I believe this is an original 1970 press, but I can't match it up with specific discogs matrices which provide the information on the pressing plant. The matrices I can see are:
Matrix / Runout (A, etched): WS-1893 39804-1 Artisan Sound Recorders logo Matrix / Runout (B, etched): WS-1893-39805-1 Artisan Sound Recorders logo
No visible pressing plant ID such as the "p" that is supposed to be in this very matrix for a Pitman press.
Jacket with moderate to heavy corner and edge wear, spine paper peeling revealing a split about to happen, no such wear on bottom or top edge, no marks, light ring front and back jacket. LP stored in original Warner inner sleeve, split on top and one side 3-5". LP LOOKS PLAYABLE with a light scratch or two visible over clean vinyl, I'll conservatively grade in the VG+ to VG++ range (I was leaning toward a straight VG++).
