The ship has finally sunk

So my copy of Sinking Ships last ever release turned up yesterday, Out Of Touch. It was mailed on the 16th September and only just arrived! They made these to sell at Sound and Fury '08 but the Gold version didn't turn up in time so they only sold the Blue version.



Anyway, it's not super rare and is limited 250. These are all over Ebay at the moment, I just need to get a copy of the Blue version now.

I wish I could of seen Sinking Ships just one more time before they split up. I saw in a tiny venue that got destroyed when they came on the stage. For some reason I never picked up either of the euro tour versions they had. I bought a tshirt limited to 40 they printed themselves in a garage.

Two more versions of Hammer Bros - II came in the post on the same day too, that I won on Ebay. I had won two Hammer Bros records from a seller on ebay and was outbid on the other two rare pressings he was selling. So I message him asking him to let me know if the buyer doesn't pay let me know. A week later he message me saying the guy hasn't paid so he gave me the 2nd Chance Offer!



I was so happy to finally get this version of the release. Its a friends press limited to 15 and has been silkscreened, also hand numbered. So I couldn't wait to find out what number I was getting.



I got number 1!

The other version I got was the Yellow Side By Side rip-off cover, which is also limited to 15. The vinly is a clear Blue and its a real deep Blue. I love clear vinyl especially Red and Green, it looks so much more classy than splatter and marble.



I read online somewhere, probably the B9 Board, that the band don't even listen to Side By Side and had nothing to do with the design of the cover. There are 2 other colours of the cover that I also need to get, Green and Blue.
