I came across this Burn 7" in a record store in Texas. It looked different to the other copies I have, being on a slightly dark clear red vinyl with a bit of white streaking in it. The same shop also had a copy of the opaque red vinyl in stock, so I was able to compare the two side by side. Given that this one looked different, I decided to buy it.
I initially assumed it was a variant of the opaque red vinyl pressing from 2021. But given that the store sold both new and used records, and the 7" section was a mix of the two, it could also possibly be a variant of the clear red vinyl pressing from 2015. I figured that I would never know. But then I noticed a detail that gave the game away. The clear red copy has the spelling mistake on the label ('Jugded'), whereas the opaque copy has corrected this error. Given that the label on this copy has the correct spelling ('Judged'), this is therefore a variant of the 2021 opaque red vinyl pressing.
The photo shows the 2015 clear red on the left, the 2021 opaque red on the right, and this quirky variant in the middle.
I appreciate that a lot of people will think this stupid, but I love stuff like this.
