I just got a copy at Tower Records in Shibuya today, mine has the following
9102012 1Y//1 M 14 4 BILBO "N' QUACKERS!
9102012 2Y//3 M 11 5 13 BILBO MASTER ROOM.
Also side 1 has BORDERLNE spelling on the label and BORDERLINE on the back sleeve.
Any ideas what is going on here? -
Bought this at a vinyl fair recently. It was marked as excellent for both record and sleeve and was exactly as described when inspected and played. This was incredibly clear and punchy for its time. It might be the best 'sounding' Lizzy lp even if I tend to think it's the weakest of their classic run; this is still excellent, mind you. I have heard a few digital rips of this, and somewhere down the line, 'Fools Gold' developed some sort of distracting artifact that lasted a few seconds, around the middle of the song, until hearing this release I thought it was a recording error, happy to say this is not the case, as this beaut played the song unscathed.

I need some help with referencing my copy if anyone can help please?
SR-1-1119 Mercury 1976
Run outs SRM-1-1119-A13. &
SRM-1-1119-B12
Not sure which version this would fall under -
Sadly I don't have the inner sleeve, and the condition of my copy could be better, However the vinyl is in great shape altogether and the sounds is just... mindblowing. This is the first pressing, and I have to say I'm drawn to first pressings because of my expreience with this record. I use a simple AT95E cartridge but it still produces such an amazing quality it blows my mind. One of the best listening experiences I had is with the first song on the B side, "Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed". Phenomenal. -
Classic Thin Lizzy with their power line up. Just a great representation of Thin Lizzy at their best. Always more than just a rock band. One of the most underrated bands of all time. -
