1.Start off by looking at the cover. If it's very high-gloss (kinda slipery to the feel and very shinny) then it's definitely a reissue.
2.Check the inner jacket: if it's dark grey cardboard it's definitely an OG. Otherwise if its white you got a reissue on your hands.
3. Smell it, if it smells old and maybe even a little moldy once again you have an OG.
4. Last but not least , check the writing on the cover and labels. Sometimes if it's a lil blurry it's because it's a repress (this is very common with Polydor reissues and sometime other labels like ABC). If you see the © symbol but it has the "P"(with a circle arround which means Printed) and the year of the print is not 76 or 77 than you have a repress.

i think it must be a reissue. its in great condition and the inner sleeve is whitish. i dont see the copyright symbol or the p but its just feels newish. I dont know but i got it for free so i think its a decent come up

someone must have changed it or put it in the wrong cover,

check the label aswell they put the date there sometimes.

on all ot his records too if it's flimzy vinyl it's mostly arissue the thicker teh vinyl the more OG,

thats another thing to check too when diggin check the records insdie to see it matches the cover.

find out too,if it wasnt made inthe 80's in the 80's the switched the covers and started using white covers that would fade to yellowish. he did make some music inthe 80's it could be one of those albums.
