San Sebastian Avenue
Yesterday I spotted the name Grimmenstein amongst the names of those who attended the Masque Ball at Germania Hall in San Francisco – and Googled it! I gasped when I saw Grimmenstein Castle. I knew it was very ancient. I consider it a candidate for Camelot. I will show you why later. It does fit the scenario of ‘The Return of the King and Landlord. August F. Grimmenstein and his wife were buried in the Union Cemetery. I will search for their markers that may have escaped the vandalism. The Jankes did not. Did City officiasl who dug my ancestors up in 1972 – know there was vandalism going on? The bones of Simon Mezes were dug up and moved to Colma – for safe keeping!
What I suspect, August is the guy who appeared in San Carlos waving the flag of Emperor Charles Von Habsburg. because he is related to this Austrian family! I don’t have to prove this, because The Dead are the authors of this tale. And, what do The Dead have to prove to the living? Most lovers of Halloween wish someone would anoint another…..Day of Dead! So be it!
On this day August 24, 2024, I John Presco found – Phantom of The Day Dead – On this day Belmont will be hose to Phantom’s Grateful Dead. Masked Revelers will board Caltrans Trains and come to Belmont Village that will be decorated with amazing lights, and ghoulish symbols. A great hall will be built where the musical ‘Phantom of the Opera’ will be performed in a festival that last till Halloween. Consider The Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. Gordon Getty’s PlumpJack Opera will also be performed. I invite all the partners of Plumpjack to come celebrate -and fund these Days of The Dead!
A Round Tower will be built for me and my Heirs overlooking Belmont. I will be brought down in my black chariot pulled by black Doberman Pincers! My name will be….
Don Janke Von Grimmenstein Stuttmeister Lord de Belmont
Janke is a form of John.
So be it

The museum-castle Grimmenstein is the most famous sight of the village of the same name. The building consists of a so-called high castle on the rock and a hillside castle below. The name of the castle dates back to the 12th century, but its foundations and parts of the masonry are much older. Some sources point to a much older history of the castle, for example, part of the preserved keep is said to date back to a Roman watchtower around 2,000 years old. After years of decay, it has been undergoing extensive renovation by the Grimmenstein family since 2014.
THE MASQUERADE BALL. A Very Successful Carnival in Germania Hall. The Hook and Ladder Company Pleased With Their Hall. Henutlfiil Costume*.
“ Is she a man.” “•No, I think she is a girl.” The band was playing a lively air and all the gaily decked masquers with their strange, fanciful and pretty costumes were in motion. The jovial jester, the sober monk, “ legrande dame,” ‘‘la Espanola Scnora,” the Mexican hidalgo, Italian nobleman and American gentleman were all there. A boot-black jostled against the Spaniard and Tojtsy against the dude; the ghost walked into the pumpkin and his Satanic majesty found Night to be a pleasant companion. A Chinaman tried to strike up a conversation with a couple of Southerland sisters, the representatives of the regular army got stranded near the Five Points, while the Grand Army man and several American Hug girls seemed intuitively attracted toward each other, and clowns, Italians, sailors, last year beauties, Indians, cowboys, Irishmen,, plump arms, tapir limbs, sable faces and a thousand and one gauzy, gaudy and gilded beings with filmy laces aud fairy-like dresses, floated here and there to the tinkle of bells and a tambourine, the ripple of laughtet and whispered joke, and wound in and out, up and down in a maze of delicious figures, tints and colors. It was the night of the annual masquerade ball given by the Hook and Ladder Company. Every fellow who had one had brought his sweetheart, lost her and then enjoyed the privilege of trying to find her. A clasp of the hand, a whispered word and then they recognized each other and were already for the evening’s pleasure. The fellow who did not have a sweetheart turned clown or something else and punched the fellow in the ribs who had one. Some three hundred people and over came for the privilege of sitting down, keeping still and watching other people’s fun for the two hours proceeding 11 o’clock, when every body had a chance to dance.
