USA PROMO STAMPED SLEEVE FIRST PRESSING VINYL LP IN GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER SLEEVE.
You will not get a more '1st' pressing of this Michael Jackson classic than this copy - which bears first generation masters/stampers and was pressed at Columbia's Terra Haute, Indiana pressing plant. This copy was probably pressed before the album was actually released, making it one of the earliest, and therefore closest to the original master tapes, ever made. It sure sounds like it...
MATRIX NUMBERS IN RUN-OFF GROOVES: SIDE A: PAL - 40600 - 1E D G1 D35 / SIDE B: PBL - 40600 - 1A G1 H-18.
A note about Columbia first pressings:
Columbia Records would often cut six (or more) lacquers at the same time for high demand records. Multiple lacquers would be cut and sent to various pressing plants so that they could have more than one plant pressing the records at the same time.
Columbia used XSM, MAL, XLP, and consecutive numbers for each side, or PAL and PBL prefixes for sides 1 and 2 of their albums. The coding of the lacquers with letters allowed the lacquers to be assigned to different pressing plants. A and B suffixes for the Santa Maria, Ca. pressing plant, C and D for Terra Haute, In. and E and F for Pitman N.J. Six (or more) sets of lacquers were usually cut for any big-name artist, so the very first mastering would be 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, and 1F. This changed over the years (pressing plants opened or closed), so A and E lacquers were known to be sent to the Terra Haute, Indiana pressing plant, B and D lacquers the Pitman, New Jersey pressing plant, C laquers were sent to the Santa Maria, California pressing plant, and G and H were sent to the Carrollton, Georgia plant. Thus a record with a 1A in the matrix could easily have been pressed at the same time as a record with a 1B in the matrix. They were just pressed at different pressing plants.
SLEEVE: VERY GOOD+, JUST LIGHT SHELF, CORNER AND EDGE WEAR. GOLD PROMO STAMP OVER BAR CODE ON REAR. INNER SLEEVE VERY GOOD BUT HAS SIDE MIDDLE SEAM SPLITS.
DISC: EXCELLENT. NO SCRATCHES AND NO SPINDLE WEAR. DISC DOES NOT LOOK AS IF IT HAS BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE, IF THAT. CLEAN LABELS.
