A couple of years ago I went through a bit of a Lifetime phase when I finally discovering their final LP over a decade after it came out. So I picked up a few more records for the collection, added some more to the wants list, and then went on with life.
Last weekend I was chatting with Nico about dickheads on discogs, and I mentioned how one fool had blocked me on there just for asking if I could get a pic of a record. This would have probably been two years ago when I was in my Lifetime phase. So out of curiosity I looked and the record was still up for sale. The seller actually had very high feedback which was 100% positive, so I figured it was worth taking a risk, especially as it ticked my box for cheap stuff from within the UK.
This name of this record always seemed unclear. A lot of people (including discogs) think it's called 'An Outstanding Recording Achievement', but I always thought that those words were just printed on the sleeve to make it look like a retro sleeve (which was clearly the objective). Interestingly, if you go to the label's website, it's referred to as 'The Boys No Good'.
I can't remember if this came out on colour vinyl originally, or just black. My memory thinks that it was originally only black vinyl, and then colour vinyl pressings followed a year or two later. Jade Tree definitely went through a phase of repressing some of its releases on colour a year or two after they had first been pressed. But whatever, there are three colours of this one, and the clear copy completes the set for me. I can't remember exactly when I picked up the red copy, but I'm pretty confident that this collection is over 20 years in the making.

Asking for pictures of records in the year 2020 is so uncool! Seriously, considering the amount of incorrectly graded stuff of that site, I ask for pictures also. eBay is a lot better for avoiding such troubles.
