another powertrip release. i am on the hunt for guns up! vinyl for quite some time. three to four years, i believe. i got outbid a few times on copies of 'outlive' on ebay. i mean, if really wanted it badly, i could have bought it from discogs. but only for too much money in my eyes. that's why i always stood away from a purchase. when i saw that powertrip records from my former home town leipzig would do a compilation release, i rejoiced in my heart.
on top of 'outlive' powertrip put the first album 'all this is' on the comp as well. demons run amok pressed a shortened version on 7" format back in 2004. so now to have the full on release was pretty cool and i awaited the pre-orders eagerly. somewhere along the way i missed the actual date when pre-orders went live. when i joined the party the limited yellow vinyl seemed to be gone already.
there was a brown version out of 500 copies. but i felt a little let down at this moment and didn't bother with it. a few weeks later my mate jake shot me a mail tipping me off that there was a guns up! compilation available, because he thought that i was a fan. right so, my friend! just out of curiosity i checked the webshop again and whatever it was the yellow vinyl was available. were the copies on tour with the band or the pressing plant couldn't deliver the yellow wax on time? i don't know. and it didn't matter at this point.
i ordered straight away and here we are with this lovely slab of vinyl. powertrip put the 'outlive' record at the beginning, followed by 'all this is', stretched the songs over four sides and all cut at 45rpm for the best possible sound. at first i thought it was cooler to have record one for 'outlive' and record two for 'all this is' but the duration of the whole output takes about fourty minutes and so it is no problem to listen to it in one go. yellow marble out of 200 copies. powertrip records. 2015.
