Another repress I couldn't say no to (partly because it's on Rev and partly because it holds a special place in my heart) is this Orange 9mm debut 12" on 'rhinoceros grey' vinyl.
Unlike some people who managed to somehow avoid hearing this record for about 25 years, I first bought this in an actual shop (remember those?) when it came out. I remember seeing it on the rack and seeing the Rev logo on the front cover (which still feels like a strange move to this day) and feeling curious, but being a student with a very limited budget I wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money without hearing the band. So I asked the dude in the shop to play it for me, and I think I probably decided I wanted to buy it within 5 seconds.
My only 'complaint' with this record is the colour choice for the vinyl. I mean, for some reason I'm stupid enough to buy another copy to add to my existing 4 regardless, but the grey vinyl is quite a dark shade and seems a bit boring. I think a nice blue would have matched the cover far better, although the way things work these days maybe we'll be in store for that one next.

Ha ha...some people prefer to wait 25 years to make sure this stuff isn't just some fad.
