    I don't think this holds true for all OG copies.

    The front cover art and ABC logo on the label are noticably pixelated (not as sharp as text on back cover and track listings on label).

    Correct. I have an OG (with factory promo gold stamp) and it's printed on white cardboard. I agree that the fuzziness/pixelation of the cover art is a good thing to check. Also the reissues I've seen have a white label on the wax. Even though mine is a promo copy, it has a full color label.

    Maybe so...but the OG isn't nearly as glossy as the reish, either. I would do the smell test. I have both, and I guess side by side, it's easy to tell. Reish just plain LOOKs like a reish. Hard to explain in writing.

    thanks for the help - I think I was offered a reissue, but anybody knows how to do a smell test over the net?????

    Yea, that's how I pegged mine as a reissue. I first I thought I got lucky on a $3 dollar copy, but it's just too damb glossy.
