I was listing some stuff on Discogs the Shelter LP being one of them and I first listed it under the regular EVR release but then noticed the MISPRINT version.
Out of curiousity I clicked to check and it says the regular pressing was with red labels:
:format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-1171209-1426022188-4617.jpeg.jpg)
and the misprint or rather "misprint" with black:
:format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-6758770-1426022374-7862.jpeg.jpg)
I checked mine, black labels, cool... but then again I sold at least 5 copies of this record in the past and I was somehow under the impression that all of them came with black labels. I do keep all the ebay photos in one folder so I actually made an effort and looked it up. 4 of the copies I sold came with black labels and only one with red. Strangely enough I never noticed the difference.
On discogs there were 9 copies listed under the red labels and 0 copies under the black labels. Since there were none other, I listed mine with an optimistic $50 price. It's a misprint after all.
My question is:
are the black labels really a rare misprint and I was just unusually lucky coming across so many or the misprint isn't really a misprint but just another pressing of a 1000 or something which I would see as a more likely explanation to it being rather... common?
And to end this a REV related fun fact:
Within 5 minutes of me posting the Ignite Past Our Means on blue vinyl it was bought by... Joe D Foster lol
