Title: Need some Vinyl help
Post by: younggunner on February 13, 2016, 03:55:59 PM
Im looking to buy the original AFD vinyl (both covers) and Live Like A Suicide vinyl.



Can someone let me know how I can tell the difference between an original printing and a reprint?

Appreciate the insight, thanks.

Are you looking for sealed versions of these records?

Yes, I am looking for sealed versions.

Just not sure what I should be looking for in terms of original pressing, etc.

Well for Live Like A Suicide it is quite difficult.  My advice is to try to buy from a trusted seller.  Very hard to tell a genuine from a fake.  A guide was posted in this thread:

In case that doesn't work the actual guide can be found here:

Not sure what else to say about LLAS.  The color vinyl ones you see are fake.  I have seen sealed ones of those.  You'll know because the price will be way low and there is usually a color dot sticker on it indicating the color of the vinyl inside. 

As for Appetite, the cross cover and the rape cover were both original pressings.  An original US cross cover pressing will look like this:

You see that oval sticker on the front?  You're gonna want that.  I highly doubt a bootlegger is going to go to the lengths to fake that.

An original US rape cover pressing will look like this:

Again the oval sticker. 

2nd US pressings looked like this:

http://www.troccolitm.com/appcensti.html?1163931196593

Notice that square sticker.  It mentions the movie The Deadpool which came out in 1988 so obviously it can't be a 1st pressing even though you will see it advertised as such on eBay.

I hope all this helps.  Any questions or concerns post 'em here

This is a great help, in particular for the Live Like A Suicide vinyl, as that is something I'm looking for myself.  Appreciate the posting of this info.....
