For a long time it has seemed that the matrix number A4RS-2682-2 on Side 1 and A4RS-2684-2 on Side 2 were used on all pressings throughout the 70s.
Seems this is not the case...
I've been investigating listings on ebay trying to dig deeper into this. So far the information gathered here has been consistent.
However, a recent listing of a pressing with the TS-310 on the label has revealed the following matrix number: D5RS-7651-1.
This further reinforces the information but it does bring up the interesting point that represses began early thus narrowing down what is meant be an "original" pressing to a period of about two or three years.
According to RCA's code for pressing information the 'D' makes it a 1974 pressing, the '5' indicates that it was a lacquer provided by a non-RCA studio. The 7651-1 would be the master information.
Not sure where the lacquer would have been cut. Anyone have any idea?
