DOLLY PARTON — "HELLO, I'M DOLLY! / AS LONG AS I LOVE" (1972 MONUMENT 2LP SET)
Rare Earliest 1972 Transition Pressing — Columbia Terre Haute Plant (T1 Master) Vinyl Condition: MINT & UNPLAYED
Up for sale is a spectacular, collector-grade copy of Dolly Parton’s essential early Monument Records double-album package.
This is not a common late-70s budget reissue; this is the highly prized, absolute earliest 1972 first-pressing run from the legendary Columbia Records plant in Terre Haute, Indiana. RARE MATRIX / RUNOUT CODES IDENTIFICATION:
This specific copy was manufactured using the earliest master metal plates, transferring raw, uncompressed 1960s analog depth directly to the wax. * Record 1 (Side A): SLP 18085 - A-3 (Hand-etched "T" style code) --> Features the authentic, original 1967 first-press master audio layout for "Hello, I'm Dolly!" * Record 2 (Side A): SLP 18136 / X5Y-145-866-1 1/8 T1 --> Confirms the scarce 1972 CBS master tape transfer lacquer cut, pressed natively at Terre Haute (T1).
CONDITION SPECIFICATIONS: * Vinyl (Both Discs): MINT (M). Absolutely pristine, flawless, and unplayed.
The surfaces retain 100% of their original high-gloss factory luster with zero sleeve scuffs, hairlines, or spindle marks. You will not find a cleaner sounding or looking copy of this audio master.
Gatefold Jacket: EXCELLENT / VG+. High-gloss front and back cover showing vibrant colors. The jacket shows a small, minor corner ding on the upper right and a touch of light, standard storage shelf wear / faint ring wear along the very bottom edge. Solid, fully legible spine and crisp edges with no seam splits or writing. Beautifully preserved overall.
This is a definitive archive-quality piece for serious Dolly Parton collectors and vinyl historians alike.
