porchlight Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I came across a couple old records on colored vinyl that I think are from Japan (pardon my ignorance though). Does anyone know anything about these? I googled the bejesus out of the thing and couldn't find any information. Any help would be appreciated. One is Simon and Garfunkel "Sounds of Silence" on Orange and the other is the Mamas and the Papas "Deliver" on Red. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefwahoo Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Is the Simon and Garfunkel LP on Columbia? Is the Mamas and Papas album on Dunhill? If so, they might be legit Japanese pressings and potentially worth a little money. But there are also plenty of korean(?) color vinyl pressings of albums that are cheaply done and worthless, if they are even legitimate. Pics would be helpful. If Google isn't getting you anywhere, I think it's all the more likely that they are unofficial pressings. Those are a couple of huge albums.

porchlight Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 Yeah it's not on either of the bands' respective labels, but it doesn't look Korean. I was trying to compare characters and couldn't find any that matched Korean. Here's a pic from my phone of the label on the record. http://twitpic.com/2blmhk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Official or not, I see them at record stores fairly often and always very cheap. I pick them up from time to time, I know I have an Everly Brothers one.

deafmx Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 this label has the same type of catalog numbers, just not this release listed. http://www.discogs.com/label/First+Records+%282%29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
