In Reply to: RE: Informed ebay seller that LP described as original isn't original and got this interesting reply posted by nutbatter on July 30, 2012 at 21:00:51
i think the label change happened the same year/time frame benefit was released. it may be a second pressing done from the same mother in the same year. for a number of reasons i guess i don't automatically assume original means a first pressing.

I agree with you on that. I never take 'Original' to mean a first pressing. Some of the Japanese Sellers on Ebay also say 'Original [Japan LP]' but that has other connotations as in an 'LP issue originating in Japan' and not the very first issue in that country of the title concerned.
If a seller wants to convey that a particular pressing is the first one in that country, be it U.S.A., United Kingdom, Germany etc., then he should say exactly that. 'Original' is vague.
"'Original' is vague."
Exactly; there is no authoritative definition for "original". It means whatever you want it to mean.
Wasn't there an original Colt .45, or Atari 2600, Gallagher, Model T, frozen dinner, or the Colonel's fried chicken recipe available to the consumer market? Semantics, schemantics.

Samuel Colt made 45 caliber weapons in many models; which one is the original?
Is a Ford Model T with a starter motor original or not?
Have you found an original frozen dinner on ePay?
When it comes to chicken and Atari you are on your own!
It's gotta be known by someone, somehow, somewhere. It's digging deep into the research. A lot of products can be pinpointed in terms of their original availability.
