This Is All We Ever Get

A couple of weeks ago I posted about the first Spaced LP. I‘d been reminded of Spaced‘s first LP because they had a new record up for pre-order, which I had been unaware of. The first LP was a real banger and I was really looking forward to the new LP. I wasn’t the only one apparently who liked the first LP, because Spaced landed on Revelation Records. Now, this may not carry as much weight as it used to, but it is a pretty big deal nonetheless. This Is All We Ever Get hasn‘t grabbed me the way Spaced Jams had to be honest. It‘s a good record, but so far I haven‘t found a hit yet. Maybe it‘ll grow on me.

Spaced Jams

A few weeks ago I saw that Spaced had a new record up for pre-order. This reminded me of how much I liked their first LP. So I went to my record shelf to grab the record and listen to it, but I searched in vain. I checked my spreadsheet and lo and behold, I'd never bought the record. I could have sworn I got it shortly after it was released, but apparently my memory had played a trick on me. 

Luckily, Genet Records, the label that put out Spaced Jams in Europe, still had copies in their webstore, so I quickly added a copy to my shopping basket and bought it right away. As I said before, I really like this album. Gives me strong Turnstile vibes. The vinyl color looks great and this variant is even numbered on the A-side label, so what else could a collector ask for?

It’s still a big deal when Rev signs a current band. I feel like in the last couple of years Rev has done a much better job signing current bands. Speedway, Spaced and now Planet On A Chain are all bands that I thoroughly enjoy. Before those bands it was slim pickings for me for quite a while. 

Anyway, Planet On A Chain play 80s style hardcore the way I love it. It's fast, it's ferocious, it's fucking great! I mean, just look at the cover. That pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the music you can expect. I definitely need to get their other releases. 

I'm only two years behind on this band / record, which is not too bad. That's also the reason why I only managed to get a second press, but I actually like the updated cover, especially in combination with the red vinyl. Well done, Rev!
