  • How to Identify a first pressing record, (45 rpm) by just looking at it?

    I always went with the toffee hammer theory.

    Place the record on a hard surface and give it a good whack with a toffee hammer. If it breaks up like toffee, it's the first press. With the later pressings the hammer will be rejected by the vinyls. Here is an example of the first press:

    After being a strut member for a decade I just realised I'm a little late in flossing, but let's give it a go.

    Motown green&whites and a Lee Konitz 10" acetate were nice cheap finds you don't find often out in the field, as was the Australian press of the Coltrane album with the different sleeve. Joe Harriot and Kyoto Jazz Sextet are great.

    P.S. Don't seem to be able to create a new post, only a reply with quote boxes all around on ipad but not i.e.? and the entire post is in italics on ipad, but not i,e.
