Losing Power

In addition to the REACT! and Reaper Records pressings, Powered Records did the Euro pressing of the Double Vision album from ON. I love how Powered uses a different color on the album cover to really differentiate between the Euro and US pressings. They have done this in the past when working with Six Feet Under Records on the True Colors stuff, and it adds a nice touch with the Double Vision LP as well.


Powered pressed 200 pieces of red vinyl. 150 of them were used for the pre-order, which were stamped and numbered on the lyric sheet/dust sleeve. Number 78 of 150.


Pre-orders for all three record labels went up in June. I think there were some delays in getting these out, but even while Powered posted that the records were going to start shipping at the end of October, I didn't get mine until the end of December. 6 months is a long wait for a pre-order. It seems like this release really took it's toll on the Powered guys, as they included a note apologizing for the delay and stating they will be taking a little break from putting out records.

it's rather Six Feet Under who changed the colors of the original LP released by Powered. not the other way around.
I think the art of this record is the less good of all react! release and possibly Powered too.
that haircut is just not acceptable ha!
