I remember that when the debut release by Texas Is The Reason came out in 1995, there was some kind of press article or promo sheet that said something like 'but only three of them are Misfits fans'. It's funny how these little things stick in your mind. Well, last year marked thirty(!) years since their debut 7" came out, so (unsurprisingly) Rev took the opportunity to mark the event with a new pressing of it. That said, with the way things are in 2026, the 7" got updated to a 12", and an extra song got added. This four song 12" version is apparently the first in a series of three 'TX30' special edition TITR 12"s.
Slightly annoying to me is that the extra song got added after the first song, not after the third. So it got added into the middle of the record, rather than being tagged on the end.
Pressing information is:
Gold Nugget (RevHQ Exclusive /300)
Opaque Green (/800)
Bone And Gold Galaxy (Retail Store Exclusive /400)
Turquoise Marble (Banquet UK / Polyvinyl US / 500)
If anyone wants a copy of the turquoise (aka blue) one, I have a spare. Hit me up if you are interested.
Well, also there has been another repress of their LP. Ever since 2013 or so, the only vinyl copies pressed of any TITR records have been a 2x12" discography (although interestingly this was never really marketed as a 'discography'). Well, Rev have now gone back to pressing this as a single LP, the same as when it was originally released in 1996. This pressing is on orange marble vinyl (/550), and is already sold out at Rev.
Apparently this LP is also going to be repressed as a 'TX30' version this year, with the same style obi-strip, and then there is also going to be another 12" of some sorts in the same series. And whilst I probably don't need any more TITR 12"s on my shelf, I like the idea of a collection within a collection.
