borf Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Ok the original release of Mellon Collie was supposed to be only 5,000 but they actually pressed something like 15000-18000 numbered copies out on Hut(UK) and Virgin records (US). Then it got repressed in 1998 with unnumbered copies that have flimsier covers. I keep seeing this 3lp set pop up on ebay with new colors like every fuckin month i feel like. At first I thought they only did black, then i saw some yellows in there, and now theres red copies up for sale. Im assuming all these are unnumbered mystery represses?? The one thats up now is on the Hut label. Anybody know whats up with these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodooramen Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 From what I gathered, the colors that have been popping up are supposed boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manicdogbert Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 the colored vinyl presses are bootlegs. also, Melon Collie was only ever released on vinyl in the UK. there was never a US pressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodooramen Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Yeah, is there really any solid pressing info then besides the numbered ones? Honestly, if the boots are high quality, though I doubt anyone here could verify, and it was at a cheap ($20) price, I would pick one up just because I love the album and would never pay over $200 for a real one.
