I've got some holes in my record collection that are pretty embarrassing. 2002 was a strange time for me. I wasn't buying very much vinyl at the time, preferring to buy CDs, and strangely enough, I was listening to a lot of hip hop. Because of these two things, I completely missed the boat on Burn's Last Great Sea 7 inch. I don't know...I guess at the time, I kept expecting Revelation to package these three songs from this release with the first 7 inch, and release them all on CD. It never happened, and therefore it took me about 6 years to finally hear these songs. Complete shame really, because these songs were written and recorded in 1992, and totally capture that classic Burn sound.
Purchasing the Record Store Day pressing of Burn's first 7 inch really highlighted the Last Great Sea hole in my collection, and I knew that I had to remedy it soon. The eBay search began and it wasn't long before I had myself a copy. It wasn't the blue vinyl pressing that I was hoping for, but the black vinyl was pretty cheap, so I figured that I'd start there.
700 pressed on black vinyl.

Funny enough I was buying mainly hip hop at the time too but I did mamnnge to buy this 7" (on blue). It's a great record actually. I'm still missing a copy of the cleanse 12" though.
*manage.
Somehow, I totally missed out on Last Great Sea when it came out and I took me seven years to find a reasonable priced blue copy.
Mark, it is crazy how many hip hop CD's I downloaded at the time. How many of them do I listen to today? Zero. I probably listen to one hip hop album a year nowadays...and it usually ends up being the Method Man/Redman disc.
I bought most of it on vinyl (of course)but I still listen to a bit of it. Not as much as I used to though. My favourite record from around that period is the Non Phixion album. Amazing!!!
ouch that Burn on blue on eBay went for 115 bucks!!!
That shit was ridiculous. That Burn record shouldn't go for much more than $50. I was hoping to pick up the first 7 inch on pink, but $183 was retarded.
Definitely is, that one pink always goes for 60 bucks tops.
