DECCA records from the 60's and 70's has three diffrent markings directly linked to the manufactoring process:
Matrix number/mother number/ Stamper letter
Matrix number can be found at 6 oclock on the vinyl. This 9067 is a DECCA file number for the master tape used for this side of the record. Number 1 is the running number of the Master Lacquer made in the lathe machine from Master Tape. THe letter A indentify the engeneer who created the Master Lacquer and supervised the whole process up to the stampers.
In general we can say that the lower Matrix number you have the earlier pressing in your hand.
THIS IS A FIRST PRESSING
MOTHER NUMBER: can be found approximately at 9 oclock on the vinyl. The number is sometimes difficult to see.This is the numberof the Metal Mother used to make the stamper. The high number that generally that is possible to find is 5.In generalit can be said that the lower number you find the earlier Mother is used.
STAMPER: the letter identifying the Stamper can be found at 3oclock on the vinyl. The letter sometimes is difficult to see.Decca used the word BUCKINGAM for numbering the stamper. The first Stamper to be made from the mother has the letter B, next one has U and so on.You may also find a combinations of two or three letters.
