Does anyone have info on this LP with theBlack and red asylum logo? I can’t find mention of it anywhere. -
I have got exactly this edition withe same pictures. Labels are also the same big elektra logo. I feel that album is a bit heavy. My scale ain't very precise but icame out: about 160gram.
I do my Waits collection and have lots of this ALSDORF pressings. But re-issues or re-pressings without barcodes. The ones with barcodes were :
1st. Tom Waits – The Heart Of Saturday Night
Label: Asylum Records – AS 53 035, Asylum Records – K 53 035, Elektra – AS 53 035, Elektra – K 53 035
Barcode: 07559603351
I don't know how to give you the link. But it' the only 180 gramm (German) issue before the 2000's.
2nd : Tom Waits – Blue Valentine
Label: Asylum Records – AS 53 088, Asylum Records – K 53 088
Barcode: 07559603352
German ALSDORF Blue Valentine, LP, Album, RP, Gat, AS 53 088, K 53 088 , this one here.
- Same look of the barcode in lettering.
- Both German pressings.
I felt the 1st album was heavy vinyl. Put it on a scale and it was around 170 (Non precise kitchen scale) gram. I thought maybe a 150 gram or so. Then I found here on discogs that it's a 180 gram version. I suppose from the 90's. I bought them from a friend who's been maybe 3 years older so that must be the time range. Maybe 1993-97 or so.
They're listed from an unknown timeperiod..
So my guess was the barcode is one number behind the 1st. It felt also a bit more heavy as usual and the scale said 160. But really unprecise.
So I kept searching a 180 gram version with the same numbers, etc.. I found one from Europe, UK,.It was listed as DAMONT . Also no elektra letters on the label.
Everything else would 've fit
NOW : is is possible that the listed version is also a 180 gram version? Because on the 1st it was only on a sticker on the cover..
OR: Is it possible that that's pressed in Ger54many from the UK Matrices.
Simple would be if anybody who own's it could weigh it with a precise scale or simoly know what's up. Maybe only a 150 gram .?.
THANKS for informations! -
Does anyone have any info on the clear vinyl versions sold though the website? I got Heart Of ... and Small Change just fine but not a word on anything since.
