Description
ITEM DETAILS: First press, but the first pressings of this LP have diff masters/plates that were used that were not the same
A Genuine A/ B matrix / master, This master of this album with this matrix indications is known as the "True Sound Master " with TSM etched into the run off groove/matrix ...
The True Sound Manufacturing Corp. pressing variant of this first press never had the A1/B1 matrix #s, just A/B without the 1s
This one has a dayglo hype sticker at the bottom corner. The versions with these dayglo stickers are very rare. I have only seen a few in person. There are several examples of these stickers being affixed directly to the sleeve as was the other one we sold (with a different larger dayglo sticker at the top), directly on the sleeve instead of the shrinkwrap.
we heard no difference to this TSM versus other TSM copies we have and have sold. There is a belief that some Record Club manufactured LPs in 1980s were inferior due to using worn out plates or just screwing up the process along the way using their own plates/master for their manufacturing
not the case here..same master /plates for this as other TSM copies of this we have. This is unique as it's the only Record Club copy of this we've ever seen
or rather a first pressing Record Club issue from 1972. The vinyl pressings were the same then and they just added a sticker on lower back right corner to sleeves for the record club copies like this one. So, same fidelity, same first pressing "True Sound" variant.
SLEEVE -Gatefold sleeve is VG+ but a very nice one. ..only some bubbling seen in glare across bottom and top edge shows wear. still obviously a great, solid looking sleeve
original inner sleeve has a little seam split at bottom.
VINYL: Near mint
- Matrix / Runout (A-Side Runout Etching : ABCX-758-A X
- Matrix / Runout (B-Side Runout Etching : ABCX-758-B T.S.M.

Check out our other listings to combine shipping. Extra items can ship at little cost or at no extra charge. Depends on which items. Just ask for a quote before you buy.
*******As a longtime seller AND buyer of LPs through the mail…We use oversized 13 x 16 inch mailers with "air cells" on the left and right of the LP to ensure no corner damage. We always ship the the vinyl outside of the sleeve (if not sealed) and pack the inner sleeve separately if necessary to insure it gets no seam split in travel. Also, if not obvious, we do not use the term Mint for open product. near mint is the top grade even if perfect. NM NM- VG++ VG+ VG
