Notes
The TML-M inscription indicates that the lacquer was cut at The Mastering Lab using their Master Scully lathe, representing the primary lacquer from a simultaneous cutting session. The PAL 33695 code identifies the Columbia matrix for the side, confirming it as an original Columbia mastering. The IF code points to Santa Maria metalwork, meaning the record was pressed at Columbia’s Santa Maria plant. These details show that this is an early, high-quality US pressing made from first-generation TML lacquer work.
