Today High Vis posted a new song online ('Mob DLA') and I don't doubt for a second that about a million people would have given it a listen. It therefore seemed appropriate that I posted this record today.
It was almost exactly four years ago, in the midst of the first wave covid lockdown, that I picked up the High Vis 'No Sense No Feeling' 12". I was (and still am) very happy to have a first press copy on yellow vinyl, and whilst I wasn't interested in trying to collect all subsequent pressings, I was interested when Six Feet Under Records put out a US pressing last year.
I liked that the US pressing had a different colour cover, so I decided to buy one. I got in early and got the most limited colour, which seems to be referred to as 'Ghostly Clear/Orange Vinyl' and for which only 109 copies exist.
This is definitely an interesting colour, and I am pretty stoked to have got one. But I do think that the opaque orange looks better. But I simply cannot get into collecting multiple copies of this one. Not at this stage of the game.
As a nice surprise, this record also came with a High Vis 7" flexi, which is a pretty well packaged record when compared to most flexi discs. For starters, it is round, which most flexi discs of the last 20 years or so have not been. And secondly, it comes in a proper sleeve. Although sadly it loses points for being a live recording.
The new song released today sounds to me very much like a 90s grunge band (well, except the vocals), which fits nicely with what I've spent a lot of my time listening to this year. I have no idea when a new record may eventually surface, but no doubt if one comes it's going to be special.
