Hi there,
Does anyone have the German pressing of Parliament’s first LP Osmium 1C 062-91763?
If so, could someone share pictures of the label and sleeve and share the matrix/run out.
UPDATE
PLEASE READ MY COMMENT BELOW
Thanks

Hey, welcome to the forum!
Unfortunately I don’t have that release, but I will keep a lookout for it at the record stores! Will take a picture and write down the runout. 😀
If I found Osmium for 20 EUR I would have bought it, but now after reading this I don’t know anymore… Maybe to be able to inspect it and compare it.

Thanks.
I do own a copy of the original German pressing as well as the 1st US promo pressing. I just want others to share their information since there is not much available on the net. Discogs is unreliable as I have found out the past week. A new seller was selling a German pressing for around 60-70 EUR which seems reasonable. So I asked for pictures. I couldn’t compare with my original copy as I am not nearby my collection. I automatically thought it was the original German pressing because I was not aware of any other German pressing until I found out this year as of now it was released either limited or unofficial I have no idea because I have not found much information besides some stores selling it for 20 EUR. I have no info on the label and Discogs has also not provided any info. I just wanted to warn other people when buying the German pressing to check the B side of the label. The original should mention in a box KEEP A/C not GEMA !!! The reissue mention GEMA that’s how I found out the seller was selling me not the original. Luckily the seller was kind and cooperated and refunded me the money. Perhaps he knew, maybe he didn’t.

So I found the new (probably bootleg) version for around $20 at the local store, so I got it. Thanks @Abstrakt_Sounds for posting this, I wouldn’t have known what I was looking at otherwise.
This version has the following runout (updated discogs as well).
_Side A: 91763 A-1_
_Side B: 91763 B-1_
@amesinger, could you check what runout your copy has (if you still have it)?

For completeness, here’s an image of the B-side of this versions. With _GEMA_ printed on it.
