Great sonics on this copy. Agree with person blow can really hear JM guitar. Worry with recent repress is its just like cd
-
I’ve got 2 copies of this. One of them has light green labels and Rough Trade is stenciled. The cream titles also have slightly mint colored tint to them. Anyone know anything about this? -
I can't really see a major difference in colour between the two supposed different variations ?
This one doesn't look "Cream" and the other one doesn't look "Grey" they both look the same colour with maybe just a shade or two difference between the two ! -
I have a copy with the RT 'stamp' on side 1 but cursive lettering on side 2. I can't see any listing for this. Anyone have any info?
-
Isn't "This Charming Man" on this record? that's my fav song and wiki says it's on it
-
does anyone know which is the best pressing on vinyl?
so many heard and they are flat and thin and cold - brrrrr... -
I have this on yellow, and i suspect it is a bootleg. no barcode, no inner sleeve. can anyone confirm? -
I have this exact same copy: cursive logo, a1/b1 matrices, however all of the colour on the label are reversed (so burgundy label with grey/white writing) I can't find out anything about it anywhere?!
