Var, the pressing info is 300 blue/gray.....mine has some blue in it, but its definitely not blue or gray, but purple swirl. just wondering if that is just part of that blue/gray 300 number or a different pressing or something.

There is no idea gray and no idea purple, but purple isn't mentioned at all in the discography.

They are all different shades of the second (sounds silly) pressing. These were pressed back before var's soul was impregnated by the ghost of a collector nerd. It was all about the music, man. Before we had families and houses. Before colors were a commodity. The good ole days.

I have no recollection of the colors other than a nice bright baby blue... and that the first press was black. The rest is a blur. Perhaps that record was a precursor of things to come. Danarchy still lurks the haunts of Gainesville... as does Pung our dreams and aspirations.
Wait, did that mean anything? I think I got lost in the woods of words up there. Hmmm...

You can have a free copy of the 6" if you ask nicely when you place another mailorder... if there are any left. We ran out of covers a while back and gave away a few hundred somewhat-warped records.

I know, I know. If anyone should have an old photocopier, it should be me. But I do not.
I housed a CWV-related copier for a couple years, but it did not work very well. There was a local fellow in a band who would work on it for records... but he moved. We eventually put it next to the road and someone took it after a few days. (Strangely, it was the same sort of copier that I used at my old job, circa 1990-1994.)
All the new copiers are probably too good for anything I'd want to use them for. They are glorified scanners / printers. Too sharp, too digital. Somewhere, I bet there is a place that has only 1980's and 90's copiers for art students to use. Right next to the real 80's arcade games and a pet rock collection.
