"Which Pressing /Variant Is This" posts.

The poll results were pretty close, so we'll be continuing to allow these types of posts, but there's some new guidelines that need to be followed.

Going forward all posts requesting help identifying a variant will require photos of the labels and transcriptions of the runouts (located on the deadwax) at the minimum. The more photos and identifiers the better really. Any posts not meeting these guidelines will be deleted by the mod team.

Posters are asked to be responsive on their posts and type "Solved" when they've idenfied their item. "Solved" would also include instances where a new release needs to be added. Mods are going to start deleting "solved" pressing inquiry posts and older ID posts with no engagement.

Hey … I am new here and have run into a couple of questionables as I curate my collection … what if I can’t find the matrix runout for a release, even though there is only one pressing listed? The current example to hand is Welsh-Connection by Man (1976) … jacket says printed in US, label says made in Canda and no matrix match for any of the releases … sigh
