Often times, as I'm posting a record here on the blog, I'll stumble upon another version that I need and I'll immediately buy it as I'm caught up in the heat of the moment.
This is what happened after I picked up the white tour cover for the split 7 inch with I Rise/Soul Control at Wanna Hear It when I was there last year with Sandwell. Adding that to the collection made me want more, and when I saw that this red vinyl version was available on Discogs, I immediately bought it.
The discogs seller ended up being Kyle Whitlow, who used to run Rivalry Records and did his Seeking The Simple blog. He was delayed on shipping out this split 7 inch, and sent me a message apologizing for it, saying that he was going to throw in some extra records from his Rivalry days to make up for it. This ended up being a copy of both the Red Handed and Soul Control LPs (that I already own), plus two more copies of the Soul Control record on red vinyl (with no sleeve), and then about 15 posters from various Rivalry bands... so basically it was a bunch of stuff that I didn't need and now I need to store it or get rid of it myself.
