Hectic Collecting

I didn't really start looking for this version till about 2000....yeah 11 damn years ago. There's only 250 on pink marble, but 2750 on black. I think I have like 3 on black. I only know 2 people with a copy of this on pink. Marcus and my Long Island buddy Dan. What a bitch this has been. The thing came out in 1993! I mean how could it be this difficult to find?




One interesting thing that's going to be very tough to understand is the different variations of that marble. Mine is more like white and red, not really pink.




Something else that I don't think I'll ever know for sure, but it's fun to wonder about is, I think the receiver on the cover of the 7" was the receiver my parents owned and I grew up listening to. It's been gone for more than 20 years though. Anyone know the model of this thing?




Got a lot of things going on right now. Not just LP and The Old LP. I'll be sure to do a post on here once everything is up and running. Thanks!



EDIT: in looking at these pictures I took, the record does seem pink. No idea why. In reality though, the record is mostly white and red. I guess my iPhone 4 doesn't really have the capability to capture the exact color of the record.

  1. Looks like a good one you got there. Some good swirl action going on.

  2. i have this on "pink" as well and mine also has some multi-color action going on, but i think it's more of a splatter effect than swirl or marble. you can check out an image of my copy on your deadformat.net.
