morning again - as tradition dies slowly

another classic being re-pressed. after revelation re-issued the heavy-hitters of their back catalogue over and over again, it was finally time for one i was hoping for ages. an original coloured copy of morning gain's crowning work 'as tradition dies slowly', a lovely opaque sky blue vinyl, is pretty damn hard to come by for a price i am willing to pay, so the re-press is heartily welcomed.
usually i am far more familiar with the european representatives of that specific kind of hardcore/metal that was so popular in the nineties, especially with the belgian bands. and regarding u.s. bands i probably would choose culture over morning again but still this record's quality is beyond debate. sadly morning again split up after four years in 1999 and with only one real full length.
since then the band did a couple of re-union shows spread across the states, europe and asia, starting in 2000 up to this year. sometimes under different names and with changing line-ups. so i don't really expect them to release new material, but in the end you never know. revelation came up with clear vinyl for the re-press. mine has a nice black smudge inside the clear. unknown quantity. revelation records. 1998/2015.

postscriptum: thanks to willem's comment i repeated my research for pressing information. 550 copies on clear vinyl. thanks, mate!
