Coming down from a weekend for this history books; Outbreak fest 2022 and a headline Touché Amoré show in Milton Keynes. Plenty of driving and plenty of terrible coffee on the road but damn it’s been a blast. I wasn’t ready to end my TA listening quite yet so I pulled out their latest full length ‘Lament’ for a quick spin. Whilst digging through my copies, deciding which one was hitting the turntable I grabbed the record release version and figured I’d do a quick post about it.
Touché Amoré - Lament - Epitaph Records - 1st Press - Electric Blue /1000 - Record Release Livestream Cover /300
This record was made available during the release show for Lament, which was live-streamed with the merch store going live during the stream. Sadly I didn’t get it during the show, there was a little confusion with the UK store and the US store wasn’t shipping to the UK so initially I missed out on this one.
I reached out to the band who were sweet enough to put the feelers out on their social media and some kind soul reached out to me in a matter of minutes and sold their copy for not much over retail.
I ended up with number 127/300 in the end. The sleeve is a quarter fold type deal that fits over the regular sleeve. I love that there is a limited sleeve for each of their studio albums, and all of them have incredible art.
The record arrived to me still sealed, so I got the extra joy of peeling the sticker off the shrink and putting it on a nice resealable sleeve because I clearly care about these things a little too much for my own good.
I’m currently hunting down two variants of this damn record, both the US and Euro tour variants. The band didn’t have copies of the Euro tour variant with them at either date, so the chase is truly never ending. I also wanted to pick up the Scowl LP (who I also caught at Outbreak and at the TA show), but they cleared out of literally everything (that band fucking rip). Finally, the Lament record release is up on YouTube in full and it’s a great show to watch. If memory serves Hate5Six handled the filming so it looks incredible. The livestream was followed by Jeremy Bolm doing a DJ set with some gems from his record collection but I’m sure that’s been lost to the sands of digital time.
