New Age Records continue their mission to reissue all of their 90s catalogue on limited colours of vinyl for those of us still standing in 2011 to lap up. The latest is the final 7" by Outspoken, which I remember picking up back when it came out like it were only yesterday. 'The Current' picked up right where the LP had left off, but with better songs and a much better quality recording all round. It really was a sad day when this band called it quits. I remember reading the 'final' interview in Second Nature fanzine and feeling truly sad. Yet here I am buying the same record again and somehow 16 years have gone by. And after all that time, this 7" still sounds good.
For this 2011 repress, there were 147 on 'cool blue' vinyl. My copy isn't that blue at all. It's only a shade up from white if you ask me:
There was also an obligatory 77 copies pressed on a different colour with Walk Proud labels that comes in an alternate, photocopies sleeve. The '77 pressing.(Anyone interested in knowing why New Age do this should read my history lesson.
Also, it's probably worth mentioning that New Age now have someone else looking after their mail order, so if you are thinking about ordering these then you don't have to worry that you'll be waiting 6 months. You can still sneak in an order as both appear to be in stock in the New Age store.
