Little Laughs

Hot on the heels of my last post about Big Laugh's 'Days of Disarray' 12" EP is another post about their debut release, the 'Manic Revision' 7". I first posted about this record in May 2024, when Rev reissued the 7" and I ended up with way too many different colours of it. And then last year I posted another couple of copies that I picked up, one of which was from the original pressing on 11PM Records. Well, when I picked up their latest 12", the place I bought it from also had a different copy of the 7" for a very reasonable price, so I couldn't help myself.

The clear vinyl was the limited version of the first pressing, and was out of 100 copies. I think we can all agree that clear is pretty much the best colour vinyl, especially when pressed at a good quality plant.

Well of course, after I had committed to this I had to see which other colours existed that I was missing. Turns out there was only one that I didn't have, which was the grey marble vinyl, and lo and behold there was a copy sat waiting on discogs. Obviously I had no choice in the matter and had to buy it.

This means that I now have all three colours from the orignal 11PM Records pressing:

Seems unlikely, but a test press from this pressing would be nice, then I think I am truly done here.
