Wow, no sooner than we start this blog, a true gem is spied in the wilds of ebay. What we have here is a “The Way It Is” Revelation Records shirt. This is an odd shirt from the early Revelation Records days for the following reasons;
- The shirt features the Revelation Records logo and star, and was NOT made by Revelation Records.
- The shirt features a picture of Raw Deal on the back who were not on the comp.
The story as I know it(which may be wrong) is that Tim Singer made a small batch of these at the same time as the Raw Deal “no More Games” shirts were printed up. Not sure why, but I am glad he did.
This shirt SHOULD represent the ideal for Revelation Records memorabilia collectors, but there are few out there, and many people have never even seen this design.
I am going to try to get some further information from Tim Singer about the origins of the shirt.
Good luck with the bidding, as I assume that this baby will sell for a pretty penny.
