from the net :
For Decca's SXL classical LPs, the typical number of test pressings produced would likely fall within the range of 5 to 10 copies per album, although the exact number could vary depending on the specific recording and quality control standards of the time.
Labels state : Factory Sample - NOTICE - This Pressing is not necessarily representative of the finished record and must not be used for review purposes .
STAMPED matrix numbers are : ZAL-4093-3W / ZAL-4094-3W ( at the three o'clock position , on both sides is what looks like a D but its slightly rounded and could be a B , which , from what info i have found , has to be a B , because they didn't use the letter D for the single letter mother stampers . B , by the way , is the very first mother stamper ! , the "Buckingham code" . more info below )
record is VG to VG+ ( very nice overall with a few light lines/marks/light scratches , a very few of which are ever so slightly feelable with the edge of a fingernail . i spot checked a few places and it played in those spots very well , with just some normal surface static/noise , and a few minor ticks . still an enjoyable listen , in my opinion . labels as shown with release info stamps . VERY RARE ! )
laminated cover is VG ( normal wear , minor ring/rubwear , minor spotting , seam is starting to split on bottom , see pics )
Mother Stamper info , also from the net :
But perhaps most important is the Buckingham code that follows that indicates the mother number as follows. The best pressing will of course be a single letter.
