G.U.N. - XIV Till Eternity pressings

[Lil' Bear]

Hello Siccness! I'm new here but I've been browsing the forums for a while. I noticed that there's a lot of knowledge regarding album pressings here, so I'd like to ask about G.U.N. album pressings. I've seen at least three different editions with the following attributes:

1. Red jewel case tray, CD with red star, no barcode
2. Red jewel case tray, pressed CD-R with black star, barcode
3. Black jewel case tray, CD with black star, barcode

I'm pretty sure there's a red tray, red star CD with barcode too. I have the CD-R version mentioned above. Can someone share info about there different editions?

You should post this in the East Coco forum you'll get a better response. The only one i've seen is a red tray cd-r that they sell at flea markets and I'm 99% sure its just a bootleg made on some dudes computer not a real pressing.

 

[Lil' Bear]

Coo, thanks. Can the mods move this thread over there?

 

[suspect#1]

I had the OG press of that at one point. It had a red star on the cd itself

[Lil' Bear]

Thanks for the tip! I checked the Gangland episode 'Blood In, Blood Out' and there's a little info regarding G.U.N. around 29:00 mark.

Red Star / Red Case is OG Pressing

 

[Lil' Bear]

Makes sense as it has no barcode. By adding one North Star Records was able to expand their distribution after the CD started gaining popularity - I guess bigger record store chains required (and still do?) a barcode for SoundScan etc.

Well there is 1 with the barcode, red star and red tray. Even tho maybe without the barcode is OG, if it got everything else mentioned. I have also seen it with a black tray and I think with no barcode, which I find suspect due to the time I've started seeing those. This is the only other time I've seen 1 with a black star mentioned. The only other time I think was with someone years ago, even when real cd's were being sold at stores that were still willing to carry G.U.N.. I too suspect that it must be a bootleg regardless.

Code on the Ring of the OG CD is : 0102X39 20-01450

Code on the Ring of the OG CD is : 0102X39 20-01450

Is that in a red tray, without a barcode?

conspiracy theory: that la eme owned the printing company and sent copies to the FBI. and marked it.......

I remember getting this cd from that dude huero personally then buying another copy at sam goody when it was at the mall in Modesto. They didn't have the cd's displayed in the store you had to go up to the register and ask for the cd and they had a brown box on the floor with the G.U.N. Cd's inside.

 

[aridan3at]

So what do I have? I got the red tray, red star, red border insert, with barcode. But code on the CD silver ring RO49-1707-4288. and the code on the CD clear plastic ring 4342B2523 06104 20.
Also my insert is a matte paper, not glossy. Is that the actual insert?

 

[gucecity]