Many of the costumes were very pretty and those who assumed special characters were generally quite successful in carrying them out. Excellent music added to the enjoyment. The general management of the ball was good and reflected credit on the firemen in charge, who all appeared in the regulation red shirt. The decorations were harmonious and effective. Upon the right bands of red, white and blue were stretched along the side wall with groups of fans in the loupes. Fire axes were crossed and a central wreath encircled a fireman’s hat. Similar colored cloth on the left was arranged in graceful forms between the windows and emblematic ladders were hung near the tnlddfe. Kvergreen ropes rtretchetf from the four corners to the center of the room and below hung a huge wreath with a silver ladder within. Claude Fox, C. A. Jacobus, C. E. Knights, Miss Frye and Miss Minnie Stalter were appointed a committee to award the various prizes offered. Shortly before 11 o’clock they awarded them as follows: For the best sustained lady costume, “ Topsy,” Mies Gertrude Lindsey of Belmont. For the most original lady character, “Money Costume,” Miss Lulu Janke of Belmont. For the prettiest lady costume, “Fancy Dress,” Miss Frankie Morris of San Francisco. A . For the best sustained gentleman character, “ Chinaman,” James Moscow of Redwood City. For the most original gentleman costume, “Five Points,” Phil Steinhaimer of Redwood City. For the prettiest gentleman costume, “Don Carlos,” Wm. Janke. Mr. Thompson was Floor Manager and Dan Daly, P. Genochio, W. Havey and T. Thompson the Floor Committee. Antone Genochio, Dan Mullen and H. Mourot constituted the Committee of Arrangements. The Reception Committee consisted of O. Dodge, J. Daly, L. Bettannier, M. Boyd, R. Badie, J. Metes, A. Hanson, Geo. Whooton, L. Genochio and Jos. Kussell. The supper was served at Price’s Hotel, where the large dining hall had been nicely decorated with evergreen. Three tables were arranged the entire length of the room and presented a pretty Scene previous to the supper, with the crystal ware reflecting the colors of numerous bouquets. Supper was served 280 people, 140 being seated at one time.

The Bright Bohemians of Belmont

To: Governor Newsom
From: John Presco
President: Royal Rosamond Press
Dear Governor Newsom
For years I have been trying to get you and your circle of family and friends to promote The Sober Bohemian Way of Life, that was established by gifted White People. I have White Democrat Swing Voters in mind, a whole group of people – who hate what they see! They see a Flim-Flam Man offering our grandchildren Easy Flashy Money if they betray The Bohemian Cause and Lifestyle and vote for The Generous Game Show Host – who has Jesus on his side – making it easier to choose The Right Door and get THE GRAND PRIZE! Down with The Dealers of Bling! Blng!
“Come on down – and be saved!”
Thirty-six years ago I went to an our-patient program and became clean and sober. I was a young Bohemian and a original hippie. I began to collect the history of The Bohemians in two blogs. I did this in order to create a clean and sober alternative for millions, many who saw getting straight as a cop-out. How many joined The Trump Crusade? Think – SWING VOTES! Have Jenny talk about Talitha Getty, and how she tried to get sober, She went back to drugs – and died! Not everyone who wants sobriety, gets sobriety. The success rate for those who try, is low. Meanwhile every Republican can take credit for saving the un-born. I didn’t hear Trump and His Cult Followers come up with a solution for The Drug Epidemic that is destroying our cities!
I turned on the news this morning and leanrded Sheila Jackson Lee, died. She carries the name of two Confederate Generals. I am kin to John Fremont who was surrounded by Radical Forty-eighters, many of them from Germany. They spread their Liberal Message in the Turnverein Halls they made across America. They founded the Rebpilcian Party that had been taken over by Neo-Confederates. My Pioneer ancestor, Carl Janke, built a hall in San Francisco, and when it burned down, he replaced.
I sent you a letter about Mary White Ovington. You need to get on this. Have Jenny give a history lesson on T.V. starring these two Freedom Fighters – who fought for Liberty and Justice – for all. Here is The True Heritage WE NOW OWN, but, will not own AT ALL – if the Trumpire of The Evil Wizard, prevails. I am kin to Robert E. Lee – and Christopher Lee! Do I got THE MOVIE – for us!

