    Hello, I'm looking at Nazareth (2) - Hair Of The Dog does not have the SX in the runout, just the T. Is this enough evidence to label this as a repress? Definitely a different sub, but should it be labeled a repress?

    I kind of compared it to the represses of Frank Ocean - Blonde, GZ media pressing, where they put out another batch and use a different lacquers. From GZ Media's page "The so called matrix (stamper) numbers are not exactly matrix (stamper) numbers, but metal parts numbers - either for metal mothers or DMM copper plates. Therefore /A or /B indexes. Every copper plate cut (or a mother plate produced from a lacquer) receives an unique number consisting of a "premaster" number (e.g. 97460E1) and an index of cutting (mother producing), e.g. /B means a second DMM cut and /C means a third DMM cut."

    Is this the same thing? Would SX be where they got another plate or created a plate from Santa Maria's Master (Mother?)?

    Neither a repress nor a reissue (at least not based merely on that fact). Just an SM master for TH pressing.

    Thank you. That is what I thought.
