Description
This The Police – Synchronicity LP pressed on KC-600 audiophile vinyl is a sought-after original 1983 US release by A&M Records (catalog number SP-3735). This specific pressing was manufactured using Keysor-Century's KC-600 vinyl compound, known for its high fidelity and durability, and was marketed as an audiophile-grade record.
Key Features of the KC-600 Pressing:Vinyl Appearance: While the record appears black under normal light, it has a translucent purple hue when held up to a light source, a characteristic of the KC-600 compound. Hype Sticker: Original pressings came with a blue hype sticker on the shrink wrap, promoting the album as being on "KC-600 Audiophile Vinyl". Some users have noted variations in sticker color (blue or yellow), but blue is the most commonly documented for this release. Cover Variants: The US LP features the Blue/Red/Yellow (BRY) front cover with surreal, segmented images of the band members. Variants include different arrangements of the members and specific imagery (e.g., "skull - mid").Matrix/Runout Etchings: Look for "MASTERDISK RL" in the dead wax, indicating it was cut by Bob Ludwig at Masterdisk. The runouts may also include identifiers like "KC-600", "RE-EUR-1", and plant codes (e.g., "MR" for Monarch Record Mfg. Co.).Inner Sleeve: Includes a custom printed inner sleeve with lyrics, credits, and photos.
Regarding "Yellow Hype Sticker" and "Promo Cut Slit":There is no widespread documentation of a yellow hype sticker for the KC-600 version—most verified copies show a blue sticker. A "promo cut slit" (a small cut in the shrink wrap or cover on lower left of cover) typically denotes a promotional copy distributed to radio stations or reviewers. While promo versions exist, they are less common. So it's a RARE copy
