Ray & Porcell

Another addition to my slowly growing Revelation Records collection here. Despite the fact that this is kinda viewed as a ginger step child by many collectors, this was actually something of a grail for me.
Rev #23 The Ray & Porcell 7"
It wasn't a grail because I think it's fantastic musically or anything, it simply became a bit of a grail because I missed out on one maybe a year or so ago and ever since it just hasn't appeared on the Bay. So when a seller put up a load of Rev colour vinyl for sale recently I had my eyes in just one.

If you've never heard this it sounds like an echoey Shelter playing with a drum machine. The tracks aren't that bad though, if they'd have had a real drummer like say Sammy, I reckon this would have sounded heaps better.

This is the purple vinyl version limited to 1000.

Shelter for the Youth Of Today

Every blogger and his dog have written about these reissues so I'm gonna make this brief.

Here are my copies of the recent Youth Of Today represses on Revelation Records. Both look awesome and as I didn't have them on vinyl previously I'm super stoked to have these.
It's the same with all these reissues from Rev, when they have come out in previous pressings I've been deep in CD land, so whilst I've owned them and I know the albums well, I just can't get enough of adding these vinyl copies to my collection.

On a related Cappo note, I thought I'd include this in the same post. Shelters - The Purpose, The Passion.

I loves me some Shelter and I picked this up the other day in a bargain bin for £4. What can you buy for £4 ($6 for my american friends) these days?

It's on the weakest looking red colour vinyl I've ever seen, I mean that thing is seriously anemic. At that price you can't go wrong though.
