I don't know the numbers, but the OG is pretty unmistakable. Cover is standard 60s medium heavy brown cardboard. Also, a sniff test should help. You should smell a musty smell as opposed to a 'new vinyl' smell.
yes ... it confirms
thanks
anyone else get fooled by the sniff test because you REALLY want the record to be og??? Delusionalstrut.com. By the way, I am a fan of this record.
Honestly, I never have any need to apply the sniff test... the feel of the sleeve and vinyl (along with the appearance of the label) tell me all I need to know...
IMO: it's a pretty good Les Baxter record for what it is... a soundtrack... it has roughly the same song in different lengths and arrangements about 4 times, but also has a really heavy break in one of the versions that plays well besides just having the break.
There is also a white label promo 45 with the title song 'wheels' b/w 'chain fight'
just my 2 cents
I am admittedly NOT in it for the breaks, but if any break could spark your imagination, it's the drums on a couple tracks on this OST. The break on "Hot Wind"(I think that's the tune) is monstrous and a nice instro. A way better than average cycle OST. Some tepidness, otherwise it wouldn't be a soundtrack.
on here pretty much rule over everything else. "Hogin' Machine"
is the one with the best break, one that makes pretty much anybody rock the
without reservation.
Does Hot Wind have a break too? Or am I confusing the 2 tracks?
I think they both do...but I'm pretty sure "Hogin' Machine" has the C R A Z Y braek

And to save you all the trouble:
This can help you tell an OG from a reish. OG copies have on the very bottom of the back cover in small type the following:
"manufactured by capitol records, inc... a subsidiary of capitol industries, inc"... followed by the address.
Reissues don't have that.
