The Mighty Chevelles: Black Gold Lp

Posted

Hi everybody,

again a question from me how to identify a reissue and the repress.

I pulled out my Mighty Chevelles Lp and I'm not sure is it the original or the repress?

The cover looks old fashion made but it's pretty clean. The deadwax number is AR-9917.

I know there are reissues with FA-018 but I think there are also repressings with AR-9917.

What is the best way to find out if it's the first/original press?

Thanks Tim

P.S.....what a mighty record! :thumbsup:

Pretty sure the re-issue is heavy card and brown on the inside, mine was (sold it) i was told the the sleeves were original and the vinyl was repressed for the re-issues

yeah my repress looks just like an original, interesting if the sleeves are original

Bob what`s the run out on your copy?Hopefully this will help collectors in the future.
