Me atrae el color de la etiqueta de vinilo como un vampiro se siente atraído por la sangre virgen.

VHUK often gets very high prices for second or third press from various labels. Impressive but confusing.

Looks DG as well, though it’s a bit hard to tell for certain from the pictures.

In theory a first pressing would be bordeaux. The blood red finished somewhere around 12140.

I’ve never seen a blood red DG version of this one. Does anyone here on this forum have one or has seen one? Curious….

This Cookin’ that got the all time high price is indeed a later (second?) maroon label pressing.
