color difirences in reisues

[marc402]

This might be nitpicking but after having picked up both the U.S and The E.U versions of the reisues i noticed that the us versions are more true to the colors of the original release.
I'm only talking about the covers here by the way.
The U.S rumours is more yellow whereas the E.U version is just white.
Fleetwood Mac is more beige andagain the E.U version is plain white

no problem, this is the home of nitpickers;)
Where did you get your cd's? I ordered mine via amazon uk, and my Rumours is yellowish like the lp, Fleetwood Mac is white just like the lp.

[marc402]

lol i guess you got a point :p
I got my first 3 copies of the reisues in a record store in holland called van leest. Don't know if they have them in the north.
(these are the ones with the wrong color and come without the cardboard sleeve)
And i got the us copies of FM and Rumours (still waiting on tusk) from amazon.com (which are the corect color and come WITH the cardboard sleeve).
So does the UK version also have the sleeve ?

[Mari]

yes, there's a Van Leest in Groningen too. I feel silly talking English to you:D
Ik had geen kartonnen doosjes! ik heb ze bij Amazon co.uk vandaan, weet niet of het nog wat uitmaakt als je ze uit Amerika haalt?

(translation on request:p )

lol mari think of all the other ledgie's who can't read dutch ;)
well i actualy ordered 6 copies i ordered from amazon.com and i bougt them in the store here in hilersum
so i'll end up with 6 copies (talking about obsesions haha)
the us ones did have the carton slipcase but the ones i got at van leest didn't
same with the very best of , the one sold in holland doesn't have a slipcase either , luckily i got my copies from the UK and the US ;)

wonder why every dutch ledgie is so far away from me :p

[Mari]

you ARE obsessive!:eek: :D

*tries to hide two Rumours lp's, two BUckingham Nicks lp's, all the original rumours/tusk/white album cd's etc...

Well, why does every Fleetwood Mac fan live so far away from me? I wonder about the same thing!:p

And me here thinking i was the only dutch ledgie with 2 copies of Buckingham/Nicks ;) ;)
I got my first copy at a recordfair in jaarbeurs utrecht some years ago. It was at the end of my rounds and i was almost out of cash
(had about 50 guilders left) and there is was , but the dealer asked 65 for it so i was so bumbed out but i pursuaded him to give it to me for less must have emptyd my entire wallet and begged or something. but i managed to get it.
i was a happy bloke that day :p
Another fm fan i met online who was also from holland asked me if i ever found aother copy if i would get it for her and luckily i did found one (much cheaper and in beter condition even) at a local record fair. I lost contact with the girl so i kept it myself

de verzamelaarsbeurs in Utrecht!!! *happy memories:D
fl65, that's expensive . I paid 50 for my first, 25 (!!!) for the second one.
whenever I go to record fairs, I spend exactly the amount of money I have with me...
when's the next fair in Utrecht? Haven't been there in a long time:)

[marc402]

lol mari you remined me of me when i attend the jaarbeurs ;)
i don't take any more money with me than i can spend because if i can i do !
i haven't been there myself for i think about 2 years now
i think there is one in april though i do not know the exact date.
the folowing one will be somewhere in november likely

[Mari]

yes, that's exactly the same thing I do!!
Haven't been there for a long time either, no money:rolleyes:

[marc402]

i must say it has become less ever since i discovered the internet
but there is actualy nothing like finding a copy when browsing a crate of vinyl ;)

and we have queensday coming up at the end of the month !!
i found a vinyl copy of the peter green era greatest hits for only 1 euro last year.

[Mari]

ooooh vynil:D :D
Ha, Queensday, she's coming to Groningen this year, actually :)
So I'll try to catch a glimpse of her, maybe look for some secondhand records later :D
