I'm a fairly patient guy. Back in 2018 I saw that Sub Pop had repressed the first solo LP by Jeremy Enigk on a very pretty purple marble vinyl, and I wanted one. Well, time passed by and eventually, seven years later, and I finally ended up with one.
I stumbled onto this on eBay UK. It was a brand new, sealed copy which cost less than half of what most new records cost these days.
Like a lot of people, I was absolutely obsessed by Sunny Day Real Estate in 1994/95, so when their vocalist came out with a solo LP in 1996, I was pretty excited by it. I have vague memories of regularly listening to it late at night, and every time feeling like I had been on an emotional journey. It's a beautiful record, and even though I do try my best (!) to not pick up additional copies of records that I already have, I could not resist this one. Interestingly, the original catalogue number for this one was SP323, but this remastered purple version is SP1208, so I could argue that this is technically a different record, which of course makes it all ok.
