original pressing
Initial record production
An original pressing is a vinyl record manufactured during the initial production run, as opposed to later reissues or remastered editions.
Collectors prize original pressings for their historical authenticity and often claim superior sound quality, since subsequent pressings may use different masters or manufacturing processes: I found an original pressing of *Kind of Blue* at the estate sale.
