I also had a test for Strife "My Fire Burns On" that I sold to the same guy, also for cheap. I was new to record collecting at the time and it seemed like I was getting a lot of money. Oh well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22565283.post-41423926934912000942012-12-18T13:38:45.914-05:002012-12-18T13:38:45.914-05:00Yeah, Taang just reissued DYS and FU's 'Ki...Yeah, Taang just reissued DYS and FU's 'Kill For Christ' on color. I was tempted myself, but then I thought better of it. The way i see it, with vinyl being popular again, any half sought after record is being reissued (probably on several variants). I figure the majority of reissues are intended for people who weren't around, or never bought the originals, and given that I have originals then these reissues just feel like a cash drain for something I don't strongly want. I was more feeling that i SHOULD buy them but in reality I didn't want to. So I decided to draw a line.<br /><br />At first I liked buying reissues and repressings, but there are just too many. As an example though, I was bummed to miss the red vinyl of the Underdog discography at the time, but now I am glad as I feel I have no need for it at all. From what I hear though, some people got tricked into buying three copies! ;o)mcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10219294514122164205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22565283.post-51832651307338882132012-12-17T17:51:15.790-05:002012-12-17T17:51:15.790-05:00I'm starting to agree with that myself.

I was thinking about picking it up, but then decided to save my money and put it towards an original pressing.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975324094301949169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22565283.post-67048155481785375222012-12-17T17:10:24.598-05:002012-12-17T17:10:24.598-05:00I've made an executive decision lately.

Things like this are only worth owning if you don't have any of the original records. But if you don't have the original records, you should hunt them down, not buy some lazy ass repress.mcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10219294514122164205noreply@blogger.com
