not too much new vinyl additions to my collection as of late. one of the few is this re-issue of length of time's e.p. called "shame to this weakness modern world". the original pressing on goodlife recordings from 1999 was way out of the price range, i was willed to pay and therefore i was really happy to snag the re-press which gsr music unleashed onto the world. i missed out on the actual start of the pre-orders and kind of stumbled upon it accidentally.
when i arrived at the scene the pre-orders were still going and i was happy to get a copy of the limited white vinyl version. it was delayed by the pressing plant which sent too much black vinyl instead of white by mistake. the delivery date was postponed from january to mid-february. when my copy finally arrived i was really pleased with the outcome. at first i was disappointed in gsr changing colours and layout of the original pressing.
by now i have grown to really like it. still i prefer the original but those black and white aesthetics really work well with the image shown (although i don't know what it depicts). musically i love everything length of time did and this e.p. is fantastic. great crossover sound made from hardcore and metal to forge the beast that is "shame to this...". gsr made 300 copies on white vinyl housed in a lovely reverse board cover sleeve coming with an insert. twenty year anniversary. gsr music. 2019.
post scriptum: for the first time i ordered a bundle. i could have done without the poster but the cd of "let the world with the sun go down" and this lovely shirt were well worth the price of admission.
