    I know there are a couple different pressings out there, but I am honestly not sure where or how to tell the difference. I took a flyer and picked this up through BestBuy.com. It was on sale for $79.99 and I had $35 in gift certificates, so it was practically a no brainer taking a flyer and picking it up for $45. I've listened to it all except LP4, and it sounds great to my ears. "Tonight, Tonight" sounded so beautiful coming out of the speakers when I dropped the needle. I don't think you can go wrong if you can get a deal on it.

    I've always liked Bodies.  That's the song I crank.

    I'll take a look for it at BB.  Thx.

    Unless anyone has any other pressings I should look for?

    Originals have the regular gatefold sleeve with a white box in the corner, these can be numbered or not. The first run was 5000 but they did about 20- 30000 of these so I don't know why its still so expensive. No white box then it's a fake. If you are going the reissue route then best to get the EU pressed box as no reported issues. The US box has 2 pressings, the first has some inner groove distortion on one disc. The 2nd press is reportedly pressed better but no way to tell the difference from the outside.. If you hold off I believe there may be another pressing on the horizon in a regular gatefold sleeve. The choice is yours

    Just received this week - Bob Dylan Times They Are A Changing official white vinyl. Foo Fighters Concrete & Gold (black on black Spotify ltd edition). I have to say, that Foo Fighters album looks quite unlike the mock-up in the photo on merchbar.

    There's no way to tell if it's a 1st or this the 2nd press without opening it so retailers could still have old stock.

    Just picked this up at Newbury Comics during a 25% off sale. It had been sitting on the shelf staring at me for months. Asked the manager if this ended up being the 2012 distorted release, would I be able to return it even though it had never officially been recalled due to a defect. He said no problem and we both figured the odds of it being the older pressing were slim. It ended up being the newer 2014 press with no issues. Sounds great!

    Nice one. A lot of retailers can sometimes be funny about vinyl returns.

    I would just get the one that costs the least if I were you.
    I've personally got this one, and I'm very pleased with it: https://www.discogs.com/The-Smashing-Pumpkins-Mellon-Collie-And-The-Infinite-Sadness/release/4082874

    BTW, re the groove distortion on the 1st US reissue of Mellon Collie .... I got that version I believe, and I haven't noticed a single thing wrong with it, so it's either not as common as some would have you think, or it's too minor to worry about.
