Boo The Boss Player is from Jackson, Mississippi and released a classic self titled album in 1996 on Black Diamond Entertainment that was eventually re-released.

If you have this album, but are not sure which version it is, it’s probably because they’re both very similar to each other. Both of the releases even use the same matrix/ringcode, which is normally the true indicator of which version you have. Here is a quick tip to help you tell the difference between the two.

Since you can’t spot the re-release by looking at the front cover, turn over the album and check out the rear traycard. You can then spot the re-release because there is a barcode on the bottom right corner that is covering Boo’s white jacket.

Below are both releases side by side so you can see the difference for yourself. The original Boo The Boss Player is on the left, and the Boo The Boss Player re-release is on the right.

Here are both of the cd’s side by side showing that there is really no difference between the cd’s. The 1st press is on the left, and the re-release is on the right.

Below are scans of both of the cd matrix/ringcodes side by side showing that they’re both exactly the same: IFPI L801 W.O. 107604-1 S.O BDR1001
