Did I REALLY Need a 4th Copy of This Album?

Did I really need a fourth copy of Stryper's The Yellow and Black Attack? ‪@stryperofficial‬ Probably not…but when a Japanese pressing unexpectedly appeared during a Whatnot auction, I couldn't resist. In this video, I show off my newly acquired Japanese Sony pressing complete with the OBI strip, Japanese lyric insert, and two bonus Christmas tracks that weren't included on the original U.S. release. I also compare it to the various U.S. pressings, explain the infamous cover cropping issue, and talk about why the original mix remains my favorite version of this classic Stryper debut. If you're a fan of Stryper, Christian metal, Japanese pressings, or vinyl collecting stories, this one's for you. 🎸 Do you own any Japanese pressings? 🎸 Have you ever bought another copy of an album you definitely didn't need?

I have a fairly wide music genre pallet, I do mainly spend much of the time in the rock, hard rock, and melodic metal realms. You will still find me delving occasionally in classic rock, progressive rock, psychedelic rock, and contemporary jazz. While most of my material here deals with vinyl records, I do have a large compact disc collection, and I even show a bit of my real band stuff from my life as a cover band drummer. The focus is on the music and the artists. Please be kind and keep it cordial in the comments section. Remember, music is very subjective, and we all have differing opinions - accept those differences. 00:00 Did I Really Need Another Copy? 00:15 I'm Not Usually This Kind of Collector 00:57 Finding It on Whatnot 01:51 Why I Took the Chance 02:25 The Japanese Stryper Pressing 03:11 Comparing the U.S. Versions 03:57 The Japanese Sony Release 04:23 Bonus Tracks You Didn't Get in America 04:49 Condition and Price 05:20 The 1986 Remix Version 05:55 Why I Prefer the Original Mix 06:12 The CD Release Mystery 06:43 My History With This Album 07:08 Another One for the Collection 07:18 Final Thoughts
