This Fleetwood Mac's Rumours (catalog number BSK 3010) is the original 1977 US vinyl LP release on Warner Bros. Records. This iconic album, recorded during a period of intense personal turmoil within the band, went on to become one of the best-selling albums of all time. The BSK 3010 pressing is highly sought after by collectors, especially early pressings from 1977,
The dead wax markings — BSK-1-3010 SM3 F13 with "Terre Haute" scratched in, JX, and "Mastered by Capitol" stamped — identify this copy as a 1977 US first pressing of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, pressed at the Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Terre Haute.
SM3: Indicates the stamper was sourced from Santa Maria (SM), a common practice where stampers were shared across Columbia plants. F13: The specific stamper/father used for this pressing. "Terre Haute" scratched in: Confirms the physical pressing location. "JX": Likely a plating or quality control code from the Terre Haute plant. "Mastered by Capitol" stamped: Confirms the lacquers were cut at Capitol Mastering, This hybrid pressing (Santa Maria stamper, Terre Haute pressing) is a known variant of the original BSK 3010 release and is authentic. The stamped "Mastered by Capitol" text, rather than etched, is consistent with some early Terre Haute pressings.
The SM3 F13 stamper is well-regarded for sound quality, and Terre Haute pressings are increasingly sought after.
"JX" likely identifies a specific plating batch, stamper generation, or production run at Terre Haute and is not related to sound quality or mastering. It's common for plant-specific codes like this to be unique to one facility and not found on pressings from other plants (e.g., Santa Maria, Pitman, or Los Angeles).
