I was looking at a 1981 reissue of Iggy Pop’s , The Idiot yesterday in a S/H record shop in Brighton, The vinyl looked good, the sleeve less so, there was a decent sized tear where a sticker had been removed, he wanted £35 for it which I thought was a bit steep
I made him a cheeky offer which he declined and then showed me on Discogs what others were asking for the same record.
I left it at that because despite the price, the condition wasn’t good enough for me (subjective I know)
I did start to think that if I’m paying for a reissue, I may as well look for a better more recent version (providing it’s a good pressing).
Just wondered what others thoughts were on this?
I’m happy to be educated but couldn’t quite see the value in that particular reissue.
Thanks
