The Things We Carry

Record collectors usually frown a little bit on black vinyl since a) black is not really a colour and b) black is usually the most common variant. As always, there are exceptions, of course… The Things We Carry has seen a lot of different pressings so far. The first pressing amounted to 1000 in total, but it is split up in two different colours and three different sleeves, accounting to four different variants for the first press alone. All subsequent pressings were out of 1000 each. And then there's the 4th pressing. The 4th pressing you could purchase from Bridge 9 or from distros around the globe was clear red. However, Bridge 9 also pressed 100 records on black vinyl since they had found some gatefold jackets that had been used for the first two pressings. These 100 copies were sent out randomly, so people were in for a big surprise when they got their order. Seeing that this is the 3rd most limited variant of Have Heart's debut LP, it has become quite the collectible, despite the fact that it's just on black.
