Question about EVOL LP - Page 2

xfoliate · 10.17.2009, 04:11 AM

I can tell you guys that all the colored vinyl on SST (At least for Sonic Youth) were reprints. SST reprinted a BUNCH of albums on colored vinyl in the early 90's I think? This part I'm assuming but I would imagine that any albums that came out around that time would be first pressings on colored vinyl? I dunno. But The Sonic Youth stuff were pressed in the mid to late 80's and all first pressed on black vinyl. The way you can tell is that the first printings had NO barcode on the back while all the colored vinyl editions had barcodes on the back. That goes for all of those SST reprints. They're ALL still ridiculously rare though. Seems like they're more rare than the first pressings or collectors don't give those up as readily.

From all I've seen there's only a Pink Marbled edition of EVOL and a Purple Marbled edition of Sister. I've seen other bands like the Screaming Trees have multiple colors on SST but in all my years looking I've never seen any variation on those Sonic Youth SST records.

Hope that experience helps the hunt for everyone.

For and SY fan looking for locked groove records, THE essential purchase is Lee Ranaldo's first solo album, From Here to Infinity. A whole album of the most completely lush locked grooves, on clear vinyl with this great Savage Pencil etching. Issued by Blast First. It's reasonably possible to still find I think. So so good.

thanks! will search for it! (have it on cd, but yeah, vinyl with this kinda artwork and locked groove would be so deadly in my tiny collection)

Yup.
As well as the pink EVOL & purple Sister, SST also pressed the Starpower 10" on at least grey, purple, yellow & brown. The yellow & brown ones hardly ever turn up though.

All the "Blast First" coloured copies are boots though.

Looks OK to me. Not worth the asking price though.

I got one greenish grey marbled copy of Evol LP on eBay. And one Goo in the same color.

hirsute_biped · 11.18.2009, 12:07 PM

i jut saw a new copy of EVOL in a local shop for $29.99 yesterday, on Blast First. I think an "import" sticker was on there, and the shrink wrap was loose, though still sealed. I'm guessing boot. In any case, the cover was nicely printed, not totally obvious bootleg cheap-ass printing. Not sure on the details of the disc though... I refrained from purchasing as I got the SST edition at home. I've been seeing EVOL turn up in shops a fair amount recently actually
