Description
(The first photo image is a ai created advertisement to showcase the album it is not the actual album. The real album is shown in proceeding photos ..). Highly sought after Pressing. Blue gray bogart label. Dead wax numbers say first pressing. The dead wax runout markings of "NBLP 7016 A1" and "1/1 A" indicate a specific early first pressing of the 1975 Dressed to Kill LP on the Casablanca label, likely from the Columbia Records Pitman pressing plant. Pressing Details This specific pressing is highly sought after by collectors as a true first edition with original characteristics.
- Catalog Number: NBLP 7016.
- Runout Matrix: The inscription NBLP-7016-A 1A (or similar "A1" variant) is etched in the dead wax (runout) area, with the 'A' at the end of the string typically stamped.
- Pressing Plant: The presence of a "P" or "PRC" stamp in the runout area (which often accompanies these matrix numbers) confirms it was pressed at the PRC Recording Company, Pitman, New Jersey plant (part of Columbia's operations).
- Label Type: This variant features the original blue-gray "Bogart" label with the "smoking detective" logo, issued before Casablanca introduced the "Filmworks" branding.
- Cover: The album cover is characterized by its embossed (raised) band logos on both the front and back.
- Inner Sleeve: Early issues, including this first pressing, came with a plain white inner sleeve, predating the printed ad sleeves used in later versions.
