Hello all,
to my good fortune, i recently came upon a stash of records, containing the Quadrophenia album by The Who. upon some comparison with an ad on EBay, it turns out that this particular copy may be from one of the first few batches of pressings, going by the alphanumeric codes on the inner "runout" of the record. can anyone provide a few pointers as to exact dating of a record in this way? websites, etc would be very helpful.
Some of the others in the stash include:
Beatles - Sgt Pepper's...
The Who - The Kids Are Alright
The Doors - The Soft Parade
Pink Floyd - Relics
Dire Straits - Love over Gold & Making Movies
Asia - Asia (self titled)
Police - Ghost in the Machine
Jefferson Starship - Earth
Jethro Tull - Heavy Horses & Live Bursting Out
Berliner Philharmoniker - "Beethoven Symphonie Nr.5"
Moody Blues - Octave & The Present
Supertramp - Breakfast in America & Crime of the Century
Eagles - The Long Run
Genesis - Genesis (Self titled) & Duke
Wings - London Town
Blood, Sweat & Tears (Self titled)
JJ Cale - Naturally
...and lots more. PHEW!!!! Almost all in mint condition. I'll be thanking my stars for another few decades.
cheers
