Keyscapeunit Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hi there, I'm relatively new to a return to vinyl (6 mos+), and this whole time I've been trying to figure out how to find a good copy of David Bowie's Hunky Dory that most closely resembles the original recording. I headed to Discogs and looked around in the 1971 LP releases, and it looks like folks are selling them between $30 - $50 (which is what I would expect... I bought a VG+ copy of Ziggy Stardust from the original year and it was comparable). So my question is this... is there a way to tell which pressings were done from original recordings? I'm not picky if it was from 1971 or not, but I'm at a loss to figure out how to find the differences between releases. My instinct is to find one at a reasonable price from one of the UK, Canadian, or US releases from 1971, but I'm not sure if this is the right way to do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Discogs is a good place to start. Often they list identifiers on there. That's how I usually figure out what pressing my stuff is. Catalog numbers and matrix etchings are the best identifiers most of the time.
