Notes
2022 reissue, which on first glance looks very similar to one of the original US pressings (there are 2 of these).
This reissue differs from one of the original USA 2004 pressings Kanye West - The College Dropout by the following:
(1) The original pressing has "Printed in the USA" on the back cover as well as on the insert. This pressing does not.
(2) The original has the following text on the center labels: "Warning: All rights reserved. Unauthorized duplication is a violation of applicable laws. Made in the U.S.A." This pressing instead has: "FBI Anti-Piracy Warning: Unauthorized copying is punishable under federal law. All rights reserved."
(3) The reissue seems to have a slightly wider spine when compared to the original.
(4) The reissue comes in square, white polylined innersleeves.
(5) The reissue has different runout etchings and stamps.
This reissue is identical to the other original USA 2004 pressing Kanye West - The College Dropout on the outside, and differs by the following only:
(1) The reissue has different runout etchings and stamps on the record itself.

Anybody have stamped runouts in addition to the etched ones on their copies? Trying to figure out if this is the version I just bought. My side C has (1206231) 01010104 stamped, all sides have the same number in brackets with a different second number. -
I bought this record in a regular resell store for the usual cost, and I did not expect that I would receive sealed one. The sound quality is super. I really love Kanye's first album. It's a pity, of course, that it's not gatefold, but it's still very cool! -
Doesn't sound as good as the previous pressing I had, however it's still good overall. Side A and Side B sound pretty distorted near the end, however the other two are fine. SUPER dirty though, like holy shit -
Decided to bite the bullet and pick up this release (seems to be some mixed reviews with previous versions).
Overall really impressed and stoked to have this in my collection. No skips and discs are dead flat (not warped) and to my ears sounds great. The production of the inner sleeves isn't great so I'm planing to replace them with better inners and give the discs an ultrasonic cleaner to remove any debris.
Happy to have this one finally :)
