Vagrant (2021, Reissue)
For Vagrant Records' twenty-fifth anniversary, they are rereleasing some records from their catalog. To say that label had an uneven output of albums is the understatement of the century, but they did give the world a few John Reis releases, so they get a pass on the rest.
In addition to being part of the Vagrant reissue campaign, this particular version of Group Sounds was released as a Newbury Comics exclusive variant, limited to five hundred copies. I already have five other versions of this on vinyl (and two on CD), but I just can't help myself from buying Rocket records. The urge to have a complete archive of every version of every release is something I just can't shake. Which is why the red vinyl version of the Pure Genius 7" haunts me daily. Someone sell that to me please.
Anyway, this version looks pretty solid. Yellow with splatter. I don't know that it really stands out as being anything better or worse than the other colorways out there, but when you get to the tunes themselves, there are few records in this land as great as this twenty year old masterpiece.\
