From the Vault № 41: NON — Pagan Muzak and the Myth of the First Pressing

There is no such thing as the first pressing of Pagan Muzak. There are several firsts, and the collector market has quietly agreed to forget that.

The locked grooves were cut differently across runs. I have three copies here. None of them agree.

What a first pressing is for

We want the first pressing because we want to stand closest to the moment. But the moment, in this case, was deliberately un-fixed.

Frank, is the second recording the one with the Walther microphone? If so this is a small sensation.

Have you compared it against the 1986 Japanese promo cut? Allegedly only 30 copies pressed.
