They don't even have a picture that's in focus, to show the detail of the stickers!

That's not to say it'll sell for that much.

Is it worth that much, I personally would say no, not even close, but that's just me.

The copy that I bought in the early 1990s when Warner Brothers finally released it suits me just fine. lol

I don't think there was a 1994 long box (I could be wrong) so doesn't that in itself prove it's from 1987?

We need an expert to verify...

There can't be many of these around...

I love long boxes..

I didn't think there was a CD pressed for this in 1987 - only vinyl? Can anyone confirm?

Someone has put a bid in - shit! eek

Little? Yeah, right. It might be little but it's loud

Yes there were cd copies pressed for the 1987 release, how many and how many escaped the re-call I do not know.

As for the long box, i'm quite sure that a long box was not available for the re-release in 1994, but i'm not 100% on that one.

With Black Album 1987 vinyl, where is the best place to tell if you have an original from a 1994 reprint or a bootleg or fake version?

No one can answer that for 100% certain, and if they say they can then they're lying.
