DAMASCUS 12" FOR TRADE
Re: DAMASCUS 12" FOR TRADE
Actually the one you have is the first pressing. Second pressing is the one with the same front & back (including an insert). Not that it makes a big difference because they were both printed in 500 copies.weltbrand wrote:2nd sleeve variation with the original insert printed on the back.

No kidding? Thought I had read the opposite in the HRR LP insert. Hmm..maybe I should keep both!chatzial wrote:Actually the one you have is the first pressing.

The HRR write-up accompanying the reissue does say that the first press is the one with the same image front and back plus the insert. However, this is the opposite of what everyone else has said in the past; collectors/dealers have always thought that the first press is the version with different front and back images and no insert. Hence the current confusion.
In my experience the version with the different front and back covers is the harder one to find.

So, so be 100% on the safe side, you have to find both versions.nightsblood wrote:The HRR write-up accompanying the reissue does say that the first press is the one with the same image front and back plus the insert.

I have the one with different front/back side and with no insert.
