Runout inscriptions are stamped. Some of the stamped inscriptions might be lightly stamped on the surface, and therefore cannot be transcribed with 100% accuracy, e.g. runout/matrix variant 6, side A, "3" in "A13" is only partially recognizable, but the parts of it that are embedded in deadwax clearly point that this is a number 3. Some parts of inscriptions can also be rotated by 180°, and therefore appear upside-down and pointing in another direction in comparison to the rest of the runout inscriptions, e.g. runout/matrix variant 6, side B "1 - 2A".

Such a good record and pressing, etc. Silent, wide separation, bass and midrange well balanced. Appears to be pressed at , Polygram Industries Messageries, and the lacquer cut on West , as the vinyl label show. This's the Sting debut album as soloist. -
Sound of this in my view is very good and authentic - big difference from compressed versions. I smiled when lowered the stylus on it :)
