Remarks:
Alsdorf used the US mothers, galvanized by Sheffield Lab Matrix for Allied Record Company which can be identified by the appearance of a long etched string including “△ 20314” and the [Allied ‘ɑ’ logo]-stamp.
Due to a manufacturing variation (different compositions & quality of the feedstock) some copies may appear dark translucent brown when held against a light source
