Bay City Rollers - Greatest Hits
1977 Arista AB 4158 LP | Terre Haute pressing designation; plant not separately credited | FW / FWO runout marks; facility and engineer not separately credited | Very Good (VG) vinyl / Very Good Plus (VG+) cover
Raven RECORDS collector copy: An exact 1977 Terre Haute variant with unusually complete two-sided runout evidence. This U.S. Arista AB 4158 copy matches Discogs release 15358295, runout variant 2, through its brown Arista labels, AB 4158 SA / AB 4158 SB label matrices and the accepted T1/FW/FWO runout pair. The source grades remain VG vinyl and VG+ jacket, with the visible deeper scratches, audible background noise and cover wear disclosed in plain terms and shown in the actual-item photographs.
Released by Arista in the U.S. in 1977, Greatest Hits collects Bay City Rollers singles including I Only Want To Be With You, Money Honey, You Made Me Believe In Magic and Saturday Night. The compilation carries track-specific production credits across the band's mid-1970s hit period.

Mastering / plant notes: The accepted variant 2 runouts contain FW on Side A and FWO on Side B. The accepted release does not separately identify a mastering facility or engineer for those marks, so no further attribution is made. Discogs release 15358295 identifies the format as Terre Haute. The release does not separately credit a pressing plant, so no company attribution beyond that provider format designation is made.

Playback: Play-tested
Jacket: Very Good Plus (VG+). Source-graded VG+ jacket with corner and edge wear, creasing, and age-related wear.
Inner sleeve: No original printed inner sleeve is present; a generic white paper inner sleeve is included.
Buyer note: Please review all four actual-item photos carefully; they show the exact front cover, back cover, Side 1 label/vinyl and Side 2 label/vinyl offered. The visible deeper scratches, label surfaces, corner and edge wear, creasing and age-related jacket wear are disclosed rather than concealed. No runout photograph is represented.