WASHINGTON — Sheila Jackson Lee, a Houston Democrat who was one of the longest serving members of Texas’ Congressional delegation and a longtime advocate for progressive causes, died on Friday amid her battle with pancreatic cancer. She was 74.
In July 1968, the Gettys had a son, Tara Gabriel Galaxy Gramaphone Getty,[16] who became a noted ecological conservationist in Africa, dropped his third and fourth forenames, and took Irish citizenship in 1999. He and his wife Jessica (a chalet maid he met in Verbier) have three children, including a daughter named Talitha.[17]
By 1969, the dissolute lifestyle the Gettys were leading in Italy and Morocco had begun to wear on Talitha, who wished to pursue treatment for heroin and alcohol addiction and return to Britain. Both she and Paul were unfaithful to one another (Paul was having an affair with Victoria Holdsworth, whom he would go on to marry in 1994), and Paul showed no commitment to becoming sober. He agreed to a separation and purchased a house for his wife and son to live in on Cheyne Walk in London.[18] In early 1970 Talitha was sober and living an active social life in London.
My daughter Heather Hanson (on the right) is kin to Doris Vannier, and all her kin that descend from Carl Janke. I have found our Lost Kingdom atop the…..Beautiful Mountain!
················
Dear Gavin Newsom;
Five days ago I discovered Paul and Talitha Getty lived on Cheyne Walk in Chelsea. How did I miss this. I am certain Joaquin Miller had dinner on Cheyne Walk in the home of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Joaquin carried my father’s mother on the trolley from Oakland to San Francisco. We owned a farm below The Hights, a Bohemian Mecca. William Stuttmeister developed property in the Laurel area of Oakland, and married Augustus Janke at Ralston Hall in Belmont. She died before William, and holds the place of honor in the Janke crypt in Colma. There are three generations of the Janke family in the a place I brought my daughter and newborn grandson. I found out before memorial day, that two more generations were dug up from their graves in Belmont and dumped in a hole in Redwood City. Add to this the digging up of the Oddfellows grave in San Francisco. I posted this defilement on Facebook, and I am getting much outrage and sympathy from the Common People. I have gotten nothing but silence from the higher ups, the elected officials, and folks who hand out grants – like candy – to just about anyone – but me! My therapist and I have been trying to figure out why I have been kept poor. The answer is, since I was thirteen most people I knew thought I would be a famous artist one day, and thus I WOULD HAVE GOBS OF MONEY. To test out if they are going to get any of my money – they undermine me in every conceivable and evil way.
Talitha’s father was an artist, who hung with the Bohemians of Holland. When she married into the WEALTHY Getty family, and the poor Bohemian folk took note. There were famous rich people who lived on Cheney Walk, many of them Rock Stars. They got the best drugs. Some paid with their lives. Talitha was one of them – even thought she worked hard to remain clean and sober. So did my famous sister, Christine Rosamond, who gave me credit for her success. I turned her on the Pre-Raphaelites. We are the only two artists in the Getty Family Tree. Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor grew up around artists, and lived in Augustus John’s house. I a done waiting for Justice and Funding! I am thirty-six years clean and sober. I have what Talitha and Paul wanted. Eugene Getty – died clean and sober! Christine drowned on her first sober birthday.
On this day, May 21,2023, I found the Rosemond Perfume Company For The Artis.. I demand a full investigation of all the Artists and Scholars who got Getty Money. Where are they – now that we got two wolves at the door. Donald Trump and his buddy Putin has turned the world upside down and create vicious and treacherous chaos.. I am the only Rebpilcian this is – because I modeled my memberships after John and Jessie Benton – who supported artists and writer.
When I awoke yesterday, Mary Ovington White – was in the thoughts. She was inspired by Jack London and William Morris. Morris inspired J.R. Tolkien. I want the Tower of the Magician to be called Rosemond Tower, and the park around it to be named Rosemond Park. I want the three Jankes in that hole in Redwood City – interred in the bottom floor of the tower that will be the new Janke family crypt I’m going to employ the photo of Talitha above, to render my version of Fair Rosamond.. How about a Labyrinth around the Rosy Tower?
