MATRIX NUMBERS

 

STUNNING EXCELLENT+ TO NEAR MINT CONDITION

 

There were around thirteen first pressing issues of The Wall LP. As the metal master tapes (mothers) deteriorated, they were replaced by second generation master tapes. The earlier the mother matrix number, the better is reputed to be the recording.

 

What is on offer here is a true 2nd pressing taken from the first generation master tapes. 

 

The very first pressings of The Wall are also characterised by the following features:

Cover Sticker:

·        not present on this unfortunately

Front Cover:

·        The Wall is cream coloured, not white, with the bricks outlined in purple.

·        The cover is made from a single sheet of wrap-around cardboard, and is of a thicker cardboard than on later printings. If there is a 'join' seam at the base of the gatefold cover as well as the top i.e. made from two pieces of card, it is not a first pressing cover. There should only be one seam join and that is at the top of the gatefold where the single sheet is joined.

·        The bricks on the front cover are not aligned right to the bottom of the cover.

Back Cover:

·        There is no scancode on the back cover.

Inside Cover:

·        The credits on the inside cover do not list the members of Pink Floyd. It only says "Words and Music - Roger Waters."

·        Inside cover “Produced by” credits are for David Gilmour, Bob Ezrin & Roger Waters. Later pressings have  Roger Waters listed first.

Inner Sleeves:

·        Heavy cardboard inner sleeves with rounded corners and a nine-inch thumb notch. Inside of inner sleeves are light brown - later pressings were white inside

·       The inner sleeves catalogue numbers are on one line in the bottom right corner. Later pressings had the catalogue numbers on three lines.

Picture label:

·        Text around the top edge of the label starts at 7 o'clock and says:

“All rights of the manufacturer and of the owner of the recorded work reserved. Unauthorized public performance, broadcasting and copying of this record prohibited. Made in Great Britain. EMI Records (U.K.)”

·        Darker blue background to the label than later pressings.

·        Thicker vinyl than later pressings.

Because it was anticipated that this LP would be a big seller, there were around thirteen first pressings of the LP manufactured. Below are the matrix numbers for the earliest three first pressing issues of the Wall. The second is the one on offer here.
