I was planning on buying this record since I saw the awesome vinyl and cover pictures of this release appearing online. The grey coloured version was fitting the cover perfectly I noticed, so I was going to go for that one. And the price was approximately 10 euro less than the rarest colour, at least in the European distro’s I visit. I was kind of shocked when I had seen that they make the rarer colour more expensive from the start.

Although I do understand the mechanism behind it; distro’s just seem to adapt to the resell mechanism that has ruled the past decades. While people who just want a copy of each colour to hold on to, are affected now also.

So I let this rest for a few months and moved on. But then when I was browsing through the online Good Life distro I saw the record for sale again, added it to the basket and checked out. Despite my earlier doubt about the higher price.

Beyond “No Longer At Ease” LP red vinyl, 330 copies

The intro and way of singing is what I like about it. The vinyl is nice and thick, colour looks great also. Good addition to the collection.
