I would say the opposite is the case as you can read here
"An EMI Recording " on one line used between Nov 68 - summer 69 thereafter on two lines, as the album ran from Nov 68, would this make one line first pressings more desirable. |

Usually speed is the main factor involved. I would make a guess that what actually happened is no one gave a fig about what the stamper number was apart from the fella who made the negative/positive lacquers and stampers themselves. Once on the machine they just whack out the copies until the stamper wears out. In the packing dept - which is what you see in photo, the ladies were probably delivered the vinyl by trolly (that's one on the left). The record discs in this photo are delivered to the desk sandwiched between what looks like thick felt discs to me, on the desk in front you can see separate piles of the inner & outer sleeves. No doubt out of shot was a lad who had to go round and collect bundles of the finished items on another trolly. Quote:
 to show that when putting albums together, even ones numbered like the white album, what you actually get in the way of the order of vinyl being pressed could be very very random. I would have imagined that there were several pressing all working at once - a couple of 1000 pressings then moved to the packing department who would have started from the top of the pile (with higher numbers) and not the bottom of the pile.

Surely if this was the "Absolute" first copy then the matrix and stampers should be
Side 1: -1/1G Side 2: -1/1G Side 3: -1/1G Side 4: -1/1G never trust matrix numbers to be an indicator of a 'first pressing', if you do get a 1/1 matrix number on a massive selling LP then it is most likely to indicate a 'repressing' made many years later. Unscrupulous ebay sellers might switch sleeves. Edited by albert on 11th Jul 2019, 12:18 AM |
