Vagrant (2021, Reissue)
This is the companion post to last week's Group Sounds review. As part of the Vagrant Records twenty fifth birthday thing, they've been rereleasing records from their past. As they had two Rocket records, it was probably inevitable that they'd be rereleased again. This time out though they were exclusives sold through Newbury Comics.
This was the last Rocket From The Crypt full length to be released and the fact that it is eighteen years old is a little crazy. I keep hoping and hoping that we'll get another one someday, but so far there isn't anything in sight, I'll just have to keep on hoping I suppose.
This vinyl variant looks great with the album artwork, but it's also super similar to the 2013 reissue they did for that year's Record Store Day. I'm fine always buying whatever variants are released to keep the archive up to date, but I wish they had done a version that was a little bit more unique. While this is certainly the best looking version and is an improvement to the 2013 one, it is pretty much the same and I'm not sure why they didn't make it stand out just a bit more.
Then again, most people probably aren't idiots like me that own six versions of this same record...
