Just spotted a VG+ copy of Soul For Real’s first album Candy Rain from 1995. It’s in Jelly Records in Clapton, London. I’ll pass but it seems like a great find for someone else, so I thought I’d give a heads up and hope a fellow Redditor goes and snaps up this rare LP with my love and kind regards.

It was £60 which seems like a good price; it’s sold for a lot more than that on Discogs and there’s only one copy on sale there currently for $200.

I promise this is the last post I will create about this release! To recap:

- EV3 by En Vogue was announced on forest green vinyl for Record Store Day. First time ever on vinyl with Japan bonus tracks.

- UK release was cancelled because the record label didn’t press enough; it became a US release only.

- Record label confirmed they are repressing it later this year but without the bonus tracks.

Nonetheless, I went for it anyway because the bonus tracks make this release for me, plus there’s no guarantee if and when a repress might come. So the second that RSD releases went on sale online in the US I snapped this up. It wasn’t easy as most either had sold out in-store already or wouldn’t ship to the UK. But Yellow Racket records in Chattanooga, Tennessee came through!

In the end it cost me about £15 more with shipping than most UK stores had been listing this for before it got cancelled. So glad to have this in my collection.
