More Rev Represses (Youth of Today)

Back in May Revelation repressed BDTW on red and WNITA on white. Turns out the Official numbers are /760 on red and /788 on blue for the 2012 repress. We all know the history of the BDTW on red, and if you don't then you should go read Marcus' account of it on Vinyl Noize. Since Revelation repressed it on red, we knew it was only a matter of time before it was released on blue as well. I am glad that I have a chance to own copies of this album on these colors now without having to pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars for them. However, I am slightly disappointed that these were released because it ruins the mystique a little bit surrounding the original releases of this album. I think it would have been more appropriate if Rev kept the red and blue colors but changed it up by making it a marble or splatter. Something to make it a little bit different from the originals. But hey, I'm just glad to own these so I shouldn't be complaining. Both colors look incredible, but I think I am more partial to the blue vinyl. Red just seems to be a much more common color.

The earlier red copy has a black sticker on the wrapping that says it includes a digital download, while the blue copy has a blue sticker that says limited edition color vinyl. Both jackets look exactly the same with the same barcode number so these stickers may be the only way to differentiate sealed copies of these releases. Little things like these are why I prefer to keep the shrink wrapping on my releases.

I would say this reissue cover is much better then Revelation's last effort.

Here is WNITA on red, looking sharp! I prefer the red color over the white, but I typically just don't like white vinyl that much. This red looks exactly the same as the BDTW on red. The Official pressing info for this is /770 on white and /790 on red. 

Here it is next to the white copy. It should be noted that the more recent red copy also has the blue Rev sticker on the front saying its limited edition color vinyl. 

Here is Rev's most recent reissue of CCME on clear. Looking pretty sharp as well. I have never been very fond of clear vinyl but it seems fitting for this release somehow. This clear version is out of /550.

Here it is next to my red copy out of /443. The newer clear copy also has a an additional white sticker that is not on the red copy. Now that the purple copy of this release is out of press I feel the need to own it. I knew I should have just bought it when I had the chance. 

I'm glad Revelation is cutting out the corny reissue covers already. This ones far superior to the 1997 reissue, which was possibly one of the lamest covers ever!

Youth of Today and In My Eyes Re-issues are IN!!!

So today I was thrilled to see that my Youth of Today and In My Eyes pre orders had come in! I looked on Rev and it said that the YOT pre orders were shipping June 7th! I had to rush and take some quick pictures to get up for everyone to see. So far it had been a mystery what the colors where going to be, so I'm sure that I wasn't the only who was anxious to find out what these reissues looked like. The Revelation RSD "Big 4" really has NOTHING on this "Big 4"!

This Break Down the Walls comes on a absolutely gorgeous red, with the Wishing Well labels to boot! I was by far the most excited to own this vinyl out of all 4. I don't think Rev could have done any better, this thing looks fantastic.

Next is Y.O.T.'s "Were Not In This Alone" with the Caroline cover art. This thing looks really great as well and was the only one to come with a poster. Now lets all stand around and grab our nuts.

This is actually my first time owning any In My Eyes on wax. Here is "Nothing to Hide" on a very nice green.

And finally "The Difference Between" on what is my favorite vinyl of all 4 of these, as far as color goes I mean. This purple looks really outstanding, I need to take a picture when I have more time of it in the light, you can see a slight swirl/marble effect in it as well. I will be waiting to see if Rev announces different colors. I have no idea the pressing info on these, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I got the most limited color since I got my pre orders in pretty fast. We'll see what other colors pop up as other bloggers start posting these. Now off to the movies with my girl.... enjoy!

Youth of Today reissue madness!!!

So since today I got my pre-order in at RevHQ today for those new Youth of Today color represses that everyone is talking about, I figured why not show my other represses that I got not too long ago off Rev? Here is the Can't Close My Eyes 2011 repress on red (/443). They also have it on purple (/562). I opted for the slightly more limited pressing, but now I kind of want the purple too. Maybe in a future order if its still hanging around on Rev I'll throw it in there. 

Here's the 2011 Record Store Day pressing of Youth of Today's S/T 7". It's on red vinyl (/1350). Both of these are still available at RevHQ, so if you don't have them you might as well scoop them up when you get your Break Down the Walls and We're Not In This Alone pre orders! I guess Rev just can't get enough of repressing Youth of Today vinyl, but hey I'm not complaining!
