... the first and second pressing were only weeks apart.
They however, both contained the same artwork.
Red, are you sure the cd came with 8 pages booklet, like in
Finding The Way Home? If thats the case, copies with
only 4 pages artwork are a boot of the boot.
Cant locate my Crown copy, anybody out there can shine
a light on the possible variations reg. the number of pages?

... white label, blue lettering is the 2nd pressing.
the first came with brown lettering, so Ive been told.
... must be the real thing, having the 'complete ' booklet included.

Here is the picture from ebay:
Never seen it before.
My "Second pressing" is white with Blue writing - matrix BILKO 1800
It's only actually a 2 page booklet because the inside is just plain!!
The 1st pressing has a nice booklet with descriptions of each of the outtakes etc.
Maybe mine is boot of a boot. Lots of that has gone on and is going on!!

Yeah, I've been wondering about that. My copy of "Let Me Take You Home" (digipak) has kind of fuzzy pictures, yet I've seen reviews of this CD where people praise the crystal clear picture quality. And how come some of the DAE releases are so easy to find? They must have been bootlegged a hundred times.BIGREDG wrote:Maybe mine is boot of a boot. Lots of that has gone on and is going on!!
The good thing is that everyone still can find these legendary soundboards!

100% correct - there are second pressings of all the DAEs with inferior picture quality on the digipaks. And they did not even try to replicate the doublw digipak!! I don't know, but it must have been another company reproducing them. They are still around in quantity on ebay. The first pressing is of course more of a rarity.Keith Richards, Jr. wrote:Yeah, I've been wondering about that.

Thanks for clearing that up. At least I have first pressings of "Holding Back The Years" and "Old Times They Are Not Forgotten". Probably the best soundboards of all time! Well, I wouldn't say the best, but they are my favourites, "One Night Only" included.BIGREDG wrote:100% correct - there are second pressings of all the DAEs with inferior picture quality on the digipaks.

I wondered about the DAEs for years as I bought them all through the UK Official Fanclub when they were released. Let Me Take You Home was like the FTD digipacks are rather than the other DAEs I had which were double gatefold. The disc itself was obviously a reproduction as rather than the lettering being silver ie the CD base surface through the screen print, they were dull letters as if an original had been scanned. Luckily I managed to pick up an original Let Me Take You Home about 3 years ago.

Hmm, that is interesting. I have not seen DAEs with single gatefold digipaks!!

'My It's Been A Long, Long Time' is indeed the best sounding sounboard to date - sound is rich, warm and well balanced. With relexed Elvis performance (his voice was not so weak like it will be in months to come) and Sweet Inspiration's intro, this is one of the few very enjoyable shows of 1976 (not counting the winter tour )[/quote]
