Aluminium music lover

Life kept me away from this blog for a few days but here we go again.
Continuing with the records a got in the trade I mentioned two posts earlier.
The last (and 2nd post) of the trade was the Split Lip 7" on blue vinyl. I have no idea how many copies of that are out there but I guess more than there are of this record


John Henry Holiday - know the ropes 7" - 2000 Livewire Records LW 5





























What we have here is the limited edition release with an actual aluminium fold over cover. They wanted to make 100 of these but fucked up a few so there are only 75. This is number 19. It's beautiful.





























Prior to this trade I had only heard maybe one song by JHH on a compilation sometime, somewhere which I think I liked ok. So it was not very high up in priority but I knew I was going to get one or the other copy sooner or later because it has Dan O on vocals and none of his bands are bad. Meaning I kind of collect all the bands he was/is in. Meaning when I see a record he sings on for a good price i'll pick it up but I don't really go hunting for it. Due to this I thought I would pick up this ltd. edition rather later than sooner but there it is. My first copy of this 7" and it's the most limited version I need for my collection. Or is there maybe a pre-order or release show edition or anything like that? I'm not sure if I saw something like that. Discogs says there were 450 copies pressed on clear vinyl. Does that include the 75 with the aluminium sleeve? Was there no black vinyl? So many questions. I need to see a collection shot.
