So another quick post on a record I got for Christmas. This one was bought from Alan at Different Kitchen and it probably couldn't have been from anywhere else. There's a few cool things I like about this record a lot so let's dive in.
Ampere - The First Five Years - No Idea Records - 1st Press - Mix /20 (Fest 14 Press)
Now that pressing info is not entirely accurate. The story sits that this record was originally given away in the pre orders of the 1st Press of Ampere's LP 'Like Shadows' as No Idea like to do from time to time.
Somewhere down the line, No Idea found around 20 spare copies of this bonus LP and made some screened covers for them and sold them at last years Fest. The leftovers went online after the weekend, and last time I checked this was still available.
I believe that the original copies that came with Like Shadows also had a screened fold over style sleeve, but I never owned one so I can't be too sure! Maybe the colour of the sleeve or the ink was different on the older presses too?
Close up of the track-listing and NI logo. The typewriter font that this is printed with doesn't photograph up too well.
This live photo takes up the first side of the insert.
The other side is all of the lyrics, but a combination of textured card and the font makes it a difficult one to make out in a photograph. I thought this excerpt would be more interesting than most as it has the original designations of the songs on this LP. The Daitro split was one of those first records I saw that I fell in love with how it looked (for this genre at least), and I still need to pick a copy up. It comes along pretty cheap on Discogs so there's no real excuse!
