The final couple of records that I bought from Dischord recently were two more colour vinyl Lungfish represses. I got sucked into buying these in 2022 having never previously listened to the band before, but I loved every second of every record and knew that this was going to be a long and fun journey. I then picked up three more of their LPs in 2023, but it has been two years since then and the flow of these reissues seems to have slowed somewhat. So when I realised that a couple more had appeared this year, I was keen to grab them.
First up is the band's 11th LP, first released twenty years ago in 2005 as DIS147. It was semi recently repressed on blue vinyl.
I also grabbed this red vinyl repress of the '10 East' 7", which first came out in 1995 as DIC99.5. All the original copies were on gold vinyl, and those now seem to sell for a decent chunk of change. So for a late to the party chump like me, this red repress will have to do.
Of course, about two days after my order shipped, another Lungfish colour vinyl LP was announced on the scene (their 9th LP, 'Necrophones') and I will get one of those eventually. But the totally random order in which these records are being repressed is still baffling to me. By my quick count there are still three more to go before the complete set has been reissued, and it's anyone's guess as to which will appear next.
