70s BRITISH VINYL MASTERPIECE: George Harrison – Thirty Three & ⅓ (Original 1976 UK First Pressing — "A Porky Prime Cut" / CBS Aston Clinton Pressing)

Add an investment-grade, audiophile holy grail to your vinyl collection with this authentic, Day-One November 19, 1976 UK first pressing of George Harrison’s critically acclaimed comeback album, Thirty Three & ⅓ (Dark Horse Records – K56319).

Marking George Harrison's debut studio release on his independent Dark Horse Records imprint, the album effortlessly blends soulful funk-pop, melodic soft rock, and classic Fab Four charm, featuring beloved international hits such as "This Song," "Crackerbox Palace," and "Woman Don't You Cry For Me".

Manufactured in the United Kingdom at the prestigious CBS Pressing Plant in Aston Clinton (identified by the broken character Λ stamp), this historic pressing features the legendary hand-carved dead wax inscriptions of mastering virtuoso George "Porky" Peckham. Renowned for cutting lacquers "hot" with maximized groove dynamics and deep low-end punch, Peckham’s premier "A PORKY PRIME CUT" delivers an expansive, three-dimensional analog presentation that far outclasses later budget reissues and standard international pressings.

    The vinyl displays flawless, radiant factory luster and plays with whisper-quiet, dead-silent backgrounds. George Peckham’s hot lacquer cut allows Harrison’s signature slide guitar work, punchy horn lines, and driving funk basslines to project with pristine acoustic detail, wide stereo separation, and zero inner-groove distortion.

  • Sleeve Condition: Near Mint (NM / M-)

    The original UK jacket is crisp, sharp, and immaculate. Features vibrant color saturation, razor-sharp edges, solid corners, intact seams, and a clean, perfectly legible spine.

Why This 12" Single Belongs in Your Collection

Original 1970s British vinyl mastered by George "Porky" Peckham represents the absolute pinnacle of analog cutting craft. By utilizing wider groove pitches directly from the original master tapes, Peckham unlocked massive dynamic headroom and bass authority, ensuring tracks like "Crackerbox Palace" never suffer from the muddy compression common on later pressings. Complete with Peckham's iconic dead wax scouse humor and preserved in collector-grade Near Mint condition inside and out, this 1976 UK first pressing is a definitive centerpiece for audiophiles and serious Beatles/Harrison collectors alike.
