Integrity Catch Up

I just checked, and in 2012 I only picked up two pieces of Integrity vinyl. I own a ridiculous number of Integrity records, but after missing a couple of pre-orders completely, I got pissed off and decided to give up. Well, I don't mean that I gave up completely, more just that I needed to take a break because missing a couple of releases stressed me out. I knew I would get them at some point. It would just be a matter of time. A couple of weeks ago it was the annual Black Friday sale in the A389 Records store, so I thought I would take the opportunity to start catching up. There's still a way to go, but it's all about taking it one step at a time at this point.

First it's the latest (fifth) pressing of the 'VValpurgisnacht' 7". This pressing sees the cover updated to now include a green Charlie, and this copy is on pale clear green vinyl. It also features updated label art.

Next up is the purple vinyl version of the split 7" with Creepout. When I ordered this back when it came out, there was no purple vinyl available in the store, although I saw a copy online so I knew it existed. But now you can freely buy it in the A389 store, so no idea if this is the rarer or more common colour. Not that it matters.

And finally, a black vinyl copy of the 'Kingdom Of Heaven' 7". This was released to mark 20 years since these songs were recorded. Back when this came out at the start of the year, the white vinyl and red vinyl sold out before I even knew this had been pressed. Now I'm looking at it positively. I have one, only need to find two more.

So after picking these up, I'm now only about 20 Integ records behind. If anyone wants to help out then get in touch.

You know you're missing clear/green mist and glow in the dark vinyl from the Walp repress!?

Yes, I do know that. I know where I can get the glow in the dark version, but if you have any tips as to where I can get a clear/green mist copy then please let me know.

Certainly, just checked, currently available in the A389 store. Imagine that!

OK, I'm confused. I ordered the same one from the A389 store that is still listed, and the one in this post is what I received.

Hmmm, looking at the photos of your Walp, it does look lighter than the regular green. Maybe you have a clear/green mist that is just green mist!?
Drop Dom a line and see what he has to say.

The one in the a389 store is clear green/mist. the other green one is a indie record store/distro exclusive that the stores/distro have to get from Cobraside (I think is the distrubitor)
