derrickcook19941 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Just picked up a reddish orange copy of their self titled, and it sounds great plus when the records held up to light, it looks just like the planet behind the topless chick on the bike. its on ebay right now i think for like $50 buy it now, pick one up if you get the chance!

derrickcook19941 Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 I have that too but the weird color of this one plus the unique album art got me, I ended up snagging my bootleg for $25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I hate the bootleg. I really wish to someday get the original pressing on mans ruin and the bootlegs just make the process annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original is black or blue with certain matrix #s easily identified... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pain in the ass to always weave through tons of boots when you're trying to get a legit original. albert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk yeah having an original would be killed but for me it's more about get its on a cool color and sounds decent so I'm happy hahs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nothingnatural Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Doesn't say if it does not dies, sorry. But ok I think I have the official one then. The OG green is very hard to come by as there is only 198 copies pressed. How much did you pay for it? If you didn't spend a small fortune, chances are that it's a bootleg as there is TONS of them on the market. Discogs has all the info you need: COUNTERFEITS: This album has been heavily bootlegged since 2003. All counterfeits also issued in a gatefold sleeve. Differences can be determined by looking at the gatefold sleeve (see image) or the runout-groove etchings. Original copies have the MR-151-A on one side of the runout at the 6 o'clock position and L-50953 at the 12 o'clock position. Some bootleg copies have no run-out groove etchings at all. Other bootleg versions have "MR-151-A/L-50953" written all together on side A and "MR-151-A/L-50953X" on side B. http://www.discogs.com/Queens-Of-The-Stone-Age-Queens-Of-The-Stone-Age/release/1791380 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
