should I buy these?


Recommended Posts

I haven't heard anything about another Pinkerton repress recently; print this out and take it to the store to see if you can identify which one it is:

release history - identifying the various Pinkerton vinyl LP issues.

1996 USA - original. 5000 pressed. Cardboard matte on exterior, glossy on interior. inner sleeve has black and white map and the studio photos as used in CD booklet. ID: dgc-25007.

1996 UK - note: this edition is not confirmed to exist! - reportedly seen on sale in UK in '96 at non-import price. no photos known.

1996 Japan - note: this edition is not confirmed to exist! - no info nor photos known.

2001 Japan reissue - this edition includes the 'map/photos' inner sleeve. No other info is known, presumably it says made in Japan on the back cover somewhere. Label unknown.

2002 Europe Reissue note: this edition is not confirmed to exist! - no photos known. If exists, would be like the Blue album one, sealed with the "Universal Masters vinyl reissue" sticker, made in the EU.

UNKNOWN EDITION: 2002 reissue - Unknown if a USA edition or an import. This is the one originally thought to be a bootleg, but turned out to be legitimately ordered from distributors. It appears to have been modeled after the original USA edition from 1996. Its label says DGC and Geffen Records [similar to the 2002 '6/4 songs' Blue album edition]. ID: dgc-25007 425 007-1. This edition DOES have a barcode, #20642 50071 - same as the '96 original. The main identifying factor is that the spine of the record cover does NOT have any writing on it [whereas the original says "weezer - pinkerton"]. Also the inner sleeve is a plain white sleeve, not the 'map/photos' sleeve of the original.
