Have Heart | What Counts (Alternative Covers)

I'm glad because I actually got all alternative covers from Have Heart's EP : What Counts. Ok, there is not that much, but hey this was my goal and I completed that, so I'm fuckin' happy.

There is four different alternative cover of this record and one regular (with navy or black ink). The Test Press also have the regular cover. Last months I talked about some of that stuff when they came to my mailbox, but now my collection is complete, this is the time to make a big page with all the five covers.

Like I say each time, I don't collect every colors variations. I'm only interested by alternative covers and my only goal is to collect all this variations.

So let's begin with the regular cover !

There is two variations of the regular cover : one with "Have Heart" navy print (1st and 2nd Press) and one with "Have Heart" black print (3rd to 5th Press). The difference is very small because the navy print is very dark and looks like the black one. The orange of the cover is also a little more dark on the black version.

Check this picture :

The print on labels are also different ! The labels from the two first press comes with navy print (like the cover), the labels from the third and fourth press comes with black print (like the cover) and the labels from the fifth press comes with navy print (unlike the over). Duh...

I have the Black vinyl from the first press out of 200 copies.So, navy print on cover and label.

Then, this is the Winter Tour 2004-2005 Edition with the famous Calvin & Hobbes cover.

This is the first alternative cover made by Think Fast Records but this is the last I got. This edition come from the second press with the classic Clear Green vinyl, who is the only color avalaible from this press.

200 copies were made. It seems that 160 copies were used with the regular cover and only 40 with the Clavin & Hobbes cover. I'm not sure about the number 40, but a lot of people make a mistake when they say that the Winter Tour Edition is out of 200 copies. Think Fast picked some 7" from the 200 and put the alternative homemade cover on the regular cover.

The homemade paper cover is quality shit, but hey, the design is so cool ! Inside, the regular cover came with navy print like the label. Credits and lyrics are on the insert.

Next, this is the Bonds Of Bro-Ship edition of the third press. 300 handnumbered copies : 150 on Black vinyl and 150 on White vinyl.

I got the White one from Pat Flynn. Yes, I'm so a nerd, but I'm really happy to have a copy directly from the singer's collection.

I got the n° 139 of 150. 

Inside, the regular cover came with black print like the label.

The two last alternative covers come from the 2005's Summer Tour.

First, like the Demo 2003 with the Sub Zero cover, Think Fast made a Scorpion alternative cover for the Sink With Cali Fest III edition. 125 copies on classic Black vinyl with black print on the label from the third press.

I love this shit !

The other one is the Positive Numbers Fest 2005 edition on Clear Red out of 125 copies with an alternative cover from the fourth press.

Fun fact, this pressing supposed to be blue, but the plant sent red instead. Blue copies were sent after the fest with normal cover.

This edition is handnumbered on the back cover. I got the n° 82 of 125.
