Lemana

This bootleg is hot garbage and those who created it should be punished.

Gabar

My hears were raped by piece of s**t... Looks like the original but sounds very very bad . the distortion is horrible . Be careful when you want buy a reissue of this album... this one is unlistenable !

Djang

Well you did buy a bootleg you know that right?

I love Mercedes

I agree. Very convincing looking, you can only really tell because the lyric sheets are scanned and a bit blurry (look for the fine lines in the various record company logos) and there are no matrix numbers in the runout grooves.

Faegal

On the original of 1994 are there also no matrix numbers? I heard that , dont know if that is treu, i have the same problem dont know if i have the orriginal..

Zonama

So I have been trying to figure out whether this black vinyl set is a reissue or an original. I have no real reason to believe it is the reissue listed as a 2013 unofficial release, especially because of where I got it, but I am curious if an actual 1994, black, made in the EU version exists. Does anyone know? If so, are there any distinguishing differences between the 1994 and the 2013? I will say this -- it sounds fantastic, like listening to this album for the first time. And it's a darn good album.

Pruster

I have the same problem, i dont really know if i have an original or a unofficial from 2013. Mine has no matrix numbers on the vinyl, but what i red is that the original also has no matrix numbers...Do you already know more about it?

Quinthy

Well, the original EU pressing is now 21 years old, so chances are there are signs of age on the jacket, namely discolouration of the jacket edges (like how books "yellow" over time). If it looks new then it probably is.I have the original EU pressing and it sounds lush, clear instrument separation, good dynamic range, punchy bass, full bodied drums, vocals so crisp to point of being a bit sharp at times, but not overly so. Never selling this!

6snake6

This is a piece of crap. It is a vinyl created from a digitized copy, and the gain on the vocals is so high it distorts. Avoid at all costs. Be careful when you are buying online, as you might be getting this crap copy when you think you are getting the LTD colored discs. Stick to the colored discs, make sure you are getting those and not the black vinyl.

Flower

I also got stung buying this piece of shit. It sounds absolutely terrible! Looks very convincing though. The records themselves have no matrix codes at all. This might be the only way to identify this... along with the fact that it sounds like superunknown through a tin can.
