My philosophy on OG vs reissues is really simple - which one's cheaper? 😆I'm on a budget, man, I got kids to feed! Seriously though, the cost is often the biggest factor. I won't typically pick up a Billy Joel or Elton John re-issue if I know I can get an original (or at least an earlier re-issue) for half the price all day long. On the other hand, if it's a pricy or hard to find OG, heck yeah I'll go for the reissue. At the end of the day it's about the music for me. I collect to listen, not to sit on the shelf and look pretty. Thx for heads up on the Marty Robbins, I'm a huge fan but only have a couple of early greatest hits compilations on vinyl.
@@CivilGoreTim I’m right there with you on the budget. I love getting OGs when I can but sometimes you have to get the repress or just have to get what’s available! That’s just the way it is. I hope they continue to repress Marty’s albums they are all so good!
When I look at these box sets I try to figure out how much it is for an album. Sometimes they charge too much per album and I then walk away. I don’t mind reissues as I can’t afford a lot of the OGs anymore.
The VR did come out on vinyl when it was initially released. I have two copies 😎
I thought it might have but just couldn’t remember. Of course you would have a copy or 2 lol!

I completely agree with you Steve! As much as I like and try to get an OG when I can, sometimes it’s just not possible.
OG snobs are one of my least favorite types of collectors. Congrats on the box set snag!
Thank you! I love OGs but come on it doesn’t always HAVE to be an OG!
