Manufactured: Factory A Factory Communications Product: FCL Stereo 33RPM Publishing: Bemusic Inner sleeve carries Factory anvil+cog logo plus FCL Nr. 50 Note: The vinyl comes in different colour variations, only visible when held up against a strong light source: Translucent purple or translucent red or just translucent (and maybe also brown and green). These colors are the result of different vinyl formulations used accidently by the pressing plant, with purple apparently being the very first pressing. The first pressings have a run-out groove broadth of around 2 cm (later pressings are much narrower).

USA FIRST PRESSING VINYL LP IN SEMI-TRANSLUCENT BURGUNDY/RED/BROWN COLOR (IT IS HARD TO DETERMINE WHAT COLOUR BUT WHEN HELD TO THE LIGHT IT IS DEFINATELY SEMI-SEE THROUGH AND NOT BLACK) IN TEXTURED SLEEVE WITH ORIGINAL POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVE.

Why buy a first or early pressing and not a re-issue or a ‘re-mastered’ vinyl album?

First pressings are made from first generation lacquers and stampers. They usually sound vastly superior to later issues and re-issues (which are often pressed from whatever tapes or digital sources are currently available). First or early pressings nearly always have more immediacy, presence and dynamics. The sound staging is wider and subtle instrument nuances are better placed with more spacious textures. Balances are firmer in the bottom end with a far-tighter bass. Upper-mid ranges shine without harshness, and the overall depth is more immersive, with inner details more clearer. On first and early pressings, the music tends to sound more ‘alive’ and vibrant.
