Some people are collectors, some people are fans, others are just occasional listeners and buyers. Not everyone is a collector, but as far as I know, this is a collector's forum (hence - Vinyl COLLECTIVE). You should go to a fan forum and talk to people who don't care about these things.

I don't think you know what collective means, guy.

I'll take the hit for posting this.....

These ARE NOT variants to be worried about! Everybody has a collector mentality and its dumb...

Since the beginning albums have had to be repressed due to demand, and/or just the sheer amount they pressed had to be done in waves.

Look at any other Bowie album though out his career...granted some may be better quality than others when you take into account the questionable 'remasters' they push out now, or old budget line presses... but are people really so concerned whether their copy of Hunky Dory came out in March of '71 or five months later in August of '71 or February of '72? No, because they are virtually indistinguishable save maybe some 'number' somewhere on it.

Just like Blackstar now, if you give a fuck whether you're copy was printed 7 months ago, or 3 weeks ago with differences you'd have to search over the entire release with a magnifying glass and use scale to find. You suck.

This album will be in print for some time now, which is good... that matters, not a couple numbers on the cover or record label!

Great.

So if you could post a list of your entire record collection with release dates and matrix numbers, I'll have a skim through and swap any valuable first presses you may have for recent reissues okay? Cool. PM me

Believe it or not, but there's people here who buy records to listen to them. Crazy, right? Besides that, I'd be okay with you taking your passive aggressive bullshit to your collector's collective and leave it there.
