Description

FROM THE LION'S MOUTH The Sound ORIGINAL 1981 FIRST UK PRESSING LP 12" ALBUM 


ALBUMS - EXCELLENT (almost no visible wear)


COVER - ORIGINAL GATEFOLD IS NEAR MINT to MINT (no ring wear, corners are like new and text is bright and vivid) 

original sleeves are still sharp - 


SLEEVES - ORIGINAL & EXCELLENT CONDITION (no seam splitting, tears or wear in the thin white sleeve with center window over the label in plastic)



MORE DETAILS / DEAD WAX MARKINGS (These markings highlight and prove this was indeed a first UK pressing album & highly collectible)

Side 1/A - KODE-5A W032 W-19 

Side 2/B - KODE-5B NOTHING W032 LB W-24


KODE-5 - The official catalog number. The 5 from the stylized UK font is frequently misread by collectors and scanners as S or SB.

W032 - This was manufactured at the WEA Records Pressing Plant in West Drayton, UK

W-19 and W-24 - these indicate the specific mother and stamper numbers used during the pressing.

LB - the initials of the cutting/mastering engineer or technician on shift at the lathe during the pressing

NOTHING - a tongue-in-cheek matrix message hand etched onto side B - it is a deliberate joke or artistic message from the mastering engineer (try as I might, I couldn't catch it with my camera but it is clearly visible to the naked eye)




This rare collectible record will be shipped well padded in a heavy duty custom box with albums removed from cover to avoid seam splitting & will be sent PRIORITY MAIL (NOT Media Mail). 


Feel free to reach out with any questions before purchase.


PLEASE NOTE - Feedback is very important to ebay sellers. We can no longer leave feedback for buyers before it is received. Thank you for understanding.
