Original 1970 U.S. pressing of Alice Cooper – Easy Action on the pink Straight Records label, catalog WS 1845.
This is a Columbia Santa Maria pressing with early 1B / 1D lacquer designations.
Runout / deadwax markings:
Side A:
Ƨ / S-style Santa Maria marking
39648 WS 1845 A-1B
Additional production markings including a corrected / crossed-out digit
Side B:
S-style Santa Maria marking
39649 WS 1845 B-1D
Additional production markings
The etched S / backwards-S style markings are associated with Columbia's Santa Maria pressing plant.
The pink Straight labels identify ALICE COOPER but do not display the EASY ACTION album title, an interesting label characteristic of this copy.
The crossed-out deadwax marking appears to be a factory production / metalwork correction. It is shown and described for accuracy; no claim is being made that it represents a unique audio mix or separate mispress.
IMPORTANT:
This listing is for the VINYL RECORD ONLY.
The original gatefold jacket and inner sleeve are NOT included.
The vinyl shows visible scratches, scuffs and normal surface wear from age/use. Please examine the close-up photographs carefully for exact condition.
