I spent a lot of time with Ceremony this year. At the start of the year, I listened to their 2019 LP 'In The Spirit World Now' for the first time, and I was totally addicted to it. This made me want to improve my pathetic Ceremony collection, and in August I picked up a grey vinyl copy of the second LP 'Still Nothing Moves You' to replace my ugly green vinyl third press copy. So it seems fitting to close out the year with another Ceremony upgrade...
The band released a 12" containing six cover songs back in 2011, and at the time I picked up one of the common (but nice looking) clear vinyl copies, of which there were 1500 copies made. Well, a week or so ago in Boston I came across a copy of the rarer red vinyl pressing (500 copies) for sale for pretty damn cheap, so I added it to my pile.
When I bought this, my intention was to sell the more common clear vinyl copy that has been sat on my shelf for 14 years and keep the red one. But when I got home and pulled it out, I don't think I can do it. They're both very pretty things to look at, with their screen printed b-sides, so like a fool I have decided to hang onto both.
