Right on - kudos on ya for doing it.

Mine isn't numbered and the sleeve is a bit jacked up. Always has me wanting one at some deep, wholly un-necessary level. Then i saw how much the reissues are going for nowadays (still so strange to me) and some part of me is tempted to unload all of those and get a numbered Mellon Collie.

Where'd you get it? What'd it set you back?

i bought a bootleg. the beginning of porcelina was wonked up iirc.

then i sold it cause i thought vinyl was a waste of money/time. but now i'm collecting again but also poorer

back in those days i also got a TAFH reissue for like...1/3 the price or something really good. sold that off too.

i believe unnumbered is rarer than numbered.
and they corrected one side on the repressing.

what correction(s) did it have?

and do you know how to typically tell if an unnumbered is an official or a boot? i have one unnumbered, i assumed was real, but not really sure since it was 2nd hand...

official unnumbered has an empty white box for the number: https://www.discogs.com/release/5976...finite-Sadness

correction was side C, i believe.

bootlegs don't have the white box, and come in many different colours vinyl.

Blank white box. Got it on discogs. Paid 550. Absolutely had to jump on it for that price, expecially considering what I sold the reissue for. Sleeve has a couple dings but it's 25 years old. Not worried about it. Sounds incredible.

It was a major fuckup IMO that the reissue didn't replicate the original 3xLP otherwise I would have kept it.

The guy said he was selling it to fund some home repairs he needed done and I've been there before. Recently sold a cassette box set for about 100 under it's current street value just because I needed some cash in a pinch.

Guy has other OG SP pressings in his collection and at one point wondered if he was a Netphorian lol

Crazier things have happened. He said he wasn't the original owner.

I absolutely love how the sides are broken down into themes. Who the fuck wants to listen to MCIS fully in 2022?

But a nice 20 minute bite based on a theme?

oh cool, easy. i thought you meant there were boots replicating the blank white box of the unnumbered version, but yes mine has the blank white box on the front.

if the side c correction resulted in more audio content area on the vinyl (since it runs closer to the label) then you would assume it is of higher quality somewhat. at the very least, it would be more resistant to skipping with grooves that are spaced further apart.
