musictom SUBS 25th Jan 2016 |  | Vinyl AlbumLed Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin [IV] | I believe the promo copy is from Monarch even though it does not indicate so on the labels: MR in a circle and delta numbers in dead wax. A myriad of other markings also.

musictom SUBS 17th Jan 2016 |  | Vinyl AlbumElton John - 11-17-70 | 2nd set of images added without album title. Pressed, I believe, by MCA, Pickneyville, IL.

musictom SUBS 17th Jan 2016 |  | Vinyl AlbumJefferson Airplane - The Worst Of Jefferson Airplane | I'll check out some of my RCA Dynaflexs when I get a chance.
|
musictom SUBS 17th Jan 2016 |  | Vinyl AlbumJethro Tull - This Was | Green labels added. In deadwax the original Reprise catalog number "RS 6336" is crossed out.
|
musictom SUBS 15th Jan 2016 |  | Vinyl AlbumJefferson Airplane - The Worst Of Jefferson Airplane | Rigid, definitely not Dynaflex.
|
musictom SUBS 15th Jan 2016 |  | Vinyl AlbumGarland Jeffreys - Ghost Writer | ReviewThis is an absolutely wonderful album, especially side 2. If I recall correctly, Rolling Stone called it album of the year for 1977.

musictom SUBS 15th Jan 2016 |  | Vinyl AlbumJefferson Starship - Red Octopus | My record {946659 - 946660} has the previous cat # BFL1 scratched out in deadwax and replaced with BXL1.
|
musictom SUBS 14th Jan 2016 |  | Vinyl AlbumJan And Dean - Gotta Take That One Last Ride | It could also indicate a promotional copy. Often if they have run out of the specially made promo copies, they will take a stock copy and mark it in some way to inhibit sales.
On cutouts, one other difference is there is no return policy. Meaning the stores and/or distributors cannot return the product for any credit.
|
musictom SUBS 14th Jan 2016 |  | Vinyl AlbumJan And Dean - Jan & Dean Anthology Album | Here is another set of images from original issue, I believe.
|
musictom SUBS 14th Jan 2016 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - Look Sharp! | With acknowledgement to Plaatjesman, here is a clearer set of stock images, pressed by Columbia, Terre Haute.
|
musictom SUBS 13th Jan 2016 |  | Vinyl AlbumDan Hill - Longer Fuse | A side image {945488} seems to show marks for Columbia, Santa Maria. The B side
{945489} seems to indicate Terre Haute. As I obtained this at their Los Angeles distributor and Santa Maria pressed most (or all) of their west coast product, I'd assume this to be a Santa Maria product.

musictom SUBS 13th Jan 2016 |  | Vinyl AlbumBuddy Holly - Greatest Hits | Hard to see on the labels but the cat# and matrix# are on the green part of the label.
|
musictom SUBS 13th Jan 2016 |  | Vinyl AlbumAl Green - Greatest Hits Volume II | This is likely the last album released under the London distribution agreement.
|
musictom SUBS 13th Jan 2016 |  | Vinyl AlbumTom T. Hall - Country Is | On promo copy deadwax markings include SRM-1-711 with 711 scratched out and replaced by handwritten 1009. Likely 1-711 was the originally intended catalog number. The 1000 series was started with a higher list price.

musictom SUBS 11th Jan 2016 |  | Vinyl AlbumFresh [UK] - Fresh Today | I don't believe this group has anything to do with the late 70s group on Prodigal.
|
musictom SUBS 10th Jan 2016 |  | Vinyl AlbumSpirit - The Family That Plays Together | The motel on the cover was across the street from Hollywood High School on Sunset Blvd. The $6 in the window was there for many years. I believe the address is 6830 Sunset Blvd. Today it is a Budget Inn.

musictom SUBS 10th Jan 2016 |  | Vinyl AlbumElectric Light Orchestra - Out Of The Blue | Couldn't have been too much later as it switched to CBS distribution in the middle of its chart run.
|
musictom SUBS 7th Jan 2016 |  | Vinyl AlbumElectric Light Orchestra - Out Of The Blue | I believe my images {937909 & 937910} plus 467939 - 467940 are from Columbia, Pitman, NJ.
|
musictom SUBS 7th Jan 2016 |  | Vinyl AlbumElectric Light Orchestra - Out Of The Blue | This was an interesting one from a retail perspective. When CBS took over Jet distribution, they re-released this under the CBS consolidated numbering scheme. UA (Capitol?) dumped all their inventory into the cutout market. So you had a situation where a high charting album could be purchased for full price or at a discount from the cut-out bins.

musictom SUBS 6th Jan 2016 |  | Vinyl AlbumShakey Jake - Good Times | I have a feeling this is not a U.S. Release: Mention of European distribution at bottom of rear cover, sticker on label.