It occurs to me Royal Rosamond Press may be the only radial newspaper for the arts – because I get no funding. If I did I would be compelled to – tone it down – if I want more funding. The Christian-right has declared war on the National Endowment of the Arts – and I have struck back – many times. Beverley LaHaye led the Christian charge. Her late husband is Tim LaHaye a close compatriot of Gini Thomas the wife of Clarence, who said he would go after Gays, when he helped repeal of Roe vs, Wade. Alas we see VP Kamala Harris returning fire. She is close with you and the Gettys. Do you know Larry Chazen? I need help with my newspaper so I can finish my theological book that will weaken the claims of the right. I get threats. I need protection.
Relapsing is not a sin, nor relapsing and dying. It is time to raise Talitha out of the pit of shame. I relapsed after a year of sobriety when my marriage to Mary Ann Tharaldsen ended. She lived with Thomas Pynchon for several years. Her art needs to be saved. Sheis in the Getty family tree.
Sincerely
John Presco

Broderick – Stuttmeister – Janke family at Twin Pines Park Belmont California
On this day, I John Presco, Rightful owner of the Habsburg Empire in the New World, as well as the Holdings of the House of Bourbon, do lay clam to the City known as San Carlos that I suspect is a fictitious name, aimed at hiding the natorious swindling by Leland Stanford ‘The Robber Baron’.
I am the great grandson of Carl Janke, and William Stuttmeister, who owned property in Belmont, and elsewhere. I did not receive a warm welcome at the Belmont Historical Society. I wondered why. After much digging, I discovered Carl and Doretha Janke were dug up from their graves in the middle of the night, and put in a grave in Redwood city with Doretha’s mother. Does San Carlos treat their founders this way? It’s hard to tell, because there are so many – stories! For now, I go with Charles 111 because he is kin to Empress Zita who fled to the United States after Hitler put a price on her head. I have claimed the painting of her family after my attempts to return it to Austria – failed! I am kin to the Hull family.
I have given San Carlos a new name that is inspired by the Wonderland the Janke Family created in Twin Pines Park. What is that tree on the City Seal of San Carlos? If it is a Bay Laurel Tree, then it is ordained I own these lands……

It is 8:33 A.M. May 27, 2023 – and I am still in shock having discovered my grandparents are buried in the same grave! I saw TWO flags put on one gravestone. That was a half hour ago. THEN – I see another flag! There are three of my ancestors buried in the same grave! WHY? Did the caretakers conclude this was a very poor family? William Stuttmeister knew they were Belmont before he died. At great expense to himself, he moved the Jankes to Colma after they were evicted from the Odd Fellow cemetery – at great expense! This was a wealthy pioneer family whose graves keep being defiled! They were moved to the Union cemetery i 1972?

Chapter: Broadway Al and the Record Matrix
At the end of my hour conversation with Anita and Jan Witte, I told them…
“I love you!”
The three of us had concluded we are on a quest to get Christine Wandel’s trunk back to her, that Broadway Al took out of her basement on Carmine Street. Raw tapes of Jimmy Hendrix got destroyed. Anita suggested there were books in that trunk because it was so heavy. Al was in his sixties. It was – his cross to bear?
My ex-wife found a large trunk in the attic of a house she bought in Richmond. There were postcards from Germany in it – with Swatiska stamps. My character, Berkley Bill Bolagard, finds a trunk in the atic of a Victorian slated for demolition. I used the house we lived in with The Loading Zone. I used Christine’s home on Hancock Street as a model for my my story. Bill talks with Monica’s father in his library, and his books become central to my science fiction novel,
Mary Ann Tharadlesen lived with Thomas Pychon for several years. I forget what she did with – our trunk? Anita suggested Christine’s trumk was like the Holy Grail. I said it is…..
THE MALTESE FALCON…The McGuffin!
