I just noticed something a little amusing. I was bouncing around just nerding out on pressing info and I came across the Discogs page for the yellow copy of the Together comp and noticed the pictures for the vinyl changed. The new photos show a copy (seen below) with tons of black spots in it. I myself do not have a yellow copy to compare, but out of all of the ones I have seen photos of, I don't think I've ever seen one like it. Anyone else have one with black spots? Is it fairly common within the pressing like the SOIA 2nd press? (again the vinyl and pictures are not mine, they were uploaded by "otlevel7" to Discogs a month ago)   |

Cool pics!
I'm pretty sure that the user who uploaded those pics is Dave Mandel (Indecision Records). He is (or more accurately, was) a HUGE collector. I've known a couple of people over the years tell me he had THE best collection on the planet, although I think he stopped collecting a few years ago, and also sold a lot of stuff so maybe it isn't the case anymore. Anyway, given he was a big collector and (I think) worked at Rev (or certainly spent a lot of time there) I would GUESS that he may have cherry picked this very copy from Rev because of the black spots. I would also guess that there are very few like this. I've not seen one before.
On a similar note, I also have a Reason To Believe 7" which looks similar. Tough to photograph but is obvious is 'real life'.

The pressing plant rev used at the time would often speckle clear or clear colour winyl with black spots. I have spotted and non-spotted versions of YOT batman/orange, SOIA red vinyl, Crippled Youth JTF on clear, possibly some more. I think they were all done at the same plant, the one that did test presses with clear white recycled labels.
I'm not surprised some of these would come with spots.
