Description

Record is in VG+ condition Jacket has a hole punch in upper right hand corner.


According to Chat Gpt:

• Label: Harvest Records

• Catalog Number: ST-1-11078

• Runout: F21 “Wally” (indicates mastering by Wally Traugott, a respected Capitol Records mastering engineer)

Factors Boosting Value:

• “Wally” mastering copies are especially sought after by audiophiles for their superior sound quality.

• Harvest label pressings are collectible, especially U.S. originals with Capitol Records


Later pressings often lack the “Wally” etching or use different catalog conventions.


Yes, ST-11078 with “Wally” in the runout is a first U.S. pressing of Obscured by Clouds by Pink Floyd.


Details confirming it’s a first U.S. pressing:

• Label: Harvest Records (green label with logo on top)

• Catalog #: ST-11078

• Mastered by Wally Traugott (“Wally” etched in runout) – used on original 1972 U.S. Capitol/Harvest pressings


• ST-1-11078 in the runout

• “Wally” etched

• Harvest green label

Then you have a first U.S. pressing from 1972.


• The matrix/runout for first pressings often reads something like:


ST-1-11078 F21 #2 Wally / ST-2-11078 F26 Wly