Then, Jan told me Al could recite Matrix Codes on records – from memory! I got – more chills – when Anita said she lived in Merlin Oregon that has a life-size stature of Merlin! Ken Kesey took Further of England – in search of Merlin! Anita asked me how much of the Gideon has been written. I told her I ran into a stumbling block. I could not figure out how Bill and other prisoners shorted out the Gideon Computer….Broadway Al showed me how – from hither side.
NEW TEXT: Bill and his Band of Merrymen needed a human computer to store long sequences of numbers in. This is when Broadway Hal spoke (typed)…
“When I sold records in the village, I noticed I could recall the Matrix Codes on albums. I was able to store many codes.!”
“How many do you got?”
“Let me see!………….384,961!
Legend says Dan Brown and his wife ease-dropped on our groups – several years before The DaVinci Code was published.
EXTRA! Just got off the phone with Christine Wandel, and am going to send her a copy of this page. Then this change came to me. I was wondering if 384,961! was too many records to look at. Then I thought of the number P1
3.14159.
EDIT: “When I sold records in the village, I noticed I could recall the Matrix Codes on records. I was able to store many codes.!”
“How many do you got?”
“Let me see!………….314,159!”
“That’s PI!” Exander, the group math wizard cried! “We can construct a fractal and lure the Gideon Computer in. Once she sees the Matrix numbers – she’s going to freak!”
To be continued!
The number π (/paɪ/; spelled out as “pi“) is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle‘s circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159. The number π appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics. It is an irrational number, meaning that it cannot be expressed exactly as a ratio of two integers, although fractions such as
227
3.14159.
“Bleecker” Bob Plotnik, “Broadway” Al Trommers, and Lenny Kaye at Village Oldies (149 Bleecker St), early 70’s. Plotnik and Trommers owned the store, Kaye was an employee – he met future bandmate Patti Smith while working there. The store, which moved to 118 w 3rd and was renamed Bleecker Bob’s after Trommers left, was arguably the city’s most significant record store – the first record store to embrace punk; central to the early careers of Madonna, Beastie Boys, and the Clash; a regular hangout for David Bowie and Frank Zappa; featured in an episode of Seinfeld. The store closed in 2013.
Ian Sinclair and I belonged to a Knights Templar yahoogroup where he worked hard to get me banned. He claimed a wheel had come off my cart. Above is a photo of Ian with Star Dove who drove around America blessing Masonic sites. Did this tiny woman bless Benton family? I do not see any copyrights on this material. Let me know if you object to me posting this Magical Mystery Tour.
Sinclairs Keep Attacking Me
Posted on August 30, 2013by Royal Rosamond Press
Above are photos of Ian Sinclair who worked hard for his clan to get me and another skeptic evicted from a Knight Templar yahoogroup. He did not like my posts that showed a bevy of real Knight Templars with the name de Rougemont, the speculative source of my family name Rosamond. Other researchers have pointed out the Sinclair family has no connection to any Knight Templar, but for the fact they helped persecute them.
Merlin and The Badland Muse
Posted on June 20, 2022 by Royal Rosamond Press
I wanted to teach Belle my sister’s style, and make Rena the Muse of the Age. But – BEING OLD – I was subject to all kinds of weird suspicions.
Here is NYC artist Anna Weyant, who is having an affair with a 71 year old man. She is Vivian to his Merlin. I have an idea for a movie or series.
Synopsis: Rodan Redcape is three generations Montana. At 26 she takes up art and has a studio in her grandparents barn. She has her first show in New York and is preyed upon. Her brothers are members of The Yellowstone Pride. They jump in a U-Haul and raid the art gallery where Rodan meets the love of her life – in the chaos! He is seventy years – young! Rodan convinces Fredum Glacier to move to Montana. Being four generations New York Village, he is leery. Alas, he relents, and is confronted by Rodan’s childhood sweetheart, Clanx McSinkworthy. who tries to lure Fredrum into one of his tiger traps. Fredum employs Clanx as a model, and he is soon the talk of the town.

