Bloodlet - eclectic LP - 1997 Victory Records – VR31
Yes. It's another Bloodlet LP but this time it's a good one which is not hard as the live record which I don't like is the only one of their releases I don't like.
This record compiles all the songs from the bands 7"es. Of course I already have at least one copy of each of those but it's always nice to have all those songs in one place for your listening pleasure. I mean I love 7"es and I'm definitely going to add the still missing variants to my collection one day but it's a drag to flip over and change the record all the time. I know that's the argument people try to make for CDs or even mp3s but in this case it's still on vinyl. The superior format and only true audio source. Besides tapes of course.
Next to this beautiful black vinyl version there's also one on grey out there. No clue about numbers though. I only know that both versions were pressed at the same time. And yet there are still copies available in the Victory online store. How's that possible? Did they repress the record without saying anything about it? Looks a little like they did. At least I think it's a tad odd that exactly at the time A389 puts out the re-issue of the "Entheogen" LP, of which Victory records did get copies too, maybe as part of a licensing deal, this record seems to be popping up more frequently. But perhaps it's just me paying more attention again after a while of neglect. If you can shine any kind of light on the situation it would sure be appreciated.
