Back in 2020 I picked up two copies of the best Uniform Choice tribute LP that I have ever seen, 'Closer Still' by Change, just after it was released. Three months later and my (so called) 'release show' copy turned up and in the post for that one I said:
'I would like a clear pink vinyl copy, but other than that I'm done on this one.'
However, a little over a year later I got tricked into also picking up a 2nd press blue vinyl copy by Mike, meaning that I had four copies despite not wanting to get sucked into 'collecting' this record. And of course, now I finally scooped that pink copy that I wanted for so long, meaning that I now have five copies.
This clear pink vinyl version was the most limited colour of the first pressing from 2020. There were 100 copies made. I always wanted to pick one up as it was the rarest colour and, along with the purple vinyl version, is a nice match for the front cover art.
I now have no intention of trying to acquire any additional copies of this one, and I am even thinking about letting the other copies go that are not these two. I'll probably mull it over a little longer, but none of the others look anywhere near as nice as the pink and purple.
At some point I thought that I had read about a second album coming out, but after a quick look just now it seems that this band has been silent for a couple of years, and the more time that passes the more it seems unlikely. If something does appear at some point then great, but if not then this is a great record to have walked in, dropped and left behind.

Can‘t go wrong with pink or purple when it comes records. And in this case both colours work so well with the cover. The only thing that could this even more of a tribute to Uniform choice would be if there were different shades of purple.
