Hi there,
I want to buy Sizzla's Black Woman and Child :
[here](http://www.ebreggae.com/Home.asp?FFID=5 ... &ChkSFTxt=)

It's available from VP and Greensleeves, two extra tracks on the latter for $1.50 more. From the sound samples the Greensleeves edition doesn't sound as good, but should I take any notice of that?

Thanks.

From a vinyl collector perspective...
Typically...the fewer the tracks...the better the sound quality. The reason why is because the vinyls get pressed wider grooves = fuller sound. Thus the reason why a true 12" Disco 45 plays way louder!!!
Can anyone else elaborate on this?
Then there's the difference between a USA/CA greensleeves press and a UK Greensleeves press. For some reason, the UK presses were always nicer. But that's a whole other issue....
hope this helps SHAKA. ADam

Thanks man,
I've always liked good Greensleeves pressings too.
Thing is, have you listened to the extracts? I'm really scared of their press, it just doesn't sound the same.
Think I'll go for the VP
