cuz when youre spending about a dub on a record, you might as well get the BEST one, as long as its in good condition, no scratches, and sounds cool, im down... id also rather have a repress by the actual label that released it, than some bootleg copy that some random hustler pressed up... bootlegging with hiphop lps is alot bigger than you think it is, extremely lucrative also! most bootlegs of classic lps cost $20 or so by the time it hits the customer in the store! id rather not support bootleggers for the most part, unless i cant get the record i want any other way, sometimes bootlegs are the only way to get something you want on wax... not to mention SOME bootlegs actually sound better than the original pressing if the person who has it pressed actually knows what the flowers they're doing... ive bought bootleg records that were ALL defective, they ALL skipped straight out the wrapper, i tried MULTIPLE COPIES of the same lp and they were ALL bad! ive also had some official re-releases have this same problem as the bootlegs did! records usually suck when they use a cd master and dont try to remaster it to wax(especially when someone pauses the damn track during the dumping/recording processes! YES ive actually found records that have this careless azz error in them, NUMEROUS COPIES OF THE SAME RECORD, ALL BRAND FUKN NEW!) ... even some original records sound like chit because they play at such a low volume, its usually records that were originally pressed on SINGLE vinyl when there are a lot of tracks that they squeezed onto em before they started releasing most decent length lps on double vinyl "for the dj"...
oh and...
i DID have that tape back when it dropped... and im pretty sure back in '89 there was an original LP RELEASE for Paul's Boutique when it dropped... thanks for trying though
