Description
I had a lot of trouble identifying the exact issue as none of the listings on Discogs match the matrix numbers present on these records. I'm pretty positive it is a Pitman pressing as 3/4 sides are stamped "P" in the runouts but I don't know which issue it is so I will show my findings here and you can make a determination for yourself. I have a feeling this may be a transitional release between first and second pressing but I have no hard evidence to back that up.
Matrix:
9316 Side A: XSM113765-3A | P 3 3 9316 Side B: o XSM113766-3A | P P 9317 Side A: 3? XSM113767-3A o P 2 2? Etched Matrix # 9317 Side B: o XSM113768-2C R? P C 3
Any number or letter with a "?" next to it is hard to make out as some of the stamps/etchings are super faint.
I could not find any release that matched the 3A/3A/3A/2C scheme. I also considered that maybe one or more of the vinyls has been mismatched but I couldn't even match two sides of the same disc on discogs which is what makes me think that this may have been a transitional pressing when they were switching plates or something like that.
Condition:
Vinyl is in VG+ condition with some very light scuffs and scratches here and there. One scratch on side 1 causes a click for a few rotations. Play tested and sounds great.
Jacket VG+ with some light wear mostly around the edges.
