Big Laugh from Milwaukee are one of the current 'live' Rev bands, making their debut last year with a 7" called 'Manic Revision'. Originally released by a label called 11PM Records back in 2020, there were 600 copies made across three separate pressings that all sold out. The band are young and play music that just sounds like good hardcore, but I'm not sure I can come up with a decent comparison. Definitely worth checking out.
Once Rev picked up this band they decided to reissue the 7". In total Rev pressed 1,000 copies spread across three colours of vinyl. The most limited version is the black vinyl. This colour was exclusive to Rev for mailorder and is out of 200 copies. Interestingly, despite being the most limited colour, this is still available, proving that all people want these days is colour vinyl.
There were also 500 copies on orange vinyl which are now sold out. My copy is shown below on the left. I had some help here and managed to also get some weird one off variant, shown here on the right:
And finally, bizarrely the third colour is referred to as 'blue and red marble', for which there are 300 copies. In actual fact, this is basically grey vinyl. But these days it seems that vinyl colours are not permitted to be described using one word, so 'blue and red marble' it is. Again, I had some help and managed to get some copies on different shades of 'blue and red marble'.
There are also some red vinyl copies that were mainly sold by the band on tour, but I am unclear as to whether red copies were specifically ordered, or whether they are just a variant of the orange. The whole pressing is a bit of a mess really, but kinda fun to try to collect.
