Collectors' F.A.Q.
Question
From Stan, New Jersey
On your price guide, namely your vinyl pricings, how can I
tell if a single is a re-issue or an original?
Chris Nilsen: If you are speaking
about the 7" Irish singles, most Irish originals will have
orange & yellow labels AND have "UKTM No.B81 8091"
printed on the right edge of the label after the copyright warning.
Copies without the UKTM No. are very likely reissues from Pac
1 or 2, as are the solid red label issues. Some exceptions would
be "Fire" and "A Celebration" which have
black labels on the originals, like the UK pressings. Original
Irish pressings are very tough to find, especially with all
of the reissues around.
