Newban OG check
![davesrecords](https://www.soulstrut.com/2015/assets/img/anon.gif)
I know these og checks are getting sort of tired, but I want to confirm I just got a n original copy (first lp). Does someone have off hand the matrix number on the original. For instance, is it written or is it stamped on there ? GNS whatever. wasn't there a japanese reissue or japanese boot or something awhile back? I'm afraid I dropped a lot on a reissue. Got two copies one the matrix is stamped on there and one is hand written. one has very little space in the run off and one has a lot of space. The one that is stamped was sealed real tight, had ringwear and a cut corner. that usually tells me original, it also has that funky smell. unless of course there was a japanese boot or something back in the 80s...or unless it was resealed or something.damn why do they have to make these represses so similiar ?!

thanks. if you could check your copy that would be rad.
can you confirm that there is a bootleg or something of this ? remember hearing about one with lesser sound quality a while back...

Not sure what the boot/reish looks like that came out a year or two ago, Just checked Newban and it has G N S 36004 AS -1A stamped in the run out groove if that helps, compared it to a few other releases that i could find like Mad Cliff, Black Heart and the stamp is identical
