i had picked up the glam 12" for $11ish dollars at a local store, sealed, so I know it was new. They have another copy now, appears the same, but is selling for $20. Are there two different 12" versions of this possibly, explaining the price difference that the same store has, or is it likely that this 2nd copy they have simply has a bigger price tag? thanks brap@sonic.net icq_12645306 coming sooner than later: sfwd0004 - pre-mil·len·ni·um soundscapes 12" chris g. 1547 boston court #7, santa rosa, ca 95405 http://www.sonic.net/~brap/

This album was originally released on MoM's on Sonig label (out of Germany) so the $20 copy is likely a German import. About a month after the original release Thrill Jockey brought in directly a number of copies and began selling them through their U.S. distribution contacts, so the cheaper release is the "U.S. Domestic" version (even though they were all pressed in Germany!) -d.w.
