This is the 2nd press of The Wonder Years' 2nd LP, and their first to get a vinyl release. The Upsides is completely untouchable. This press handled by Run For Cover Records and was put out last year. It differs from the 1st press with different artwork and its housed in a gate fold sleeve which is the reason I'm after this and a 1st press to hit the target. Wasn't too difficult getting hold of it, though the UK distro I got it from is now out of stock of all colours. I ordered a brown, the only one they had, but was e-mailed asking if a purple was ok as the browns were all gone. RFC still has some and there's probably a few dotted around various places. 2000 pressed in total across 4 colours: brown, purple, clear and yellow.
I'm yet to hold a 1st press in my hands (edit: got one now), but this 2nd press is pretty impressive. Nice marbling on the record itself as well. To be honest, I prefer this cover art.
So a relatively simple first addition, the next TWY post will feature something a bit rarer that I had to work a bit harder spend a lot more to get.
Right, if the thought of reading a fuck load of pressing info for TWY discography fills you with boredom, I'd look away now. This is here first and foremost for my reference. A place where all the info from multiple websites is all in one relevant place. Maybe it will aid other collectors too. If I'm wrong on any of it or missing any of it (tests etc) , please help me out and comment.
Some of those subscription 7"s are going to be a challenge.