27-YEAR-OLD PAINTER ANNA WEYANT MAKES HISTORY AT GAGOSIAN GALLERY
When Rena called sheriff, Dan Mayland, and filed a false police report wherein she claims I was stalking her, she in affect put up a WANTED poster in her county, and the whole State of Montana. How many citizens of the fine State, where my grandfather was born, have heard the egregious slander, and extreme abuse, coming from an old girlfriend who I claimed was my Muse, and was the Muse of my famous sister, Christine Rosamond Benton, the granddaughter of Royal Rosamond, who is kin to famous Benton artists. The Benton family also helped secure and procure the Oregon Territory for the United States.
Rena Eastons’ four page letter began with a recital of the dire straights she and her husband were in that could not help but solicit a desire to help this couple, which I publicly offered on my blog the day before Rena contacted the sheriff, and made false accusations against me. How can I not conclude Rena is still in that “dark and dangerous place” she told me about in her letter where she apologizes to me for “being a abusive girl”.
“Greg, I want you to know & listen. I apologize for being an abusive girl when our paths crossed in 1970. I had come out of a dark and dangerous place, and you helped me. Please forgive me. No one deserves abuse. I have learned a lot now.”

Buck Oil and Gideon Computer Prison
Posted on October 5, 2021 by Royal Rosamond Press
Yesterday, Facebook was down for five hours. I scolded Christine Wandel for trying to dictate what I write about that damn house in Wilkes-Barre. She asked where the old manual typewriter was I sent her UPS. She got the date wrong. It arrives today – as does Time and Destiny that I wrote about in 1986 in my novel ‘The Gideon Computer’.
It is 6:45 A.M. October 5, 2021. I just read a message from Peter Shapiro;
“Here’s a really good idea; how about you and I open a bed and breakfast in WB for cat lovers?”
Several years ago Peter was going to pay my way to Wilkes-Barre in order to climb into Christine’s attic and see what is going on with her roof. The Gideon Computer begins with Berkeley Bill Bolagard climbing into the attic of a Victorian in Oakland, that is the house we three lived in with The Loading Zone. Bill falls in love with Monica and is in her home on Beacon Hill. I used Christine’s house on Beacon Hill as a model. She said she wants to write about her old home on Hancock street once she get the typewriter.
For ten days I have been rehearsing what I am going to say to my therapist about the Buck family who sold my families Art and Literature Legacy to outsiders – WHO CONTAMINATED IT – like Buck Oil contaminated the dramatic rocks just outside the Golden Gate. Frank H. Buck owned oil wells on Ventura Beach and shipped the oil to the refinereies at Martiniz where my grandfather lived in a houseboat. Buck raped the woods around Springfield. Monies from exploiting oil and timber, seeded the Buck Institute in Marin who snubs me because of my fight with Robert Brevoort Buck.
Belle Burch, Alley Valkyrie, and other anarchist members of SLEEP destroyed activism in the Emerald Valley. They took the homeless hostage and used the as human shields. They helped the Buck Dynasty.
Facebook is being accused of contaminating the Social Computer and doing much damage.
OMG! I just googled Land End for images and found Belle Burch in the labyrinth. I lie in bed contemplating how to save her, and Christine Rosamond, who became corrupt. Belle offered to edit my auto-biography and is why I could not throw her away. She is is part of The Rose of the World Mystery. There is a saying in AA
“Don’t throw they baby out with the bathwater!”
I began rehearsing saying this to Barbara later today about RECOVERING my sober program and the integrity of Alcoholics Anonymous that is a lifeboat for those who suffer from the disease of Alcoholism. Our program was sold by the law firm of Robert Brevoort Buck to a person hostile to me and THE TRUTH!
“The truth shall set you free!”

What Are Matrix Codes And What Do They Mean?
Tom | January 12, 2024
In the analogue realm of music, vinyl records continue to captivate audiophiles and collectors alike, offering a rich and authentic listening experience. Yet, amidst the analogue charm lies a subtle, often overlooked detail—the matrix code etched into the runout groove of each vinyl record.
Appearing as a cryptic inscription, these matrix codes are the hidden language of vinyl, revealing essential information about the record’s production process, mastering, and even its manufacturing origin. As unassuming as they may seem, these codes hold the key to unravelling the unique story behind each vinyl creation, connecting enthusiasts to the intricate journey from studio to turntable.
