deadreckoning Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 As someone else mentioned the Revelation RSD 7"s (e.g., Youth of Today, Quicksand and Burn) were pressed in two batches, which resulted in slight differences the the colors. I am not sure how the numbers break down (i.e., which is more rare - will leave that to the uber nerds). But, for those who are curious here are some pics... Quicksand - s/t 7" - Dark Blue with dark marbling and a lighter blue with less marbling - Total Press of 1103 Youth of Today s/t 7" - Red and Pink - Total Press of 1350 Burn - s/t 7" - Dark yellow with marbling and light creamy yellow - Total Press of 1090 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I still need to pick these up. No stores near here had these. Such a shame too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdizzle Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Can we all please just be ok with there only being 1 variant of each record? All vinyl looks a little different. Chill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necronomidom Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I still need to pick these up. No stores near here had these. Such a shame too. I have a red (more translucent of the two) for sale or trade. PM me if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill. fair enough. i just thought it was interesting, i think the lighter colors look a bit better for what's it worth. But, I get what your saying, every record is a bit different, so that means every record i own is /1. score. That's going to blow the NOFX kids' minds.

somethingvinyl Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 So funny you bumped this. I sold (and bought a little) at a record fair today. I ended up getting YOT from Revelation. Then I found a mid-90's pressing of it on black today for $3. Kind of bummed I bought this from REV, ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlovecolouredx Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 i think want a pink youth of today.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I am going to stick with the idea, that there are two variations due to the two different pressing runs. But I did notice that my two darker copies of the Quicksand differ a bit since one is solid and the other is semi-translucent despite both being dark blue but that is probably due to mixing the colors.

mxv Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'm sticking with the reality that to make those types of colors requires mixing two color compounds and there is going to be difference between them because they don't measure them out to the exact pellet for each record. This is as silly as trying to discern differences in the purple/gray mix that No Idea uses a lot. "This one has more purple, more black, more gray, thus it is different". I like variants and all but shit like this gets a little ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like variants and all but shit like this gets a little ridiculous. i agree, it's gets a bit silly at times, particularly with the no idea mushes or "streaks" in colored vinyl. In the present case, it was something somewhat interesting and unexpected. These records were pressed in separate batches (i think rev may have ordered more to meet the demand). Thus, they couldn't get the color to match exactly. They can be differentiated. However, it's not that big of a deal, even Revelation hasn't played it up at all. But, it happened and here are pictures for those interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
