Parlophone Decoding
Masters produced Mothers which then create Stampers. The Master is the matrix at the 6 o'clock position, the Mother is the number etched in the deadwax at the 9 o'clock location and the Stamper is identified by the letter(s) etched at the 3 o'clock postion. For the 3 o'clock position, Parlophone use the following coding: G R A M O P H L T D (Gramophone Ltd) where G=1, R=2, A=3, M=4, O=5, P=6, H=7, L=8, T=9 and D=0.
The Master was unique it was considered a Libray item.  For each Mother was pressed 300 records.

On this record:

Side 1. Mother = 1, Stamper = GO (10).  I.e. side 1 is pressed from the 1st Mother and
Side 2. Mother = 3, Stamper = GA (13)   side 3 from the 3rd Mother, which means that this copy is from the very early batches made ready for sale, hence quite rare.

Tax code "K and T" letters embossed on side 2

A rare record, well kept and not much played.

I apologize for the pictures lying down.
