Pink is an album by Japanese band Boris, released in 2005 on Diwphalanx Records in Japan and subsequently reissued in the US on Southern Lord. The album received very favourable reviews, largely for taking a more melodic and accessible direction than had been taken in the band's work in the past. A music video was also shot for the title track, but was limited to less than 100 copies on DVD. It has not surfaced elsewhere.

[edit] Pressing History

Year Label Format Country Out of Print? Notes
2005 Diwphalanx CD Japan No Some copies featured a die-cut sleeve around the jewel box
2005 Diwphalanx 2xLP Japan Yes Ltd. 500. Deluxe 2xLP featuring a die-cut "stencil" cover and extended cuts of "Pseudo-Bread", "My Machine", "Farewell" and "Just Abandoned Myself"; different track listing
2006 Southern Lord CD US No Different cover from Japanese pressing; has same audio overall as the Japanese CD apart from featuring the same extended cut of "Just Abandoned Myself" as the Japanese 2xLP. The cover art features pictures by the poet and artist William Blake depicting Satan from his illustrations to John Milton's Paradise Lost. Interestingly, the album also comes with three paintings of bizarre devilish imagery on sheets of what resembles perforated "blotter paper," usually associated with LSD. Also, the misspelling of 'abandoned' to 'abondoned' on the album sleeve and online MP3 tagging seems to be intended.
2006 Southern Lord 2xLP US Yes Ltd. 6000. Pressed on 180g pink marble (2000), clear pink (2000) and black vinyl (2000); has same audio overall as the Japanese 2xLP; same cover art as the US CD
2007 Southern Lord 2xLP US Out of print; still available Ltd. 2000. Pressed on 180g icy pink (1000) and deep red (1000); has same audio overall as the Japanese 2xLP; same cover art as the US CD
