RRR was Hey Colossus's seventh album, originally released back in 2011 by Riot Season on CD and a ridiculously limited LP. The band had a weekend booked in at The Dropout Studio, Camberwell, in the winter of 2010. They were going to do "some recording". The Friday of the weekend the six-piece played a show at The Windmill in Brixton. The show was a typical (of the time) debauched affair, in the post-show glow the band asked Jon (Notorious Hi-Fi Killers) and Leon (Shit And Shine) to come down to the session the following day: Bring guitars, what can go wrong? By noon they hadn't shown up so they got called: Where are you? Neither believed the offer to be true, by 1 PM they showed up with guitar and synth in tow. An hour later RRR was being recorded by the now eight-piece band, lights down, volume up. Over 48 hours it was done. This reissue comes in a 350gsm printed sleeve wide-spined sleeve; Includes insert and download code; No repress; limited edition of 400.

The legendary Peter Kemp, had this to say: "The record starts off with slow guitars and screaming ghostly voices like from a horror film, this first track ends with some talking and then goes into the next song which sounds like they are swinging the guitars around their heads and banging them on the floor....there are dark voices screaming ARRRRRRRRGGGHHHHH ARRRRRRRRRGGGGHHH ....The next song does sound a bit more Spanish as it starts with a guitar which sounds like a Spanish church bell and a deep voice which sounds like somebody praying and another voice which sounds like somebody dying....The closing song is faster and has talking in it and what sounds like a priest in the background and then lots of loud guitars come in - it is a good way to finish the record. Overall I think this was very good record by a brilliant band and I would give it ten out of ten."
