Hello everyone, I ask for your help to get some information. In the 60s King record imported stampers from the UK for classical music records, so in the runout it indicated the same matrix as the corresponding Decca UK but added its own SDLB code at 12 o'clock which was made up of a progressive processing number and three X/X/X numbers which could vary for the same print: does anyone have any idea what those numbers mean? Many thanks to anyone who wants to answer
Some compilation with 2 records like Mantovani Latin Double Deluxe and a large difference between matrixes, it could be an older matrix from a previous issue used for repress.
I'll give you an example to make it clearer. I have three copies of the King record SLC1065 disc that uses the UK ZAL5036 1E matrix: in one copy in the runout (dedwax) I have the writing SDLB 1/2/2, in the second SDLB 1/2/3, in the third SDLB 2/1/2. Does any Japanese enthusiast know if King record received from Decca a mother stamper or one or more stampers to explain these different numbers with the SDLB prefix? Thanks to everyone for the help
