I just picked up _____ on vinyl!

brianlux

Got this one for $15.  The cover of mine is a bit rough and the vinyl is VG+, but not a bad price and one heck of a great record!

AB-1006 is the money one for Aja.  Some consider AA-1006 a first as well.  Both sound great though.  I have three copies of the AB and anytime I see one in a store, I buy it if it's in good condition.  I love this record.

its in great shape, however the cover was used as something to write on and became etched with what looks like some advanced math or something.... just in the center though.

How do I tell exactly which copy of Aja I have? This one is a bit confusing to me because the back of the artwork says AA 1006 from ABC 1977. No other record company information on the outside really. On the A side runout groove it says A/B and the B side says A/A. Looks to be another word that possibly begins with an R after that but can't really make it out.

Ah yes, that's a good pressing too.  However that record does not have Black Cow, Aja, I heard the news, etc.  The whole record is freakin fantastic.  But then again, I love the Dan.

(RE-3) or some other number after RE.

type as much of the most readable side runout info in the search box on discogs.

include all dashes and spaces.

it should bring up all pressings which have that info..... go through the versions there to see what matches closest to your copy.

here was the search I did at the record store....

Yes, that will tell you the plant.  But knowing whether it was the original lacquers vs the second set is defined by the AB vs the AA which is right on the label and the jacket.  I have not heard a difference from the pressing plant and all mine are from diff ones. 

pjpjpaul

Runout side A= AA 1006 RE 3
Runout side B= AB 1006 RE 3

Possibly this one?

That's considered a 'second pressing', but I wouldn't worry about it.  The AA's did not sound noticeably different from my experience.  If you have a clean, quiet copy, hang onto it.

Yeah that's what I figured. It does sound good but could use a decent cleaning. It's a great sounding record.

According to the notes on my entry, it said they raised the price by a dollar 2 weeks after intial pressing. These are differentiated by AB (first) and AA (raised price).

The Mars Volta-De-louse In The Comatorium…really nice set from VMP. Hoping he sound quality is on par with the packaging.

Snagged a signed copy of the new Velvet Underground and nico tribute album. Apparently won't know who exactly signed it until it arrives but still cool. Either signed by Thurston Moore, Kurt Vile, King Princess, Andrew Bird, Sharon Van Etten, or Matt from The National.
