'Coustic

A couple of years ago I picked up a couple of Samiam records, and this kinda reminded me that I used to like this band a lot in the early 90s. But you know how it goes sometimes with bands that go on forever... at some point you lose interest and lose touch. And then sometimes you might reconnect years later. So I decided to keep my eyes out for more Samiam records. And a few weeks back I stumbled on a 7" for sale in the UK.

The 'Coustic 7" was released by a UK label (Unleess You Try Records) in 2016. It is so titled because it contains two acoustic songs, both from the 2011 'Trips' LP (which I have never heard).

This colour is one of the 100 preorder copies that were all on random colours of vinyl, referred to as 'tie dye'. Having looked at some photos on discogs of other copies, this is one of the visually less interesting copies. But it's still a nice one to have. There are about seven other colours of this record, but zero copies for sale on discogs. So not an easy find in 2025.

This still makes me want to listen to more of the Samiam records I have missed, but getting records may well prove challenging.
