Good Quality Hindi Vinyl Pressings

[prem]

Odeon EPs have only one ring

so no way to recognize a first/early pressing odeon EP? Some of them have like a depressed area, does it mean anything (see pic). Some have a break away part for a 45 rpm adaptor.

You have to check the wax area and see if there’s a T1 on that. Even a double ring or an Angel doesn’t indicate a first press. Only if you see a T 1 on either side does it mean it’s a first press. A T1T1 on the wax is not a first press. Only a T1

Ah, I see. the above pic, it has 7TJE.577.T1 on the wax. So first pressing. Cool. thanx a lot.

Would this T1 theory be applicable to all of hmv labels like angel, odean emi, hmv, columbia etc. To EPs and LPs both.

Found T1 on some of my EPs. Also found T2.

 

[prem]

Yes. It applies to all Hindi lps and eps only pressed on Angel, Odeon, HMV and Columbia label

Can you please highlight the marking of T1?

The "T" markings are always at the end of the text/numeric string on the dead wax.

Reviving this thread after a long time.
Anybody please throw some light about the pressing quality and sound recording of Yeh Nazdeekiyan and Aitbaar (Bappi Lahiri).

How have you felt about the T1 and T2 being on separate sides of the same record?

What about Angel/Odeon pressings? The discussion should include such tidbits.
