supafly Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Is there a way to tell the difference? Also has anyone compared the sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Good question. I keep waiting to find originals but maybe reissues are just okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I've got the 180 gram Slanted & Enchanted reissue and the low-priced super duper value reissue of Crooked Rain. They both sound good, they're pressed at RTI and both versions use the same plates so the mastering is the same on the 180 & 120 gram versions. The low-priced reissues do not include an insert, but the 180 gram ones do. I'm sure there are other minor differences, but for me the reissues get the job done just fine. So basically, if you see a standard-weight version that includes an insert, it's probably an original pressing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youspinmeround Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Sounds fine. How are the Sonic Youth reissues of the earlier albums versus the OG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntwolf Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I have an original pressing of Slanted & Enchanted and the 180g reissue. The original sounds great and the 180g reissue is fine, but didn't blow me away by being super-awesome or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
