Cat.# "256919 -1" on back cover, "256 919 -1" on labels and "256 919-1" inner sleeve.

Originally lacquer cut at Masterdisk (as seen inside the runout groove).
Masters were plated in the US at Specialty Records Corporation (SRC), mastered and pressed at Record Service Alsdorf as identified by their specific pattern in the runouts: "SP", "R/S Alsdorf" and the country code "SP-GER" or "SP GER".

Runout inscriptions contain etched and stamped parts. Main matrix number with R/S Alsdorf and side indicators is always stamped, e.g. 'R/S Alsdorf 229 256919-1-A' and 'R/S Alsdorf 229 256919-1-B'. 'MASTERDISK' is stamped on some variants, and etched on the others. The rest of runout inscriptions is etched.

His brother was a cartoonist, my grandfather too, they met because of this and worked together, his brother phil offered a signed vinyl of this one, with the name of the siblings of my father. I still haven't seen it i have to go to take it
jasonsouza77inusa Mar 1, 2025
i hv heard "another day" countless times on radio and the OG CD. but only on this europe OG LP i could actually hear david crosby's bckg vocals clearly. masterdisk in deadwax despite being a non US pressing
LordFarquad Jan 8, 2024
Really good pressing, everything is well-balanced and clear. There is some slight sibillance at the end of each side, but not really annoying.

This Europian pressing sounds great. The sound is fresh, warm, punchy and crispy. Here is no need for something better sounding. Probably will 45RPM sound better but this thing sounds on 33RPM audiophile too.
clickspin Mar 15, 2023
This pressing has great dynamics, quiet vinyl, and is cleanly manufactured on a fresh stamper. The Virgin version https://discogs.librosgratis.biz/release/7922759-Phil-Collins-But-Seriously has similar dynamics but much noisier vinyl.

Great press, clear and loud, really enjoy it. Playing this using an ortofon Concorde Twin Pack, blue and orange. Greeting from Lima, Peru
Alfaces Oct 16, 2022
What can I say? This sounds amazing. Picked up a copy of this in NM condition for an amazing price, I'm so lucky.

This release sounds really really good given how long the entire record is. I am impressed. [ Playing this using an Ortofon 2M Black cartridge ]

I do like Phil’s contemplative look on the front cover of this album. It is almost as if he is thinking of something very serious, such as the worsening climate crisis faced by humanity. Although when this album was made, that wasn’t a thing. So perhaps he is thinking about something else. Maybe he is thinking “did I to lock the front door when I left the house this morning?” Sometimes I think about that when I am out at the shops, and I have to go home to check!!
