Is there a reason the reissue of this on clear is preferred over the OG? I know it’s “remastered” but was thE 1st press unlistenable for some reason?

Barring serious quality issues, I prefer to collect the 1st press. If there are OGs flooding the market, maybe I’ll snag one while I can.

The “first press” was a Rhino reissue in 2010 - no vinyl in ‘93 that I’m aware of. No great shakes there, aside from the RTI manufacturer. Certainly not enough to tag it for over $100, particularly when it’s Rhino doing it again at 1/5th the price. Originals are dropping, only in the sense that they sat at $120+ for quite awhile. The last reissues of ND and even the ND outtakes were solid, so I’m feeling pretty good about this.

Was Anodyne recorded to tape? I wonder what the status is on the master.

It's a 12" EP. Only 4 tracks it seems. I'm in the same boat as you. Already out of storage space and I won't spin a 4 track album enough.

EDIT: I was looking at the wrong thing, it's only $15... but I'm leaving in Wayne.

Yeah, $30+ for a 4 track EP?

I hate how good it sounds, though.

Wish I'd known this would happen. Could have saved $15. Oh well, if anyone deserves my money, it's the Sad.

Price is my reason. I don't have any desire to own original presses vs. represses. I'm in it for the music alone and I'm no audiophile so unless a repress is very bad, I'll go with the more economical option. I'd rather pay 20 for an Anodyne repress than $70+ for an OG pressing.

No shade to those who feel/collect differently.

No shade perceived.
My rationale is typically "I have this on CD and a digital version" do I really NEED a color Vinyl/reissue copy - Answer No. But an OG Vinyl copy of one of my favorite albums....that might be a different answer.

But I would rather pay $20 too. Maybe the reissue will drive down the market price enough to make me pull out the credit card.

Thanks.

But they're both reissues. There isn't an original press. Might even be a repress of the same plates. We'll see.

Well - that's an argument that might sway me towards a purchase. Thanks @Corycm
