ERIC CLAPTON - History Of Eric Clapton

Item Description

2 x Vinyl, , CP
LP Compilation

Initial yellow ATCO labels without Ⓦ Warner Communications credit at the rim wording.
Printed matrix with suffix CP > [Columbia Pitman] > The P credit on sides A/B confirm this. However, runouts on all sides contain "PR-CO" indicating Presswell ('-CO' indicating Columbia). But Sides 2 through 4 have the 2.703125" pressing ring customary on Columbia pressings, Side 1 has an approx. 2.71875" deep groove, and the center label paper is glossy (whereas Presswell copies would have used uncoated paper for the labels).

Other pressing plant variations:
- PR [r=1662954]
- RI [r=5785611]

Release is NOT auto-coupled:
"In this two record set, Side One is back with Side Two and Side Three is backed with Side Four"
