Turn The Tide

Looking back, 2020 was a weird year. Somehow it seems like a lifetime ago now. During that weird year, when we were all stuck at home and not allowed to really go anywhere or do anything, I tried my best to spend some of the money I was saving on new releases, so I ended up with some records that I probably wouldn't have been overly attracted to in a normal year. One of those records was 'Turn The Tide' by Don't Sleep, with Dave Smalley on vocals and which reminded me a lot of early Down By Law records that I absolutely loved in the early 90s. Well, a while ago I spotted a test press on eBay which was at a pretty good price, so I watched it and won as the only bidder.

As per the picture, this one comes in a plain white paper sleeve, although it does at least have a sticker on it to say what the record inside is. As per tradition on here, I pulled out the regular copy of he record to take a more interesting photo.

The band actually put out a new record last year, which I still didn't get around to picking up. I need to get on to that at some point soon, although I need to find a copy for sale in the UK first.
