You don't understand the difference between an "Orignal" and a repressing do you?? Okay let's try this one out for you If someone makes a kit car copy of an AC Cobra will having that on the market devalue the orginal AC Cobras??? NO!!
Okay now let's try this one out. If 200,000 lithograph copies of a very rare Van Gogh painting like this one below are created and sold at Prints Plus stores in mall across the world....


Would that make the original painting worth less money on the auction market?? NO cause you can only have 1 original. Even if there were 5000 from the original pressing released and then 5 years later another 5000 were released the value to a "Real" collector won't change cause they will won't one of those original 5000 copies.

Yes i believe i would know what the difference between Original and repress...who cares about value seriously? I don't care how much my vinyl is going to be in 10 years time, i just want to have the satisfaction of being able to understand the fact that i have a 1 in a 100 or something copy...

I guess everyone has a differnt purpose in obtaining rare items...i dunno

psygnosis i totally agree with you,
you do feel good when you put the effort in to search and find a track that are limited to 500/1000 copies which is rare,

But when they repress a tune of mass quantity it makes you feel gutted,

Im searching for X-Trax - Plan 94 (The Voyager) the original 1 sided release from 1994 which has 1000 copies pressed, some do regularly pop up on ebay but i have to bid at least £20+ to win it.

If you collect vinyl because they're rare and not because of the musical value then I can only pity you...

WHAT?? I don't buy songs because they are rare, i buy it cause i WANT the song, because i LIKE the song...

Let the song be rare for all i care, but WHEN it is rare, don't touch it.

a few tunes i've payed out the ass for that have been re-pressed

Cloud 69- Sixty Nine Ways
Ayu- M (At least the Armin mix isn't getting re-pressed )
Cass&Slide- Glad I Ate Her

I havew mixed feelings about re-presses.. on one hand no sense in beeing greedy,,, but on the other hand it's a bit frustrating when someone can just order a re-press that they in fact may just be finding out about for the first time,,, while others looked for it for months even years on end.
