Double Helix (2023)
This will be a quick write up today as I just posted a much lengthier missive about this fabulous record the other week. Please go here if you want me to tell you how great the music is: https://www.ibuywaytoomanyrecords.com/2023/08/the-pretty-flowers-company-sleeve-lp.html
For today, I wanted to show off the limited, alternate sleeve version from The Pretty Flowers record release show. They did 47 of these in total and they were sold at the show, with a few leftovers winding up on Bandcamp. The folks at Pretty Flowers Inc. were kind enough to make sure that my alternate sleeve came with the opaque blue version of the vinyl, so I have both colors now as well. It also came with a signed promo photo straight out of 1997. I haven't seen one of those since my time writing at my college newspaper many, many moons ago.
This is one of those variant hunts that I've tried very hard to keep from overtaking my record collection. For the most part, I'm much better about only buying one version of a record when it comes out. But there are sometimes bands or variations that tug at my heart strings and I just can't help myself. This is one of those records and I'm happy to have it.
