Re: Charity Shop Bargain?

Masterdisk was/is an American mastering outfit who were pretty highly regarded in the 1980s. Their work can be heard on other LPs from the same era such as "H2O" by Hall & Oates and "The Nightfly" by Donald Fagen.
What the Masterdisk lettering means is that you have probably got one of the first generation pressings from the original metalwork.
Subsequent copy masters for expanded European distribution if the record sold well were often made at "RS Alsdorf" in the then West Germany and were generally regarded as having a slightly warmer less incisive sound than the Masterdisk originals.
Hope that helps
Steve
