Theothertosspot Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Not sure if this has been asked before, but here goes. Does the MGM press of this have the “bed” stamp in the runout and is it the original press? Thanks in advance Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mgm 1251 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Hi .... I thought it came out on Mirwood...? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Theothertosspot Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Yes it is on Mirwood, but pressed at MGM pressing plant I think, as it has the “bed” stamp in the runout groove. Perhaps should have mentioned in original posting. Edited February 13, 2022 by Theothertosspot Added some Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Solidsoul Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) The standard original of Richard Temple has a Stamped H in the runout grooves. This signifies it was made at the RCA Victor (Hollywood) pressing plant. Also there are some originals that were made at MGM pressing plant. I would think that they have the "bed" stamp. Other MGM pressed Mirwoods have the bed stamp. Mirwood has no rules as to which is first, because they used various different suppliers to make their records. For instance, a lot of there releases were manufactured in styrene by the Monarch record pressing plant. Who would know now, which original copies rolled out of which factory first?

Angus Westfields Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 The MGM pressing should bear this I believe.....(taken from Discogs) Pressing Plant ID (A&B runout): Block-shaped "S" stamp Matrix / Runout (A label): 67-3090-A Matrix / Runout (B label): 67-3091-B Matrix / Runout (A runout etched): 67-3090 A 11 SM Matrix / Runout (B runout etched): 67-3091 B 11 SM if that helps any? 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Garethx Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 The MGM presses are from the factory in Bloomfield New Jersey. As stated above West Coast presses are by RCA Hollywood. I think the East Coast ones are a bit less common. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Yes it has the block shaped “S” stamp (I have always, as others do, refer to it as a “bed”). And the bottom two matrix are in the runout also, the 11 is stamped. Thanks for info, much appreciated. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
