Question anyone know what the deadwax on Skull Snaps reads or the Lp numbers etc etc? I came up on a copy today and I honestly cant tell whether it is the OG or not any help would be greatly appreciated.....
I haven't had either the OG or the reissue of Skull Snaps so I can't help you out but most Scorpio reissues/bootlegs seem to have those kinds of label details on the runoff grooves. For instance, this Fred Wesley "Breakin' Bread" reissue that I'm looking at right now has PE-6604 etched in the grooves.
the earliest pressings don't have the sticker printed on it. http://popsike.com/php/detaildata.php?itemnr=4841863860 they might have went back and put the stickers on after "its a new day" caught on. And subsequent pressings just had it printed on the front. This is just a guess though

The OG skull snaps is a machine printed run-out, kinda like a typewriter font. I believe the re-issues are more the handwritten style run out? no?

My reish does have a handwritten type etching in the runout groove but says: 3972 GSFS 1011 and 3972 GSFS 1011-1.
The time I saw a reissue of this it was BLINDINGLY obvious... like, sit any oldass record you have next to it and it would be really easy to tell the difference.
If the only reissue of this is the Scorp one, it should be an easy call to make. If you've seen/felt any of these reissues you know exactly what they are like.
Hey I thought the SKull Snaps OG was impossible to get cuz there were only a few pressings of the LP. Over the years like every other Holy Grail LP it gained popularity.So people had to settle for the re-issue.

It's nowhere near as hard to find as the Leo Sayer - Endless Flight LP with the Gangstarr "break"
Damn Leo Sayer records be poppin' up all over the "A". When I'm out diggin', every damn thrift, flea, Mom & pop record shops has at lease four a five copies for 99 cents.

but they both seem to sell as OG's for the same amount.
Sorry for the shameless self promotion, but ten12 is putting out its second 12-inch of the Skull Snaps (the only authorized). We put out Snapped in early 2006 and this month are dropping an inreleased extended mix of It's A New Day edited by Underdog with some re-interpretations by Steinski, Audible Doctor, and Discolobos.

My copy is too.
Another question. My Skull Snaps (like all OGs that I've seen) has the round "sticker " printed directly on the cover.
However, my mate swears he's seen one with an actual "sticker" on it.
What the dill?

1 with a sticker sleeve
1 with no gatefold
1 gatefold, which is glossy
the original is a matte gatefold and the record is thick...
peace.
ok thats the way this copy is...
