Item Description

Vinyl, , 1st edition, Winchester Pressing
LP Album

First release with the original 3:40 'album version' of 'Hungry Like the Wolf' with A-side matrix numbers ST-1-12211-Z19
This particular Winchester pressing of Duran Duran's 'Rio' Harvest ST-12211 had been mastered by [l267122] and is most similar to other Winchester pressing [r764139] except this pressing has [l267122] 'Precision' etched in it's runouts along with the Winchester '─◁' symbol and another Winchester pressing has stamps from both [l265641] and [l186075] as well as a mastering credit etched by [a360250] in one of it's variant's runouts.
There are several variants of later re-issues with the same catalogue number, but different matrix numbers, playing longer versions on side A, the so-called 'Kershenbaum remixes'.
This first release of Rio has been pressed at [l313656].
Different lacquers had been used for these pressings and had been mastered at [l265641] and [l267122]
, in-contract, at [l186075]

Gold-Stamp promos exist with messaging on top right corner of cover "Property of Capitol Records, Inc. This Album is on loan for PROMOTIONAL USES ONLY." Letter and 6 digit number combinations are stamped on each, as identifiers (example in hand is L 008852).

[Note on the different US releases of 'Rio':]
All 'Rio' lacquers, cut in-contract by TML and Precision Mastering, show a "Z" in the runout matrix and had been consecutively numbered.
Except Z-1 and Z-4, the numbering system counts A- and B-side lacquers separately and was used for all three album variants.
By these Z-numbers, the pressing plant, the album variant and the side of the record can be identified:
[l313266]: Z4 (Var.1,A+B)
[l314605]: Z1 (Var.1, A+B) / Z8 (Var.2+3, B) / Z12 (Var.3, B) / Z13 (Var.2, A) / Z16 (Var.3, A) / Z17 (Var.3, A) / Z20 (Var.3, A)
[l313656]: Z2 (Var.1, B) / Z5 (Var.1, A) / Z6 (Var.1, B) / Z9 (Var.2, B) / Z10 (Var.3, B) / Z11 (Var.3, B) / Z15 (Var.2, A) / Z18 (Var.3, A) / Z19 (Var.3, A)
