Another day, another copy of the Reveal 7 inch. When I said that I was obsessed with collecting this record, and would purchase every cheap auction on eBay, I wasn't fucking around. This is serious business.
When Marcus gave me the heads up that Number 3 was available on eBay, I knew that it would be mine. Four dollars and the only bidder. You're goddamn right.
The funny part of this deal was that the seller lives about a half hour from me. I found it extremely odd that there was another dude from my home state that also had a copy of this record. I sent him a message through eBay, asking how he came across this copy, but unfortunately my question went unanswered.
Obligatory group shot, showing all the numbers that I own.
Strange that covers for number 3 and number 37 use the same color of yellow paper, while in the middle of them is a much brighter yellow for number 24.

You've inspired me. I just bought 2 of these on discogs!
Damn you! Those should be mine!
The different color sleeves out of sequence and the different pens got me thinking yet again that there could be more than 100 of these. I'd say potentially 100 of each sleeve seems plausible. Five different colors x 100 each would be 500 records total, which would be a pressing in itself.
So if you found out that there were 500 instead of 100, would this make you less keen to collect them? I'm curious.
Dude, if that day comes that I find another number on a different colored cover...I'm out.
Its actually 100 each color sleeve so 500 copies that are actually mispressings with a song got cutoff a few seconds. The guy who run PMA records at that time got another pressing done on green and white wax and Always kept these black one's untill late 90's i asked him if he still had them and why not use 100 to sell since at that time kids could be into it. He still had them but no sleeves so i made a sleeve and got 100 copied on darker brown paper that i gave him. I guess they sold pretty good because after a while i found out about other different color sleeves.
Wicked record, I've got 2 copies
