Michael Jackson The Best Of Vinyl LP 1975 UK Motown STMR 9009 STML 12005 A2/B2
DESCRIPTION
ITEM OVERVIEW
• Artist: Michael Jackson

• Label: Tamla Motown (UK Pressing)
• Release Year: 1975
• Catalog Number: STMR 9009 (Features STML 12005 markings)

RARITY & IDENTIFICATION
This is a highly collectible 1975 UK pressing. It is a "transitional" copy, featuring both the original STML 12005 and the STMR 9009 catalog numbers on the labels and in the run-out grooves. This identifies it as a very early UK issue from the mid-70s.

• Side 1: STML 12005 A-2 / STMR 9009 A-2
• Side 2: STML 12005 B-2 / STMR 9009 B-2
• Stampers: Includes "MADE IN GT BRITAIN"
CONDITION REPORT
• Vinyl: EXCELLENT (EX). The vinyl retains a beautiful glossy luster. Visible inspection shows only very light, superficial surface marks/paper scuffs that do not impact playback. Labels are clean with minimal spindle marks.
• Sleeve: VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+). The iconic "Dove" cover is in great shape. Colors are vibrant. There is some light shelf wear to the edges and corners consistent with its age, and very faint ring wear on the back. No splits or writing.
