THE YARDBIRDS - FOR YOUR LOVE / HEART FULL OF SOUL
UK 7", OG-9109 A1 / B1
ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE SET OF
2 x ORIGINAL ONE-SIDED METAL POSITIVE ("MOTHER") STAMPERS!!!
Background Info:
The manufacturing process starts with the Lacquer disc being created in the cutting room. This is too delicate to even play without damage and needs toughening up. So the Lacquer disc is coated with silver, which makes it conductive for the next process, which is electroplating it with nickel. The nickel is then separated from the Lacquer giving the disc ridges where the grooves would normally be. This is known as a Negative copy.
Even though it is made of metal, it is too delicate to use to make pressings. This disc is known as the Master and there is only one produced.
The next stage is the Mother. This is made from the Master by a similar process of electroplating. It is feasible to create up to around four Mothers but for the highest quality recordings this is restricted to two. The Mother has grooves once again and is playable.
From the Mother, Stampers are produced - up to six from each Mother. Once again these are Negatives and are given a smooth chromium surface. The Stampers, two per record (Side A and Side are placed in presses and heated with steam before clamping down onto a cake of vinyl raw material. The result is a Pressing which after trimming and packaging is the record that is sold in the shops.
Mother Stampers are normally destroyed after its initial run and very rarely ever make it out to the public as these are often destroyed. This particular Mother Stamper is an original COMPLETE SET produced for both sides of the UK issued 7" single "FOR YOUR LOVE / HEART FULL OF SOUL". This is possibly the only surviving set of metal plates for this single, to come out of the pressing plant and is one of the Yardbirds / Jeff Beck / Eric Clapton premiere worldwide collectibles.
