Starvue ‎– Upward Bound

SOMETIMES PEOPLE EMAIL ASKING ME TO VERIFY WHETHER THE STARVUE ALBUM THEY HAVE IS A GENUINE 1st Pressing. The Cat# of a GENUINE 1st press is MIR-1-1721 these are as rare as hell. Some dealers make the mistake of selling the repress as the original. Visually the artwork and credits are the EXACTLY same. However, beware, Starvue Upward bound LP's with the Cat# MIR-1721 are REISSUES. ALWAYS CHECK the Cat# with the seller if you want the original. Once you receive the record. Examine the sleeve/jacket. Originals are thick card sleeves NOT thin (white on the inside) modern card. The original /1st press vinyl is thick, (the reissue is thin modern vinyl which is shinny and light). The artwork on the original/reissue labels are also identical apart from the Cat#. BTW there's nothing wrong with buying a reissue. The reissue was pressed from original masters using modern technology. Therefore the EQ and sound mastering is far superior over the crackly 1st press originals. Some people think originals are always better.... well not necessarily in this case.....Hope this helps anyone unsure. KNOW YOUR MUSIC!!!!!!!!

Be very carefull of this seller, he has wasted a few peoples time so I would advise anyone to read the negetive responses that he's got. I tried to buy this record (Starvue-Upward Bound) and he gave me an address that didn't exist, then I asked to meet to pay for the record in person (£150) he cancelled the order and has not responded again to me on this subject. Be carefull people. Glen 23.4.2011. Peace
