20 Golden Hits In Full Colour Sleeves - Box Set
Catalogue Number : RCA PP - 11340
Year Release : July 1978
Brief History : This was a 10 x 45 set of singles released in a box set. It is a "Collectors' Series" Limited Edition. They were all released with picture sleeves. Each record was pressed on black vinyl with the dog near the top. All songs were previously released in one form or another. The 10 records here were released in the previous box set "15 Golden Records". Catalogue numbers were also the same. The differences however were the trail off matrix numbers that differed by the end letter "N" been hand etched. There is a symbol in the run off wax as well and I need to find out what that means as there is no other markings to tell what plant was used to press these. Also the labels are raised & jagged at the tops. The silver lettering on these black vinyl labels is a bright silver were on the previous box set it is a dull silver lettering. The catalogue numbers with PB are not in the trail of wax.
*NOTE* To my knowledge this is the first time that these labels have been documented with the raised & jagged edges. Date documented 29th March 2015 @ 15.25 PM.
*NOTE* Above photo of the front cover. The rear cover is identical. The Catalogue number for the box set is on the top just below RCA Records.. The inside of the left opening flap is the number 21-107-16 PT 1. Each of the 10 records have there own catalogue numbers.
