he should have said more than "RE" right?
its not a great listing but you should always ask before bidding if something seems questionable.
and also on discogs...there is an original 12" for "Sweet Power"!!! that must be soooo rare
yeah, i see this in a lot of auctions, but they tend to include "unless otherwise marked" or something IN CASE they sell a re-issue. if it said that it would be a lot less questionable.
Technically it isn't a "current reissue". To me a current reissue implies in print.
Its out of print, just like the OG. So its vintage nonetheless, just not as vintage as the OG.
Besides, theres a pic so buyer knows exactly what he/shes getting.
lol.
Pearson's always answered any questions I've had quick fast.
I'm sure if anyone asked if this was a boot/reissue he would've said so.
Not sure why everyone is up in arms about this. Stupid people are all over the internet. Regular shit.
I'm with you here , if a buyer is actual thick enough to bid that much money and not realize it's a reissue with the information given (RE in name of auction) or without asking the seller first, it is kind of their own fault.
reputable seller that has sold thousands of raers(they get more for their auctions anyway due to reputation)

2 short attention span havin, raer-blinded, bidders

loot for reissue
nobody is up in arms...i sure as hell wouldn't have bid on it.
i would have left my "we only sell original pressings" tagline out of this particular auction and would have said it was a reissue in the auction listing just to cover my ass. he's gonna have an unhappy bidder when they get the record...don't you think?

YOUR LIED
"I am the OG. Batches."
NOW WAA ME UUUUUUUUUUU!
Yea, I alwsy look for the "RE". You can't expect people to plaster "hey in case your high and overly excited I just want to remind you that this is a re-issue from the last 90's which is why it still far to say that it is not a current re-issue"
AP does no wrong!
was also reissued in the uk on producein the 90's (label to do with the uk group 'the farm'). can't recall what the label looked like but i think it was silver without the chiaroscuro writing in white - the sleeve is a lighter cream, hasn't got the pitted cover, and has produce on the back. i think this may be that version? it was a legal reissue not a bootleg.
