BONNIE RAITT - Streetlights

Item Description

Vinyl, , Specialty Records pressing
LP Album Reissue

Very late reissue, with label design introduced in 1983: off-white with light grey WB logo "watermarks", no faint horizontal lines, and no perimeter rim text. May be the last regular pressing from WB before they discontinued vinyl production.

The "WW" matrix suffix and Winchester rifle symbol in the runouts indicate that the metalwork for this release was intended for use at the Capitol Records Winchester pressing plant. But the 35mm/68-70mm dual pressing ring configuration is not consistent with a Capitol Records pressing. Instead, the "SP" etched in the runouts and the "E A S T" embossed around the spindle hole of the Side 2 label indicate a pressing at Specialty Records Corp. of Olyphant, PA, which is supported by the 35mm/68-70mm dual pressing ring configuration.
