I'd say the authentic version is on Reprise Records LP # RS 6453 and if you can find a matrix number 31237 it will be one of the Artisan originals. (The matrix number is hand written on the land between the leadout groove.)
The matrix number on my copy is RS-1-6453-LW1 and then RS-2-6453-LW1 on side 2. Do you have any idea what this means in terms of which pressing it is and what generation of tapes were used, etc.?
Susan:
Brother John - buy one! Even to my non-dog ears, it makes a difference in the sound - even of non-matrix recordings. What it does to Stephen's BB recordings is amazing - it opens everything up, lets you hear SO much more - - if you have the extra cash, it's well worth the investment!
brother john:
Thanks for the advice Susan. Maybe I should pop over to Stephen's site and take another look at his blurb.
Stephen - are they still available, and do you have a link?

Question for Brother John --
In your signature line you say, "Religion is a privilege, not a right." Wouldn't the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution make it the other way around? ~swd
I haven't read the 1st Amendment, so I can't comment. I'm English, so naturally don't subscribe to it. I didn't put the comment in to annoy or offend anyone, but it saddens me to see so much hate and mistrust in this world, much of which is based on interpretations of worthy religious texts of the past. There is a huge gap in understanding between the East and the West right now, and the voices riased the loudest in condeming other people's beliefs seem to come from those who use religion to defend their views. Martin Amis, our great English writer and novelist, once said (I paraphrase, but it was a short quote) 'Religion is fine in the home, but don't bring it out onto the street.' That I do subscribe to.
Well, that puts a different light on things. England has a state religion and that was one of the primary reasons for the colonies coming to and forming America -- to get away from government sactioned belief systems. Here is the 1st amendment of the US Constitution:
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

No longer available. If you don't mind waiting on my time table, I could make a copy of SU and SF from a CD or LP through the matrix to a CD, so you would, at least, have that. ~swd
