this Maggot Brain LP

[hammertime]

Link I've never seen this...why does Maggot Brain on the label look like it was Photoshopped in with some shitty Simpsons font? I guess this didnn't have that front flap on the cover? How else is the LP out if it's still in the shrinkwrap?

 

[hcrink]

that white box on the back is suspect as well

 

[hammertime]

yeah for real...I wrote this off as some repress but now that the price is climbing I'm wondering if I'm crazy and this is something I didn't know about.

 

[boast1]

and whats the deal with all the words around the skull on the back cover?
:edit:
nevermind..the same thing is on the inside of mine. definitely doesnt seem to have the flap though.

REPRESS.

That just means that in 2 weeks there will be a thread on here:

"I bought a copy of Maggot Brain on eBay, the seller said it was OG
but now that I have it, my friends are telling me it's a boot!
What do I do??"

 

[hammertime]

eh that kinda sucks...i even emailed the seller asking them some shit but they never replied, which makes me think they know it's not O.G...

That font on the label is mad suspect as is the UPC-sized white box on the back.

Also, the print on the back is curious, I have an OG with no writing on the back, it's all on the inside left gatefold, with a pic of the band on the right. Were there non-Unipak OGs?

Also on second look of the label scan, it looks like dude photoshopped text out on the bottom part of the label.

That font is straight-up 1997. It's like the same way you can
look at an album probably get it's release within a year.
That font screams "post-house beat digger's repress!"

 

[speakmumbles]

i got an og for like 15 a few weeks back..and this one is surely a repress. and a bad one at that. damn.

 

[Kinetic]

The reason I am 100% certain that this copy is a repress is because I've had both the original and the repress before, and I know that the text shown printed in orange on the back cover in that photo is only on the repress. The original back cover is no text as the inside gatefold cover has that text in black ink.

oh man $81.50...someone's going to be super sad.

 

[SoulOnIce]

oh man $81.50...someone's going to be super sad completely clueless.

I didnt know this LP went for that much...this isnt the average asking price for it is it?

OG Funkadelics are incredibly hard to find this clean.
Think of how often these LP's are trashed.
It's like how clean Beatles OG's are worth $100 even though
there are millions of them.

Too bad this one is a fraud.

If the person is a collector theyw ill be pissed. If the person is looking for a clean copy to play, then they'll probably be happy. All in your perspective.

 

[flatblackplastic]

if you look hard enough at the repress it looks like there are words underneath the label. dark blue section on the bottom half.

No way. But they are hard to find clean with the delicate fold-over cover. Usually it's thrashed and holding on by a thread.
