GREENSLEEVES HAVE RE-PRESSED A SERIES OF THEIR CLASSIC 12'S, IN THE ORIGINAL CARTOON BAG. THE ONLY VISIBLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE RE-PRESSES AND THE ORIGINAL ONES IS A SMALL "STICKER" WITH A BARCODE ON IT THAT HAS BEEN ADDED NEXT TO THE CITY QUAKE SOUNDS SYSTEM IN THE PICTURE ON THE BAG.

The original is not only green, colored vinyls are/were just a way to attract customers.
You can recognize an original by its smell, its color, the label, the jacket, the groove, the glue used to stick the label, the inner sleeve, the mark on the dead wax etc etc...
