1981 US pressing, Columbia FC 37152, pressed at Santa Maria
The etched S in this copy's runout places it at Columbia's plant in Santa Maria, California, one of several that pressed FC 37152 in 1981.
The object
A single LP whose lacquers were cut at Masterdisk: MASTERDISK is stamped into the runout on both sides, beside the etched initials BK. The lacquer numbers read AL-37152-1J on side A and BL-37152-1F on side B.
The front cover bills the three guitarists as Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin and Paco De Lucía, in that order.
Context
This is an original-year issue: the album and this pressing both date from 1981, decades ahead of the reissues that followed.
The album
The concert itself, a Friday night at the Warfield Theatre in December 1980, is the album page's subject rather than this one's.
