Description

Radiohead - OK Computer. FIRST EDITION '97 UK Parlophone pressing, this is NOT the '97 repress.
>>> please read the entire description and please look at all pictures. thank you!

I've done more than my research on Steve Hoffman forums, reddit, Vinyl Collective, etc. THIS IS THE GOLD STANDARD IN BEST PRESSINGS for OK COMPUTER. Mastered by Chris Blair from the original analog tape recordings. This UK Parlophone pressing beat out future year represses, Capital Record pressings, and the recent XL Records pressings.

identifiers for an original pressing: - Parlophone Records - the inner sleeves have scoop die cuts at the top to facilitate removing the record (pic 2). future pressings do NOT have this - no where on the dead wax has the marking 8552291 (this would identify a '97 repress) - deadwax markings are as follows per Discog (BUT THERE IS A DISCREPANCY IN THEIR DATA) *

* the X on side D is a 1 overlayed with a 2 directly onto it. some people consider this an X, but it is incorrect to label it as such. Discogs does not mention this. I have more than 1 copy and it's the same on both.

Sleeve Grade: VERY GOOD + - there is a seam split in the bottom of both INNER SLEEVES there is MILD shelf wear and corner bumping in the bottom left corner with minimal bumping in the remaining corners.
Vinyl Grade: Very Good +. the discs have been play graded and while there is mild surface noise, it's barely noticeable once the music kicks in you do not notice it and I've very OCD about this. approx 3:05 minutes into Karma Police there is a 1 sec skip.
