Omayyad

S2: CRUMBLING LAND (STUDIO - LONG VERSION)/RAIN IN THE COUNTRY (STUDIO)/EMBRYO (LIVE)*

SQ: EXCELLENT

COMMENTS: POSSIBLY THE FIRST AMERICAN PINK FLOYD LIVE RECORD. ORIGINALLY ISSUED BY TMOQ (1). LATER COPIED BY TMOQ (2) AND MANY OTHERS.
EARLY CV PRESSINGS ARE SOUGHT AFTER AND EXPENSIVE. LATER BLACK VINYL COPIES ARE MUCH MORE COMMON. SOME LATER PRESSINGS HAVE PLAIN WHITE LABELS. THIS RECORD HAS HAD MANY PRESSINGS ON THE TMOQ LABEL AND THE ORDER OF THEM SHOWN BELOW IS THE LOGICAL ORDER FROM THE PRESSINGS KNOWN TO THE AUTHOR. HOWEVER AFTER THE SPLIT BETWEEN THE LABELS ORIGINAL PARTNERS 'DUB' & 'KEN', TRYING TO IDENTIFY THE DIFFERENT PRESSINGS IS SOMETHING OF A MINEFIELD AND INVOLVES SOME EDUCATED GUESSWORK. WHAT CAN BE SAID WITH CERTAINTY IS THAT THE FIRST PRESSING AS SHOWN BELOW) IS CORRECT AND THE TWO SETS OF PLATES USED (PF515 & 1830) HAVE BOTH APPEARED WITH FARM PIG LABELS. THIS WOULD SUGGEST THAT KEN USED DUB'S LABELS FOR ONE OR TWO RUNS AFTER THE SPLIT - AND HE MAY HAVE USED DUB'S PLATES (PF515 A/B) ALSO. WETHER HE DID OR NOT, THE PLATES WITH THE MATRIX '1830' WERE USED BY KEN FOR ALL OF THE SUBSEQUENT TMOQ(2) ISSUES.

TMOQ(2) ISSUE: (1830 A/B) KEN'S VERSION OF THIS LIVE RECORD FROM THE 1830 PLATES. FIRST PRESSING WAS IN A PLAIN (OFTEN COLOURED) SLEEVE WITHOUT A RUBBER STAMP OR STICKER AND WITH A PAPER INSERT WITH FARM PIG LOGO AND LECOR PRODUCTION CREDIT REMOVED AND 'MAMMARY PRESENTATIONS' LOGO ADDED IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. PRESSED ON BLACK OR COLOURED (USUALLY BLUE) VINYL WITH THE SMOKIN' PIG LOGO ON LABELS. LATER PRESSINGS WITHOUT A LOGO ON THE INSERT AND PRESSED ON BLACK VINYL WITH SMOKIN' PIG OR PLAIN WHITE LABELS.

I can send to Russia, but since the post office there is notorious for being very slow and unreliable, I will only send the package via EMS service, fully insured and trackable. It will cost around 40$. If you are ok with it, you are welcome to bid.
