Description
Calling all audiophiles and Police collectors! This is the definitive "Hot Stamper" first pressing of Synchronicity. While it carries the European catalogue number AMLX 63735, this specific copy was pressed using the legendary US Masterdisk stampers and features the highly coveted "RL" initials of mastering engineer Bob Ludwig etched into the runout on both sides.
Why this is the "Holy Grail" version:
The Bob Ludwig (RL) Masterdisk cut is widely regarded as the best-sounding version of this album ever made. It features a massive dynamic range, punchy bass, and a clarity that standard UK/EU cuts simply cannot match. Finding the superior US Ludwig mastering paired with the typically quieter European vinyl surfaces is the "best of both worlds" for serious listeners.
This specific copy:
Cover: Variation #10 (Stewart top / Andy middle / Sting bottom) with standard Red/Yellow/Blue stripes.
Matrix/Runout Side A: 63735 -7A -1 MASTERDISK RL
Matrix/Runout Side B: [Insert Side B code] MASTERDISK RL
Condition:
Vinyl (Excellent): Beautiful high-gloss finish. Very well cared for with only the lightest signs of use. Plays with incredible power and detail.
Sleeve (VG+): Very tidy condition. Vibrant colors with some minor shelf wear/edge rubbing consistent with age. No major splits or tears.
Inner: Includes original printed lyric inner sleeve in great shape.
Shipping:
Sent in a professional record mailer with cardboard stiffeners. Vinyl is removed from the outer sleeve for transit to prevent seam splits.
