Description
Black 'N Blue - Without Love
Includes ONLY SIDE 1 of the direct metal master (DMM) for the album. The DMM is used to create the stampers (an inversion of the record) that the vinyl gets pressed onto. Each side of the album is a single DMM, so this piece is just for Side 1.
The DMM features the matrix/run-out GHS-24075-A-SH3 [ARC 'ɑ' logo] B-21615-SH3 SLM Δ10192 1-1 STERLING . The Allied Record Company (ARC) was a pressing plant in Los Angeles.
The DMM does have a few surface marks, but is surprisingly clean for its age. There is a dent on one side (see photo), but it looks to be just ouside the first grooves. This is more a collectible and not something you would expect to be able to play at home. But these are not easily found outside pressing plants and for those who collect, this is a great find.
