    some of those 70's joints printed on the white stock can be really hard to tell. I know this came up recently with POZ.

    i got snagged on a skull snaps reissue. It was with many many funk records from the 70's and it was mildewy and shit. I just grabbed in in the stack and made for teh counter.. got home and realized the errors of my haste.

    Electric Prunes -- release of an Oath

    In the groove merchant of all places.

    Sub question:
    ever buy a re-ish, not knowing its one at the store, take it home and find out, then pass it off to yourself as an og?

    There is a Lee Moses reish that had me excited for a sec. Paste on cover and thick heavy cardboard.

    FAT Funky & Tough reish is a dead ringer.

    Honestly? I would like to buy this re-ish...is it around? I've all but given up on finding an OG of this "in the field" anytime before my Social Security kicks in...did you buy it? If so, did it have good sound quality?

    I have been folled by reishes, but only on cheaper LP's, not too many holy grails (except for that damn deceptive Lee Fields I bought that became a two-page "OG check" thread!), just dumb shit like "Soul of the Bible" where I was all hasty and didn't even check because of the store/price. The worst is when you think "Oh, this can't be a reissue" because it's priced so high - only to find out it is! Definition of "not a good look."

    Bought a reissue of "Boxcar Sessions" by Saafir; didn't realize it was a repress until I was trying to sell it on eBay and somebody who wanted to bid on it mailed me asking if it was an original. Did a little research and found out it was a repress. That was a waste of $18; I only bought it because I thought it was original and I knew I could flip it for quite a bit more on eBay. Now, not only is it a repress but it sustained water damage when my basement flooded a year and a half ago so it's completely useless to me.

    Haha! Me, about 6 months ago:

    me: "yo, there's a Gary Wilson with a red cover?"

    friend: "nah, that's a later issue, worth maybe $30 tops."

    me: "pfffft. typical"

    Does there exist pre-1973 OGs with the white stock jackets? If so, what labels?

    yes. quite a few labels. Electra was doing them in the late 60's even.



    Antilles, motown related shit, electra related labels like nonesuch, MPS, ECM...

    It's crazy that that reish has been getting 30-50 bucks lately.

    I think my copy of The Controllers "In Control" is a repro, as it's got a flimsy white cardboard cover. After purchasing it, I found another one about a month later with a thick brown cardboard cover. I can't imagine why it was repro'd though, since it seems to be a fairly common (but good) album.

    re??is??sue Pronunciation (r-sh)
    v. re??is??sued, re??is??su??ing, re??is??sues
    v.tr.
    To issue again, especially to make available again.

    used in a sentence:

    bigspliff knew that the 3 dollar price tag of the one sided "hercules" 45 record was way too good to be true. it must be a reissue.

    I had a "Sealed" Grodeneck Whipperjenny in my hand at a show not too long ago. Dude wanted $150 bucks. I couldnt get him to verify it was OG or a reish boot. Didnt buy it. Was tempted, but had to pass.

    TONY AIKEN AND FUTURE 2000 "Unity" LP -- found at a great midwest record shop for $6 and had me feeling good until I got it home to find out that someone did an exact reissue (paste on slicks and all). If you look really close, you can see some computer pixilation.

    Me in a place where they sell 45s of Hercules? What you smoking? This is why I read soulstrut. If I ever find one, it will be og, VG, and covered in ratshit. Anything better's a bonus.

    he knew it was a reissue when faux rills called it a terd.
