hmm.. and I thought I had a collectors Item..  :'(

Bought one a few years ago in the Virgin Megastore in Paris. Original uncensored cover. Lyrics on the inner sleeve.. 170 grams vinyl, correct me if I'm wrong.

Never dared to put the needle on it :).

I gave away my turntable years ago along with speakers that functioned as furniture.  Can you even buy turntables any more?  I must say this product doesn't really interest me but I do miss the art work on the album covers.  I think I still have a Sticky Fingers with the zipper.  Might have to pass that along to Dizzy if he really wants it. 

This may apply...

To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the long-playing record, Universal Music Group is delighted to announce the release of 80 titles (in four batches) on much-loved 30cm black vinyl across 2008. All will be exact replicas of the original packages and will contain a voucher enabling the purchaser to download MP3 versions of the songs within.

I'd much rather download "Shackler's Revenge".........

bleh.  i guess the uncensored cover makes it cool, but i've bought AFD enough.

WTF Oh I'm gonna run out and buy a turn table ::) 

I guess it's cool that it's on vinyl but it's an album that is 21 yrs old.  Who cares?

thats really not smart thing to do :no:

I have that Sticky Fingers! ;D  Was my Dad's-played once to tape and then put back into the plastic.

I think it's a pretty cool idea to commemorate.

I'm sure it's meant to be just a "collector's item" - not really meant for play.  I thought it was cool that it has the original cover.     

Damn, I thought this might be the re-recorded AFD that Axl was talking about.

I don't see why people are upset about this.

It's cool if you are a collector, or a listener of vinyl records.

It's an in-demand item.  Why not satisfy that demand?

You know what, though?  You DO have a collector's item.  The original is hard to come by.  This re-release, cool as it is, is a re-release - not the original.  I'd love to have an original - in the wrap - unopened - never touched.   

Too bad they didn't do this last year when the 20 Year Anniversary rolled around, would've been a lot more appropriate.

now THAT would be worth buying.

THAT would be a travesty!  Some things, in this life, need to be left alone.   

I agree. Although it would be interesting to hear the current bands take on AFD, not to mention have those songs in better quality. I say do it now while Robin is gone. :hihi:

Ironic isnt it?

A re release of a bands first album before the release of a 15 year album...

anyways, looks like september will be the biggest month of new gnr to date ..

your ignorance is astounding.

You forgot to add 'IMO'  :-*

So we knew about this ovver a month in advance... What about CD? I'm getting antzy again.  :nervous:

well you never know this vynal could go along with a big promo for the AFD cd to raise the gnr profile ahead of releasing new material to make people who are not big gnr fans remember who they are with the songs that made it big back in the day.

No doubt AFD needs to be remastered.  Hopefully maybe by the 25th anniversary of AFD they will release remastered versions of their catalog.

What about this line? :confused: Why mention a cd?

I found this LP with the original Monster cover on a regular cd shop a year ago.. payed normal price for it.. its not even rare..

not quite sure why they would re-release an album thats 21 years old; they should really concentrate on releasing an album thats 10+ years in the making

Why leave Axl out of the band listing?

you can get that at any Newbury Comic store. Its 29.99 there.

Tbh it must be partly fighting the bootleggers, cos this cover is one that has been heavily bootlegged.  I'm sure most sold on ebay can't actually be official.
