Big Dreams

A record I have fallen totally in love with again over the last couple of years is Hoop Dreams by Big Kids. I listened to the record a ton when I got it and I put a variety of songs on . I managed to pick up a pink copy and a red copy last year, so of course I needed to get an orange copy eventually, and thanks to Marcus I finally managed to get one from the US. The pressing info on Discogs is kinda vague and just states ‘random mix (blues and oranges)’ for part of the first press, so there might be many different shades out there. 

Time for a nice family picture. Look at all those beautiful variants. Ah, the good old days… Getting a test press would be the cherry on top, but I doubt that will ever happen. 

Big Kids

Hoop Dreams by Big Kids is one of the the records I probably listened to the most over the last few years. I'd never listened to any of their 7"s/splits though, so I when I came across a really, really cheap copy of Don't Be A Baby, their one and only 7", I didn't think twice. The 7" is not as good as their debut LP, but still pretty good. I got lucky with this copy because a) the purple/black split looks pretty awesome and b) this is the rarest variant. There are only 126 copies of this particular colour. Pretty sure the seller didn't know this considering the price I paid. Great score all around.
