VINYL SCANNER FOR SERIOUS COLLECTORS

EXACT PRESSINGS.
NOT JUST ALBUMS.

First Press reads the label and the run-out etchings to pin down the exact pressing you are holding — then prices that pressing, by condition, from the live marketplace. Not the album. The pressing.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

MOST SCANNERS STOP AT THE ALBUM.

An album has one title and hundreds of pressings. A 1969 UK first press and a 1978 repress share a cover, a tracklist and often a catalogue number — and differ in price by a factor of fifty. Match the album and the number you get is meaningless. We read the label and the run-out etchings, rank the pressings that fit, and show you why each one matched.

THE DEADWAX IS THE RUN-OUT GROOVE — WHERE THE PRESSING IS ETCHED.
