So my last post was the Spaced 'No Escape' 12" which, despite being a great record, felt like it should have been a 7". So while we're on the subject, here's a new 12" by Ignite.
Well, I say 'new', but this is actually a 30th anniversary pressing of their debut release, a 7" released in 1994 titled 'Where They Talk'. This came out before Zoli joined the band, but still sounds great. The purple vinyl version of the original 7" is really tough to find, and it took me many years to track one down, but I finally bagged one in 2013. But here we are all these years later and the 7" has grown into a 12" with two extra songs (both of which previously released on the 'Scarred For Life' LP that I don't acknowledge even exists as it was put out by Lost & Found Records).
Despite having two extra songs, I'm still convinced that this could have been a 7" rather than a 12". In total it clocks in at just under 13 minutes. And as if to emphasise how short this is, both sides of the record contain the same songs. Yup, that's right... there is no Side A or Side B. Both are exactly the same.
Of course, with this being a Rev release I felt compelled to pick up one of each colour. In addition to the turquoise version pictured above (the RevHQ Exclusive /300), there was also 'cloudy white' (/600), and the 'Blue And White Mix' (/300). I like Ignite, I like these songs, but I feel that I would have been happier if this was actually a 7". Oh well.
