guyremix Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Excited for this box set! Got a question if anyone can help, is it easy to identify a copy of the original LP to the bootleg one that's been doing the rounds? I ordered this album recently but wasn't aware that there was also a counterfeit one until today & now i'm worried i'll end up with the bootleg!

fondfarewell Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I think there are black bootlegs too. If I recall correctly, the original had a printed inner sleeve and the jacket is on white cardstock (bootlegs on brown). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Why would you think that? Because there is no information what the sources for these are. It can only mean one thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderland77 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I would also wait for a while if I were you...I've contacted New On Vinyl and they assume that there will be approx. 2,000 copies of the box set. rather an assumption than a confirmation though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I think there are black bootlegs too. If I recall correctly, the original had a printed inner sleeve and the jacket is on white cardstock (bootlegs on brown). The original had no inner (well the US Astralwerks pressing) and the cardstock is white/grey/recycled board. And maybe it came with a sticker? Or possibly I got a promo sticker and just tossed it in the sleeve to keep it somewhere because there is a sticker in mine of the album cover.

Chuck Shivers Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I think the originals have a glossy cover and the boots have a matte cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Yeah there is some gloss on the original. It's not high gloss, but some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jermainejagger Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Been waiting for these reissues to happen forever!so happy they are, its like a dream come true considering how much originals go for!! Ive even contacted them before asking if reissues will happen and here they are! I doubt they'll be mastered from cds considering these are by the actual label&air, so should be as good as the originals since no "remastering"has been mentioned! Cant wait to preorder from a US site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andables Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 i could listen to "Ce Matin La" on repeat for a bagillion years. already own moon safari, but i am excited to get the others at a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jermainejagger Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Just read that the pocket symphony reissue will be on white vinyl again just like the original was!thank goodness i didnt try buying the original off ebay when bidding soared to almost 50bucks! I hope these reissues are decently priced in the US like the rsd 7" was... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 ::sigh:: I love when new collectors complain about $50 oop records. Takes me back to a simpler time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jermainejagger Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Lol ive been collecting&admiring records prob since my early teens,so thats over a decade of years.. theres just a price point i refuse to cross, unless its super rare or my budget gets bigger,just because a reseller&buyers with higher budgets dictate a value haha. Thankfully decent reissues/represses are happening again&ppl who love music on physical formats, but live within budgets, dont have to spend 50+ on 1(used)record but thats a different topic~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how records are now basically beyond the price point that CDs were when everyone was saying how incredibly expensive they were in the 80s/90s ($19.99 or so).

For real. Keep in mind though, the dollar was "worth more" in the 90s. The U.S. was King Shit on turd mountain back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsgoodtobefree Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Amazon US preorder for the box set up: http://www.amazon.com/Virgin-Suicides-15th-Anniversary-Boxset/dp/B00W85Y1C8/ref=sr_1_8?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1431060885&sr=1-8&keywords=air I assume the price will go down.

LeeKaye Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Most I paid for a record is 250 quid. (380-400 USD?) You can now get it for 5 pounds. Not been repressed or anything, just that's how it is. It's an obscure techno white label if you were wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTacoMunster Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 ouch. I really hope there is just a vinyl option, either LP or 2xLP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
