Just scored a original ( thinknit is an original ) Chris Cornell songbook vinyl for only 35 euros on a Record&CD fair in the Netherlands. I was ( and still are ) so in doubt if it isnt a reissue or a unofficial copy. But on the back it says 2011. 

Don't know much about this album but the majority of unofficial copies of this look like they are on coloured vinyl. There does appear to be a black unofficial issue but you should be able to tell by the matrix on the run out groove. The details are on discogs of what you need to look for. The sleeves of unofficial stuff tends to be made of cheaper card that's grey on the inside and often any small text is broken up with little bits missing or blurry. You need an eye for detail sometimes with these things.  You can often find good stuff at record fairs but if its too good to be true then you know what they say. Good luck, hope it's the real deal.

Yeah i really think its the real deal. The sleeve is good quality stuff. The vinyl itself is black with a little bit of the cover around the needle opening. I googled the vinyl and its cover and looked for it on Discogs, i cant find any weird things
I know there is the 2020 Europe (black/red)version, but again on the back one i bought says 2011

official/unofficial has its importance for sure, but above all else HOW DOES IT SOUND!!!!!

Its great!!

good to hear. been on my radar for a minute..

not hopeful for an official reissue. given some of the contention between the band and his wife over social media accounts and vault material.

solo work is completely within her control.

I've been known to get my phone out at Record Fairs, in record shops and even in charity shops etc to check what I'm buying and if the price is about right. Don't know if that is frowned upon or not but a quick check on discogs is often useful. The info on discogs is pretty good. I would never say its 100% right on everything. There's often represses that aren't really accounted for on some releases. A few times I know for a fact that I bought a few records where the timelines don't match the entries.

Went and saw AWOLNATION this weekend and picked up Megalythic symphony 10yr anniversary, Angel Miners and Lightning Riders and My Echo myShadow.

Also bought the opening band Mysterines album.  They were funny and good.  Check them out.  Just found out that the band Badflower was the band I saw that was funny, not the Mysterines..  So check out Badflower.

Head Like a Hole was a game changer for me.  Same with Evenflow

When I was 12 I got my first introduction to industrial when I saw the video for Skinny Puppy’s “Dig It”.  I wouldn’t say that was a game changer for me, as I didn’t particularly “get it” in 1986 as teenage angst hadn’t kicked in yet. 

But I was aware of this crazy new style of music and was always drawn to stuff most others my age weren’t. 

The album that really got me into the industrial scene was Ministry’s The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste record which came out in ‘89 I think. When I heard “So What” I flipped out. Still a great song. 

Then discovered KMFDM…. Wow. 

Not a NIN hater, but all 3 of those bands listed above were better imo

Yes^^loved dig it (that vid is just a zombie crawling around I think) Anthology is a great cd by skinny puppy. Not sure I'd dig it so much anymore. Ministry blew me away. Twitch is lightweight but I enjoyed it. Then they went heavy and bit into them hard. Very cool. Kmfdm was a big part of my past too.  What am I getting at...Don't know.

STIGMATTTTTTAAAA!!!!!!!

Love you all

^Did not know that's what it stood for. Shheeesh. I know nothing!  Saw kmfdm at an old church club in nyc. They had this supergroup industrial band pigface. Saw them at city gardens in trenton nj. Small club. The show was a bit forgetful or maybe because it was so long ago. Consolidated was a good band also Meat Beat Manifesto. Industrial music really didn't stick. A blip in the history of music. Imo

It actually doesn’t. That’s the joke they came up with to explain it to Americans on their first tour and in the lyric on the song Kunst

It actually stands for Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid, loosely translated by the band as "no pity for the majority" 

Loujoe

Alright. Good history lesson. My bud loved kmfdm and was at that show with me. His gf flaked out so he had to leave. Sux for him. End of flashback...or has it just begun. Thanks for sparking up that corner of mx brain.

My head is packed with memories.

My father in-law has about 400 records that I’m about to inherit. Think I’m getting his turntable and speakers too. Nice pick up. He’s 76 now and I think he’s ready to move his collection on. 

Loujoe

^^Very nice. Post a few of your favorites.
