Green Rage

A year and a half ago I was lucky enough to pick up a test press of the Rage Against The Machine 'People Of The Sun' 10". Even though it was nowhere near my list of top Revelatoin releases, picking up the test press made me more keen ot pick up the colours that I had missed out on. But even though most Rev represses are pressed in quantities of 500 or more, a lot of them just don't seem to pop up for sale very often, and this release is one of them. It's kinda weird.

Well, as soon as I got back from holiday I got lucky, as one of the copies I was missing popped up for sale on eBay UK for a fair price. It was a 'buy it now' too, which made it very easy.

This green vinyl press is from 2016. There were 611 copies.

This means that I am now missing only two colours - the recent grey vinyl pressing (which in theory I can get easily) and the 2014 red vinyl pressing, which annoyed me so much back when it came out that I refused to acknowledge it existed. No doubt the red one is going to haunt me for a long time.
