Seriously need help finding out what pressing this is

[omfgnicholas]

So a few days ago, I bought Minus the Bear's "Highly Refined Pirates" on black vinyl off eBay

The auction listing said "2002 - Suicide Squeeze". I bought it instantly because of the price, thinking it was an original first press. But the more I look into it, the more I'm thinking it isn't the first press.

Dead format says it was put out by Suicide Squeeze/Lucky Horse.

Mine has no trace of Lucky Horse anywhere on the sleeve/record.

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

Spine says S-021.

You got ripped off dude. Fifth press, homie. It says this on dead format btw.

You can also tell by the A/B labels. If the tracklisting is written in a circle, it's the first press; if it's written line-by-line, it's a repress.

the one you bought sounds better. that helps, right?

If you paid more than $20 for it, you were ripped off. Technically if you paid more than like $15 you were ripped off but since I've definitely seen this retail for approximately 20 you should be good. Then again, I'm not sure how scarce the black variant of the recent press is. If color is no issue to you then you could have certainly gotten it for under 20. If the press matters to you then technically you were ripped off if it was misrepresented as a first press.
