Description

Genesis Abacab, released 1981 on Atlantic Records, catalog SD 19313. This copy exhibits all the markers associated with a first 1981 pressing: original pre-barcode jacket, custom multicolor Abacab labels, and deadwax inscriptions including ST-A-814776 with TOWNHOUSE stamp, indicating mastering at The Town House during the album’s initial production run.

The Townhouse mark is a key early identifier. Later US pressings often lack this specific combination of early lacquer numbers and mastering stamp. Based on visible matrix information and label style, this copy aligns with first-run 1981 production.

Produced by Genesis and engineered by Hugh Padgham. A pivotal transitional album blending progressive structure with tighter early 80s production. Includes:

• Abacab

• No Reply At All

• Me And Sarah Jane

• Keep It Dark

• Dodo

• Lurker

• Who Dunnit?

• Man On The Corner

• Like It Or Not

• Another Record

Grading (as provided):

Vinyl VG = Very Good

Cover VG = Very Good with visible edge and handling wear

Inner Sleeve EX = Excellent
