Notes

The sleeve of this original EU 2004 release is almost identical to the sleeve of this US 2022 reissue:
https://www.discogs.sie.com/release/24593441-Kanye-West-The-College-Dropout-

There are a couple of differences however:
- The spine of the this EU original is 3 mm wide, while the spine of the US 2022 reissue is 5 mm wide;
- The parental advisory logo of the US 2022 reissue is in high resolution. The logo of the EU 2004 original is in low resolution;
- The hypesticker of the original EU 2004 release is smaller, has a different text on it and is not stuck to the shrink wrap but to the sleeve itself.

Apart from these differences the runouts of this EU 2004 and of the US 2022 release do not match up.

    Does anyone know if this vinyl came sealed originally? I know the hype sticker was applied directly to the jacket. I’d love to find a sealed copy for my collection, but I’ve never seen one.

      can someone else confirm this has all the skits present? must be the only reason the market price is so high...

        is this the only version with skits? or were there others and what are they

          Found this at my local record store. The labels on the back matches this original EU release plus the cover is white. The hype sticker is different from this one though. Also made in Poland stickered on back cover. Could possibly be an EU reissue?

            Does this press cut the skits/have the purported quality issues of the US version?
