I know these og checks are getting sort of tired, but I want to confirm I just got a n original copy (first lp). Does someone have off hand the matrix number on the original. For instance, is it written or is it stamped on there ? GNS whatever. wasn't there a japanese reissue or japanese boot or something awhile back? I'm afraid I dropped a lot on a reissue. Got two copies one the matrix is stamped on there and one is hand written. one has very little space in the run off and one has a lot of space. The one that is stamped was sealed real tight, had ringwear and a cut corner. that usually tells me original, it also has that funky smell. unless of course there was a japanese boot or something back in the 80s...or unless it was resealed or something.damn why do they have to make these represses so similiar ?! dave

    Check to see if the sleeve looks the same, I remember guinness had thick grainy card sleeves and the paper square stuck on the back and inside the sleeve there was a card lip at the botton inner and a cut that run along the top inside but not the bottom, Most were stamped but some OG'S were written, will check Newban later

    wow, you remember all that from memory ?
    thanks. if you could check your copy that would be rad.

    can you confirm that there is a bootleg or something of this ? remember hearing about one with lesser sound quality a while back...

    The Guinness titles I've seen have definitely had the old paste-on sleeves...

    The reissue has a thick brown cardboard paste-on sleeve too. If I come across my copy I'll report back with the run-off etchings...

    Not sure what the boot/reish looks like that came out a year or two ago, Just checked Newban and it has G N S 36004 AS -1A stamped in the run out groove if that helps, compared it to a few other releases that i could find like Mad Cliff, Black Heart and the stamp is identical
