Gandalf

Differences in appearance between this Los Angeles pressing and the other authentic Scranton pressing are as follows: Labels: The LA pressing features a matte, flat black background with no discernable patterns. Conversely, the Scranton pressing features concentric circles in its black portion. Mild differences in fonts/layouts. The LA pressing features the band name/album title (Gandalf/Gandalf) on the labels being on top of each other, but off-set. Conversely, the Scranton pressings have the Gandalf/Gandalf texts aligned. Sleeves: The LA pressing features a factory code (the number/letter found near the bottom-right of the rear sleeve) of 20. The Scranton pressing contains a factory code of 11. They are otherwise identical. The sleeves of both versions have a slick pasted over the front leaving the captions ''File under: Rock'' and ''ST 121'' in the top hand right corner. Often seen with a "FREE" stamp and/or punch holes. These have been present on both variations. Please take note that a counterfeit pressing exists. They tend to feature a producer credit underneath the band/album names on the label. This producer credit is not featured on authentic pressings.
