Shitty Rambo Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Via user @adverseffect " Hello all, New to the vinyl world and hoping you could offer some input. I picked up a reissue of Sabotage by Black Sabbath on purple vinyl. I opened it and found a purple record but with a Technical Ecstasy label. I thought it was a mislabel and put it on to check. Turns out it actually is Technical Ecstasy. However, no reissues of Technical Ecstasy were supposed to be issued on purple vinyl, only white. Is there any collector value associated with something like this? Thanks. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gryphon Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 It looks like a mistake of some kind, someone at the factory has either go the wrong info or the info put out about the record was flawed leading to a mess up. In the days when labels pressed their own records this did happen but now records are pressed by a few contract pressing plants and if they get the wrong info or sleeves etc they are less worried, they just do as thet are asked, they don't always check it......This said this could become a collectors item in the future.

allenh Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 You'll soon see how big a mistake it is if it gets it's own Discogs listing. I would expect there will be a few of them because of the fact it made it out of the plant, if it were noticed at pressing the run would have been abandoned or destroyed before packing. I would assume it would have been a reasonable sized run but that run depends on how many the machine was set up to do and how rare it will be depends on how many get into the wild and stay there, as people take them back those returns and any on the shelves from that run will be returned to the label and destroyed or if it's a big number possibly repackaged with the correct sleeve and re issued as a limited run. Either way I'd hang on to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defchino11 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) Hardcore Bad Books/Kevin Devine/Andy Hull fans, this might be for you.... Recently dug up this Bad Books "I", well, BOOK, that was apparently made by the band for an original pre-order for the first album. It's literally a book that has been modified, pages cut out to fit the CD, etc (see pictures). I really like it and it's a great idea, but I cannot find ANY information on it anywhere....maybe it will have to be enough to know that I have it and it exists. Anyone else have one/heard of anyone that has one? I am really just curious as to how any others look, what books were used, etc. Edited December 8, 2016 by defchino11 twentytwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyckelJay Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) I ordered "Feel" by Sleeping With Sirens from BestBuy's website. It didn't have any info on it. When I opened the package, I discovered that the record was gold. Does anyone know the pressing info for this variant? I know it's a first pressing, but doe anyone know what it's limited to? I'm also looking to find out how many copies of "If You Were A Movie..." by SWS exist on orange vinyl (Hot Topic exclusive). I checked Discogs and DeadFormat, but I'm having no luck. Rise Records USUALLY releases most the pressing info for their vinyl releases on their site, but neither of these are listed. Any help is appreciated!

Velocity of Sound Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Discogs indicates the first pressing was in 2002, but like I said, I've seen people claim they own a 1999 pressing, but i find it HARD to believe if a 1999 pressing exists, nobody submitted it to Discogs in the 18 years?? The reason why i'm looking for answers is because I recently purchased what was described as a 2009 reissue test press. Upon receiving the test press, I noticed the runoff groove matrix numbers were NOT the same as any of the reissue pressings, 2009, 2011 or 2012. (I have made a Disgogs submission of the test press) The numbers on my test press are, Matrix / Runout (Side A): PIAS-9-RE-A 1-518653 -18950- Matrix / Runout (Side B): PIAS-9-RE-B 1-518653 -18950- Matrix / Runout (Side C): PIAS-9-RE-C -18951- 1-518653 Matrix / Runout (Dide D): PIAS-9-RE-D 1-518653 -18951- Here's the twist, the assumed first press on Discogs was released by PIAS, with the matrix numbers, Matrix / Runout (Side A): PIASA-9-A EUROPADISK DMM NY USA 62766 DON GROSSINGER Matrix / Runout (Side B): PIASA-9-B EUROPADISK DMM NY USA 62766 DON GROSSINGER Matrix / Runout (Side C): PIASA-9-C EUROPADISK DMM NY USA 62995 DON GROSSINGER Matrix / Runout (Side D): PIASA-9-D EUROPADISK DMM NY USA 62995 DON GROSSINGER Clearly the test press I own was made by PIAS, but why doesnt it have Don Grossinger's mark? Also, the RE- indicates that at some point a PIAS-9-A 1-518653 -18950- lacquer was cut, but then NOT approved and needed to be RE-cut. Im wondering what the pressing of The Soft Bulletin belongs to my test press??? As far as I know, PIAS only released one pressing of Soft Bulletin, but at the very least, two different test presses exist. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Calamabama Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hi, first time poster here. I'll be honest I don't have too much to do with vinyl either for clothing or for listening to but I recently found a 52 disc collection of old Edison Diamond Discs in my barn. Not going to ask about pricing since it's all subjective but I was wondering where the best place to sell these was. Is it still Ebay or should I spend time exploring Discogs or somewhere else? I also am wondering if it is best to sell individually or as a lot. I'm not looking to squeeze every last penny out of them but at the same time don't want someone telling stories about how they picked up $1,000,000 worth of stuff for $0.75. I'd also like them to move quickly so they're not taking up valuable house space. Thanks for any help however undeserving I may be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if any of them are entered on Discogs, check the number of folks that "want" it. Might be a good gauge of the interest over there. Also...

But whether it's self-released or a bootleg, that's definitely a cool little piece to add to your collection. I would just make a release page for it on Discogs, give it some time, and see if anyone else adds it to their collection. If somebody does, you could DM from there and see if they have any more information on it. Good luck!

toomanyrecords Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I just found The Naked and Famous - Passive Me Aggressive You used and I'm super confused. There's a pic disk version of this, and then a black vinyl version. Mine has this pink screenprinted type design on the b-side, but the b-side still plays music ... except when the needle goes over the screenprint the music is just noise and it's unlistenable. Any idea what this is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faaip de oiad Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Hello VC! I have a question about a Pearl Jam Ten album. It's a yellow variant. European pressing from 2007. Epic – 88697159541, Sony BMG Music Entertainment – 88697159541 Does anyone know what pressing plant it comes from or where it was pressed exactly? I just found a good deal on discogs for €20. And €15 shipping. Thx! ~Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faaip de oiad Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) Oh well, looks like its gone now... Anyway I don't recall a Pearl Jam being pressed in 2007.

underwaterzoo Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I'm trying to figure out which pressing I have for Neck Deep's Wishful Thinking. I've checked Discogs and none of the photos match what my variant looks like. I checked deadformat and none of the descriptions really match either. The only one I've seen a similar photo of on deadformat has it listed as yellow/purple smash, which does not match the Discogs page or the record itself. This is what mine looks like. It's like a deep reddish/pinkish color. This one is the only other photo I've been able to find that's similar, but the color is quite a bit more purple. The deadformat pressing info doesn't really help as far as descriptions: Hopeless Records also has a lack of release info on their site and I can't find anyone to contact from them either. If anyone knows anything, that would be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
