Ever since I started collecting around 5 years ago, my holy grail was always "We Are The Romans" by Botch. Copies have always been around on ebay for no less than $100 so I never pulled the trigger on those. Last year, Hydra Head repressed them after they said they found extra jackets in their warehouse. Not sure if I even believe that story but whatever. I missed the online pre-order but they posted a list of record stores that got copies and one was by my house. I drove over there and sure enough I found it. When I went up to pay for it the guy just told me that was the only copy they received and he had just put it out on the floor that morning. Then he congratulated me on owning a classic record. Went home to play it and it was even greater than I imagined.
So what's my holy grail now? I honestly don't know. I own pretty much everything by my favorite bands. I guess something will come up in the future. |
Did you seek Hydras new kickstarter? It's to keep repressing their back catal
