The re-release
much appreciated diggler for authenticating the OG! i was surprised that seller on Ebay is selling the re-release for $119.99
The re-release is just as old and rare as the OG. It's not a recent re-release. It's like. A lot of times re-release are just as or equally as rare as the OG, so the seller isn't necessarily wrong to ask just as much for the re-release. I have both versions in my collection, but I feel that each is equally as rare. I guess that it comes down to the buyers preference. I would agree if it was recently re-released, but it wasn't. That re-release been around just as long as the OG. Marv, I know that you didn't make a stance on this...I was just stating my opinion and lending an extra opinion on the matter. No pun intended. I know that you understand.
This is the same for Kut-N-Kru's - When I roll CD. A lot of versions came out the same year, but heck...it all depends on the buyers taste. A lot of people don't know that Pure Devocion repressed that album at least 10 times in that first year. I have 4 know versions of that album and all are equally as old and rare to me, but hey the choice is yours. To me as a seller, I'm going to sell them the same. I just thought that I would mention that, because re-releases aren't such a bad thing unless these pressings came out years later. That's my opinion though.
I personally like to have all versions of an album. This way I know what I'm talking about.
