BronYrAur5231 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Haha me again lol. This time with a Houses of the Holy 1st pressing? I'll post pics and info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronYrAur5231 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Now, let me explain. I came across this at a flea market in Myrtle beach. Don't have HOTH at the time so I figured what the crap. On the first side the matrix says ST-A-732783-A, AT, Sterling RL, and then(upside down) it says PR. On side two it says in the matrix ST-A-732784-E, And AT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glyn Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I'll go ahead and dissect the matrix info this time (definitions taken from Steve Hoffman forum) ST: Stereo A: Atlantic 73: master tape first sent to Atlantic in 1973 2783: master tape catalog number A: First lacquer cutting (A=first, B=second, so on) AT: Record mastered by or for Atlantic STERLING: record mastered at Sterling in New York RL: Robert Ludwig, mastering engineer PR: metal parts made at Philips in Richmond, Indiana This all applies to the second side, although it would appear that side two is the fifth lacquer cutting (E). Do the back of the album cover (and the record label) show the 1841 Broadway address for Atlantic? I have an early release of this as well, mine is E and D though (fifth and sixth lacquer cutting).

BronYrAur5231 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 I don't have the sleeve but the adress on the record is the Rockefeller adress and talks about Warner music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glyn Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 The Rockefeller address tells me that it's a later pressing, the address changed to Rockefeller (I believe) sometime in 1974. The earlier pressings had the Broadway address. Still though, it's a Robert Ludwig mastered at Sterling, I bet it sounds pretty good. Is the vinyl thick or thin? Edit: Does side two say Sterling or RL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronYrAur5231 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Side two just says the number and AT. The vinyl is thicker than most. Sounds really nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
