Vs Lp - US 2nd Pressing?

[bu$hleaguer]

I found a Vs album that doesn't match any of the others I've seen. It looks like the normal US pressing (Z 53136) but with a few differences. I first noticed it when I was comparing the printing on the spine. "Epic Associated Stereo" is printed lower than the rest of my copies of the US pressing and the barcode is different with some of the lines extending further than the rest.





It is sealed so I don't know what the vinyl is like. Does anyone else have a copy like this? Could it be a second US pressing?

uhm,interesting...
i ve only 2copies, promo and regular...both sealed...they seem the same press, in epic logo position on spine and in lines's barcode...

it could be a second press cause i think in '93 lps are more present and sold in stores...but in meantime, it could be only some little difference(..."mistake"..?) during vinyl's production...it can happen...
if we don't have an opened copy, we can't be sure..
btw...always interesting observations,Sam...and great job with vinyl's pics...i think they're nice..

[Frank Gibson]

don't know
i will check mine but maybe only a little difference during the production

[Frank Gibson]

I have the upper version and the barcode is with no line extending so i think there are two usa different version


ps I have also a TEN SIMLY VINYL 180 gr with different sticker from your ....no 180 written on it ...don't know why

[Megadave]

yeah...my 2 copies are with short barcode lines...but promo sticker it's an obstacle.....i think it's still hard to say that it's true 2nd press...we must wait for an opened copy in future...

....strange 180gr missed on sticker...but on this version,Frank, do u have a simple vinyl circular sticker on back cover too?

[Frank Gibson]

no the sticker is the same ....the silver rectangular one with nearly the same things written on...except the "180 gr."

[Frank Gibson]

the last thing ...the mistake in the name of mccreedy is also in my copy ...i think all of them are in this way

Frank, is your 180gr in a custom Simply Vinyl plastic sleeve (embossed logo)? It seems that my copy is missing the round sticker on the back (I can still see the sticker residue). Dave, maybe you can make a scan for the website.

I think the lower printed text on the spine could be a little misprint but the barcode label is new for me too. I have the other one like most of us here. But I wouldn't speak as a 2nd US copy. Buta nice find nevertheless.

Norman, the text on the spine is too drastic to be a misprint. I have several copies of the US pressing (promo and regular) and the text on the spine lines up almost exactly, except for this copy. Plus, with a different barcode this CANNOT be a printing error. Unless this was made in another country using the same catalog number (Canada?), I think this must be a US reissue.

[norman-grunge]

Maybe you are right Sam. It's not easy to say if it is a reissue or a üressing from a different county. The barcode of the Brazilian VS LP looks pretty the same but it hasn't the full Brazlian catalog number. Maybe it's a Canadian issue with the imprint Made in the US?

I only have the short barcode version, can't help..

Yes Sam...we understand each other with just one word..the simply vinyl sticker close his plastic sleeve...i'll add a scan of back cover with simply vinyl sticker...(i want complete MLB vinyls too but work,ill and no freetime don't help me in these days..)
about Vs...Sam...for the moment i think u can add a scan of the other barcode and different epic logo position to Vs usa with an info note...

and Sam, can u tell me something about Ten and Vs korea...do u have noticed sometinhg in our scans about these 2vinyls??
