Smashing Pumpkins

pretty sure the gish in question was a pressing on caroline (USA) in 2000.

 

there were two HUT (UK) pressings. One in 1991, the other in 1994.

 

The newest remaster that was released a couple years ago has a foil gatefold jacket and was put out by EMI/Virgin

 

 

why do you think this one is from 2000?

Source? For both claims?

To my knowledge, Gish wasnt pressed in the US until 2000 and nothing was ever remastered until 2011.

 

I was going by Discogs but I could be completely wrong..

yup. those are the exact same releases. there is no copyright or date anywhere on the sleeve or inner sleeve, so someone just assumed it was released in 1991 and put it up on discogs.

well that explains a lot!!!

 

thank you.  a friend and I were like fucking detectives last night trying to figure out how to tell the difference..

 

someone should just delete that prior listing to not confuse people further.

 

are those Hut releases harder to find ?

I got one in Japan.  but now I am thinking about keeping the UK version and getting rid of the repress.

I don't understand..

the matrix almost never matches the barcode.  or am I misunderstanding it?  what am I matching?

the matrix matches what discogs says ..  (is this what you mean?)

 

Match the matrix and barcode with what is on discogs.

The matrix and barcode info you posted matches the 2000 pressing.

I see.

 

but the problem was there was only a matrix on one of the listings.

 

but I found out that it's a duplicate submission anyway..  1991 US pressing doesn't exist.

thanks anyway..

Sorry for the image intensive post! Bee* warned!

 

I'm about halfway through the album, and it sounds amazing. The bass is more pronounced, which adds a lot of weight to the electronic elements throughout. It sounds very refreshing, and beautiful. The actual record is super thick and heavy, which is the first thing I noticed before even opening the package. Very heavy, and sturdy vinyl and packaging. The cover is the same reflective glossy you've seen on all of the other re-releases. Very nice, but definitely a fingerprint magnet, lol. Turn the page, you wash ya hands. Turn the page, you wash ya hands. And then you turn the page, and then you wash your hands.
