Something To Forget

Despite my obsession with trying to collect every piece of Revelation Records vinyl, at some point i decided that I wasn't interested in collecting multiple copies of the Texas Is The Reason 2xLP. But then a year or two ago there was a new pressing on purple vinyl, and I made the decision to buy it, and I effectively decided to carry on trying to collect this record, despite having intentionally avoided a few pressings of it. Recently I picked up two more copies from different sources.

First up is a brown vinyl version. This was the most recent pressing from 2024, but I'm not sure how many were made.

The second version is this clear yellow pressing. This was from 2022, and was the third clear yellow pressing (although the first pressed at RTI after Rainbo closed down). Given that I don't own any of the older yellow vinyl copies, I'm not sure if there is much difference, although I'm pretty sure that the only way to tell would be to compare the matrix on each record.

The pressing info on this record makes it pretty much impossible to collect at this point. There were about four different orange vinyl pressings and three yellow. I'd probably collect them if I could be certain of which was which, but I'm not sure how to figure out which is which. The main one I know for sure that I am missing is the red vinyl pressing, but I'm sure that I will eventually find one of those. If anyone can help with next level detail about the orange and tellow pressings, please get in touch.
