war from a harlots mouth - transmetropolitan

pink vinyl week day #3. you remember my festival post from 2012's with full force? probably not but let me tell you that i bought two war from a harlots mouth records there at the lifeforce records booth. the first three full length records of wfahm appeared on lifeforce and they had the third, which i bought, and the first which i did not buy. that was a decision i regretted ever since. i even had a copy in my hands checking the colour, which was one of the pink vinyl copies, and put it back.
at that point i already had the re-press of 'in shoals', the second record on lifeforce, on my shelf coming with a bonus disc containing 'transmetropolitan' in whole. i thought that should be enough. what a fool i was. especially as the record would have cost me only ten bucks. in the future i struggled to get my hands on a copy for a reasonable price. some chances came but left me with empty hands after all.
so that one day when a familiar discogs message with the option to buy this baby with a twenty five price tag reached me, i didn't waste a minute and clicked 'buy now'. finally after two years and something i am able to cross this one off the list. it's an collector's rule which is as old as the game itself. take reasonable chances or pay extra in the future. hopefully i learned my lessons. by the way the record looks and sounds lovely. if you love slightly chaotic hardcore with groove, melodies, dissonance and even some jazz, this will be right up your alley! 100 made. lifeforce records. 2007.
