So I decided to do a lazy post here with a bunch of Rev 7"s I got a couple of months ago. All of these were pressed and sold in 2021 and I got them a while ago, but I have delayed posting them as I have pretty much nothing to say.
Fun fact - 2 of these records were pressed in the US and 6 were pressed in the UK. So let's play a game...
Guess which two were pressed in the US. Leave your answer as a comment. If I get at least 10 comments (which seems unlikely), then I wil come up with a prize, and whoever is first to get the right answer will win the prize. Oh yeah, and it almost goes without saying, but the prize will be a record.
Good luck!

I guess the Title Fight and Tørsö 7s were pressed in the US, as both are transcluent colors and the other six seem to be solid.
I think Anonymous is right. But just to see if you get 10 comments I’ll say Burn and No For An Answer for a laugh
I'm terrible at this game, but the Crippled Youth and Slipknot vinyl looks dull and uninspired, so that is my guess.
Torso and Slipknot are pressed in the USA, the labels look a bit larger.
without breaking out the records and checking myself, im going with what nico said. (so he gets credit first)
Just to keep things interesting: Inside Out and Quicksand.
Nffa & Burn
Inside out and Quicksand
Title Fight and Torso are US press
Does the 10th comment have to include a guess? Technically not, I‘d say, as the phrasing was “If I get at least 10 comments“. So, this is the 10th comment…
Ralf, you are right. Technically ten comments have been received so I must come up with a prize... even though I was hoping I might get ten different people comment. Way more than ten people have read this post according to my stats, so I guess the majority didn't want to join in the fun.
Anyway, here's the thing... nobody has got the answer right. So despite the number of comments, there's still no winner, so nobody gets a prize. Funny, because I thought this was easy, but I guess nobody really pays as much attention to the minute detail except me.
Just for fun, I guess Tørsö and Crippled Youth are US-Press, as there seems to be no Rev-Logo on the labels… or maybe you just took a picture of the b-side, haha.
Ok, so I figured that I would draw a line under this post. Nobody managed to guess the correct answer. The answer is...
Burn & Torso were pressed in the US.
All of the others were pressed in the UK.
I liked that some of the people who had a guess provided an explanation.
Title Fight is the UK red vinyl press, but there is also a red vinyl copy that was pressed in the US, and there is very little difference between them. So that was a tricky one to identify.
The worst of these 7"s aestheticaly is the No For An Answer 7". The labels look stupidly small in comparison to the others. To me this makes the record look like one of those inflatable donuts. Once you see it you can't go back.
Balls see I got Burn right and that label is why is said No For An Answer - that was my admittedly flawed logic
