I ran into sketchy Wild Style LP priced at $40 and would like to know if it's a reissue. Does the orignal LP have artists on the cover or just the "Wild Style" Logo? Second, cover has no ring wear and plain white sleeve. Inside "Ape 6005 B ST REV" is engraved."Sterling" is also engraved. If this is a reissue I going to rip shit on an NYC/ebay store that NO ONE should check out.

one of the few cases where I copped the reissue and sold the OG,
because the RI was such better quality.
It is a pic sleeve, but the inside of the re-issue is on white paper & I suspect the OG is the same. I'd do what dude above suggests & cop the double lp.
That's the correct runout engraving. OG has no artists on cover and white inner sleeve.
And, dudes, the color of the inner sleeve is not really a helpful diagnostic when you're talking about a record that was released in 1983.
I thought dude meant the color of the cardboard that the pic sleeve was printed on, but I didn't make that clear in my posts.
Faux - You been a great help! Glad to know it was an original. Bigger picture question for me is how can you tell a original pressing from a reissue? Do the inner engravings prove on the difference?
Anyway...I don't care if it's an OG or whatever. What I'm bummed about is that it doesn't even have the dope "Subway Theme" on it. (The one used on the beginning of "Illmatic"). A couple of cuts use the same melody but it's played on different instruments. Anyone know what this is about? It almost sounds like they re-recorded it for some reason.
I *really* wanted to have that "Subway Theme" on there. Guess I should've got the 2LP reissue.
It did blow my mind how many samples, hooks whatever came from this OST/movie.
Yeah too bad I hadn't read this thread prior.
Seriously though, why would "Subway Theme" not be on "The Original Soundtrack"? It's integral to the film.
are you refering to the orig wildstyle theme from the movie vs the wildstyle theme from the record? cause it does seem like theres two different recordings of that classic piece, ive always been under the impression that the film version used in the opening yard scene with Lee was from some other session due to the different instrumentation.
yeah im talking bout the breaks record
in europe the wildstyle ost was put out on chrysalis germany (not raer), i thought the OG was on US chrysalis?
remixes???
do you mean the UK reissue on music of life?
Original on Animal/Jem: (front/back)
mid 90's break record:
European re-issue's 1 & 2: (front/back/gatefold)
Right on man.
Again, did I mention how bummed I am about the lack of "Subway Theme" on the original?
peace.
this one...
There was also a bootleg of the original us pressing in the mid 90's, where they just left all the label (Jem) info out (Jacket made in Canada
Thats the one !
the german pressing is of this 80s release (was what i meant), on the blue chrysalis label and turns up constantly here in dk!
also, there is at least one 12inch from this, white cover with the wildstyle artwork in red, presumably wildstyle theme as the a-side...
only info i know of is: FRED BRATHWAITE (FAB 5 FREDDY) - MUSICAL DIRECTION CHRIS STEIN - GUITAR AND EFFECTS DAVID HARPER - BASS GUITAR LENNY FERARI - DRUMS
I have the OG. One of the copies that Grand Wizard Theodore spun in the movie.
and he just throws that in like it's nothing...
that was a uk pressing I don't have it in front of me and I can't remember the song listing...
