... great picture, paul ... 
... House Of Reptiles under construction ... 
...Was this you, taylor ?"the original pressing of Reptile House that was stricly limited to 50 copies (but less distribuited) was released by Palazzo boys Very Happy
using 5o remains copies of side A of Black pack 2lp with yellow label and most important using 50 sleeves with red stamp on back "limited edition of 100 copies" (as usa ltd 100 reissue) that was hidden by the glued insert of reptile (you can still see it with a 100 w lamp).
This is one the only legitim copy of it.
Later a reissue was done by someonelse using normal white card sleeve and numbered yellow vinyl lp (quantites unknow) without the red stamp.
And another totally fake done by a private seller using the blue eyed label of black pack 2lp with poor inserts
this the true story"
And if so, how comes the Black Pack has no Palazzo catalogue# ?
What's the relation between them and KTFB Records/Observation Records ?
Also - yellow label Black Pack = re-issue limited 100 ?
Reissue House of Reptiles yellow vinyl or yellow labels in white card sleeve without or with xerox ?

I've got a picture of the yellow label edition. Shall include that and the info about the re-issue in the Black Pack page ... soon ...
Thanks ...

in this case for the house of reptile lp were used some proper copies originally pressed for the black pack 2lp reissue,
maybe some extra surplus copies .

For example the red sleeves gatefold silence is platinum limited for the convention. There were only ever 1000 discs made, the 40 for the convention came from the fact that some of the boxes were damaged and were too expensive to remake

... ok. I'm revising the text of the pageWhat makes me wonder, though, is the print on the front of the black boxes. White? Silver? Golden?
Hard to detect from the small pictures I've got...
...Or are the white ones re-issues / fakes?...

Well, I tried. But especially the one of the disc is just too unsharp.paul wrote:photoshop ahead! I'm used to see my table disappear after the Sabine-touch
However, there is a page for House Of Reptiles now ... not yet ready, though ...
...And I've revised the Silence Is Platinum page ...

...Btw, this looks like a nice copy - In The Dark Night (b/w cover version) ... not exactly cheap, but still ...
Also nice - Live Heidelberg 1990
Posted: 04 May 2013, 21:11
Heidelberg is missing the sleeve though ...
Posted: 04 May 2013, 21:16
True, but the insert is there and the price is accordingly low ...paul wrote:Heidelberg is missing the sleeve though ...

Is Razor Smiles (red vinyl) of interest to anyone on here?
Posted: 10 May 2013, 10:12
Maybe?...
Posted: 10 May 2013, 10:35
Seen one selling for $20 - that's about ten quid or so?
Posted: 10 May 2013, 21:11
No? that's cool... I have no idea about bootlegs or what they are worth, just thought I'd mention it.
Posted: 10 May 2013, 23:04
Of course I do want it!
