Vagrant (2016, Reissue)
This is the last of the Vagrant 20th anniversary reissues of Group Sounds. It's on solid, translucent yellow vinyl. I suppose it's the least interesting of the three newer reissues, though I will admit that yellow is my favorite color so I have a bit of a soft spot for it.
Considering that the others were wackier splatter variants, I'm not sure how this relatively tame third one ended up coming out. The color doesn't really tie into the artwork particularly well. You could make an argument that the cobra is yellow, but that's kind of stretching it and the cobra certainly isn't the same color as the LP itself.
It could just be one of those unsolvable mysteries, but if there's a Rocket From The Crypt variant out there, it needs a loving home in my collection. All three of these reissues have that loving home now. I'll write up the two Live From Camp X-Ray reissues next.
