It can be hard to see if your Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T-Shirt album is from 94′ (original) or a reissue from 1999. They look pretty much the same.



But if you know what to look for, you can spot the differences. Remember: It isn’t standing “1999” anywhere on the reissue.

1. The original cardboard is a little bit thicker than the reissue from 1999



2. At the original’s top of the disc it stands “1994 American Recordings.Mfg. By WEA Manufacturing. Made in U.S.A”, at the reissue it stands “American Recordings, LLC”.



3. The Original’s barcode is “9-45757-2”, and the reissue has “B0000068-02”

4. The title on the original is written with big letters.

5. There is a flag on the reissue.



6. All the song titles are written in big letters on the original disc, unlike the reissue.

7. On the Reissue it stand “Album#1 – Niandra LaDes” and “Album#2 – Usually Just A T-Shirt”. It doesn’t on the original.

8. Under the titles it stands “All songs produced and written by John Frusciante” on both of them, but on the original it stands “Publishing pending at date of printing”.

9. You can also see the barcodes on the discs are different. (Original: 9-45757-2, Reissue: B0000068-02)



10. On the original is everything written in one line, but the reissue has “John Frusciante” on top and “Niandra LaDes and Usually Just A T-shirt” below it.

11. The back cover picture is more centered on the original cardboard.

Hope this information will help you 🙂
