My copy has the older postal frank, so that lines up with your dating.
Inside the Archive: Two Weeks Sorting Vortex Campaign
Two weeks, one shelf, and a box marked only with a year. What sorting Vortex Campaign material taught me about how a label actually remembers itself.
The catalogue numbers lie. Not maliciously — they were assigned by intention, then overtaken by reality. Three releases share the same number because the first two never shipped.
An archive is not a record of what happened. It is a record of what someone decided to keep.

Welcome to the scene. You did not overpay — you bought a story.

This is why I keep coming back here instead of the old group.

The re-issue runs on the new master. Original is original, but the re-issue is cleaner by design, not by accident.

I would call reel dubs collectible if the provenance is solid. Otherwise they are just copies.

This is the most useful thread I have read all month. Thank you for documenting it.
