Yes i should say that regardless it is always possible that you may in fact be absolutely right in this instance but my view is that the Tax stamping CAN be so random and misleading it cannot be used with any great deal of certainty about anything. So you may be right but it's hard to prove as you cannot rely on anything stamped in the centre...imho..ps i love your avatar pic ... |

Getting off-topic now, but an interesting trend is that several of us own identical pressings and the stampers being quoted here are quite narrow in range. For the A-side, 1G is (relatively) common in combination with others for example. 1A has been mentioned, 1P crops up too on early pressings. No mention of a 1R though, or most of the remaining G R A M O P ... sequence. Were they not used? All my double letter stampers begin either G or R, which would be sequentially correct. Of the 12 copies I have, I find I have 3 with 1RR / 1RG although I have made no conscious effort to collect different stamper letters. Not wanting to sound obsessive, but before I disappear up my own spindle-hole for good, has anyone made a list of known stamper combinations? |

That's the question I've been thinking about where are the other letters in the sequence they should be out there. But the thing that strikes me when we look at say P1/JR it has the early label.now for me that works fine for JR but if we think that 4000 copies can be made from one stamper this implies that we are up to 24000 copies by this point and the early label probably only runs to a couple of thousand so I can only conclude that either they must have damaged a lot of pressing plates before they got to the shop floor or they didn't use the gramophone sequence or if they did G can't be number one(probably get shot at for that). |

there is a caviat here, not withstanding that there could be missing - maybe faulty - stampers - please bare in mind that several pressing machines would be in use at the same time so a 1G could be just as early as a 1p, or in case of a big anticipated seller ( not LMD i admit ) a 2 GR etc etc...this would explain a so-called earlier label on a later stamped disc.... |

Just looking at the top of the list 1G/1G had PT on the push out and PZT on the dead wax by way of thinking surely PZT is a transitional code between ZT and PT I would expect to see G1/G1 with a ZT tax stamp in the dead wax surely. |

Wow. If I had known you were going to do that, WB, I could have saved you some heartache and pain. I compiled the same list when Bruce and I were working on the Parlophone book. I kept track of all the label variations along with the stampers and tax codes. Still, you verified what I observed. By the way, did you notice that some of the transcriptions on popsike were incorrect? [Aside: maybe that was the gold label PPM?] |

I think I might seek a copy of 'the Parlophone book' - where is it available from?. And Henry, I think you mean "bear" - that avatar really has made an impression on you hasn't it? |

Bruce sells the Parlophone book; I still haven't made a cent from it! Bruce's website |
