JimMorrison4 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Sorry if this isn't the right section to start this topic in.I got a vinyl copy of Appetite as a gift. It has the original artwork on the cover, but the record itself is an off-white. I googled it, but couldn't find anything. German copies were released in other colors (I think red, blue, and orange), but I couldn't find any pics or info on off-white records. Anyone know anything about it?

Padme Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Sorry I don´t know about colors. I haven´t seen an AFD vinyl since the very early 90´s. Could you post a picture of the white one you got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimMorrison4 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 I must be missing something. I can't find where to upload photos from my computer.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padme Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Ok I looked in Google. I found something about it. All the colors (white also) seem to be bootlegs with demos and live versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) If you post photos of the vinyl, etchings int the runout groove, the barcode on the album cover and where the album was released, you'll probably get answers. Bootleggers did do a lot of color vinyl in the 90s out of South America, they acquired the machines from shut down plants.

JimMorrison4 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) I've listened to the record. None of the songs are demos or live.http://tinypic.com/r/2rokm51/5 I think that should workThe back says, "Manufactured in Germany by Record Service GmbH. Alsdorf - Presse en Allemagne par Record Service GmbH. Alsdorf."Bar code is 0 7599 24148 1 4 Edited January 3, 2014 by JimMorrison4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfuckinga Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 99% sure it's a bootleg. Post a pic of the barcode and the etchings on the runout groove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) "Nightrian"?"Produciton"? We have to see the R-side!!! So far this isn't looking legit. Album covers of bootlegs also tend to be glossier, but this is prob. 20 years old. I'd still have Axl sign the album, and mean signing his autograph ON the white vinyl even if it was fake. I'd even want him to write "FAKE" on it just to put it up as a conversation piece, you were the one who bought it, so he might do it. I doubt he'd get pissed, but he'd probably go "how much did you pay" out of curiosity (and sympathy) .

JimMorrison4 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Ha.. didn't even notice Production was misspelled. It's misspelled on the R side too. I'm leaning bootleg, as well, now! Edited January 3, 2014 by JimMorrison4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfuckinga Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Did you look it up on Discogs?Yeah, no mention of a white vinyl. I also looked at Tim's site and didn't see an "off white colour", but the coloured ones he does have are suspected boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troccoli Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 All colors and even the clear one are boots AFAIK. I stopped collecting them after a while. Still cool to have. I think the clear one seems to be the oldest of the bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr_chanfere Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 yes Tim, all boots. and also clear is the oldest, think they started popin by end 2004 beggining 2005, right?also stopped collecting them after a while, too many, and expensive some. got few more than you Tm, though.www.gnrgadelho.zz.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman2000 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 You guys got 'er figured out. Definitely bootleg, see them all over eBay in different colors. I see red the most often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfuckinga Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I've seen Red and Orange the most. Seen a few green ones popping up as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimMorrison4 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Appreciate the help guys, thank you. My girlfriend got it for me at a flea market as a gift and paid $20. Since we can't find any others with the same color, I'll consider it a "one of a kind" version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman2000 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 $20 ain't a bad price, so that's cool dude! I've seen a few white ones on ebay, if any pop up soon I'll post 'em here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troccoli Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Ended just yesterday:http://www.ebay.com/itm/GUNS-N-ROSES-APPETITE-FOR-DESTRUCTION-WHITE-VINYL-MINT-/350966854846?pt=UK_Records&hash=item51b74134beI've seen a clear one a long time ago, mid 90's.

sr_chanfere Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 yes Tim, clear seems to be the older one, dont even know if that one´s a boot or not. i only got searching on ebay on 2005, thats when pink, purple and blue popped up in reasonable quantities. clear ones, i remembre my sister telling me she had seen one with a cover like the cd!!!! i the searched for the clear one, and eventually got one on 2006, from australia. definetly not a boot made that year. but the question is up for the clear one...and did ya ever seen one with the cd sleeve?
