Home Truths 2

So in my last post I talked about how much I had been enjoying the band The Living Memories, who hail from Baltimore and count Stephen St. Germain (from The First Step) as one of their members. Mike turned me onto them a couple of years ago because it sounded like something that I would like, even though he hated it (although I think we all know that these days, he would love it).

Well anyway, when I got around to asking whetherit might be possible to buy a test press of the second record, I also asked about a test press of the first record too, and ended up doing a deal. Stephen also fished out a spare one of the regular covers to put it in, which was very much appreciated.

This test has hand written labels, which is a nice touch.

So, same as the other record, when I had agreed to buy a test I also figured that it would be kinda stupid to not then buy the other colour vinyl copy. I got a good deal, and I'm glad I picked it up as it looks great. This is one of the 200 copies on 'orange' vinyl (which is clearly yellow):

I pulled out the clear copy that I was donated a couple of years ago to take a pic of the complete collection:

This is so good, and I would advise you give it a minute to check it out. Especially now we're in the summer. If you are into it then it looks like there are still colour copies of this record available from the band / label, although the webstore doesn't allow you to choose which colour you want.