In this article, we take a closer look at these vinyl record matrix codes, exploring what they are, deciphering their significance, and uncovering the fascinating narratives encoded within the grooves of our favourite albums.
A record’s matrix information is normally found in its ‘runout’ – the space between the end of the grooves and the label.
Identification and Organisation
Matrix numbers help identify individual sides of a record. They usually consist of a combination of letters and numbers. Sometimes they will even include additional symbols that differentiate that specific record from another pressing. The codes are assigned during the mastering process and are used to organize and manage the production of vinyl records.
Matrix numbers are typically etched or stamped into the runout groove of each side of a vinyl record. This alphanumeric code uniquely identifies each side of the record. For a standard LP (Long Play) album, there are typically two matrix numbers, one for each side, distinguishing between side A and side B. This identification ensures clarity in labelling and prevents confusion during production and distribution.
Mastering Information
The matrix number often includes information about the mastering engineer, the mastering studio, and the date of mastering. This allows enthusiasts to trace the origins of a specific pressing and gain insights into the expertise behind the sound quality.
Manufacturing Details
Matrix numbers also provide details about the manufacturing process. This includes information about the pressing plant, the stamper used, and sometimes the edition or batch of the record. Collectors value these details, as they can impact the rarity and desirability of a particular pressing.
Quality Control
Vinyl records go through a series of quality control measures during production. Matrix numbers help in tracking and identifying any issues that may arise, allowing for better quality control and ensuring consistent standards.
Matrix numbers are often associated with the specific stamper used during the manufacturing process. The stamper is the metal, circular part of the machining hardware that presses the grooves into the vinyl material during the record-making process. Quality control involves monitoring the condition of the stamper to ensure that it is in optimal shape. Any defects or wear on the stamper can result in audible imperfections on the final product.

Different Pressings
Reissues or different pressings of the same album may have distinct matrix numbers. Collectors often use these codes to distinguish between various versions of a record, each with its own unique characteristics or historical significance.
First and early presses of records often have their matrix information either pressed or stamped into their record’s dead wax space in a very particular way – often being represented by an A1 B1 code, or something similar. You may even see variations like A//1 B//1 or 1Y//1 2Y//1, for example.
If you would like to learn more about how to tell if your record is a first press, we’ve written an entirely separate article that will help you do just that!
The Amazon and Tolkien Fulfilment Clause

Here is
Dear Governor Kotek; I have been posting on your Facebook ideas how the J.R. Tolkien Legends can come to Oregon, and Oregon be seen as a co-owner of a Literary and Artistic Genealogy and Legacy that I have come to own in so many amazing ways. I am seventy-six years of age, and will not live forever. However, my Family Legend will. How do I make the State of Oregon Heir to my visions and work. I have worked with the homeless and would like us to find a way that any monies realized from this Literary Estate, can go for low-cost housing for the homeless. Will this housing be on a money-making real estate market – eventually? Has a new way to make investments in housing the homeless yet to be discovered?
I just read an article that suggests there was unethical business practices in Amazon securing a billion dollar tax free haven in Marrow. This dovetails nicely with the La Mota ethics scandal. I applaud the resignation of Fagan and the search for new Ethical Frontiers. This is a huge giveaway, not unlike the two hundred million you obtained to help the homeless. Is Uncle Sam getting his fair share? The Republican’ are refusing to raise the debt ceiling unless Biden makes drastic cuts. Howmany other giant corporations are not paying their fair share?.
On my blog, Royal Rosamond Press, you will see me dressed as Uncle Samaclaus, the beloved Grandfather of All Government Giveaway Programs. This pic was taken at the second Eugene Occupy. I have a scheme on how I can be Grandfathered in-to the Amazon Giveaway Bonanza! I was once homeless, but thanks to SHIPS, I ended my chronic homelessness. I got sober at Serenity Lane thirty six years ago, and have been seeing a therapist for three years. I am YOUR SUCCESS STORY! However the woman nest door has huge sub-woofers, and for four months has practiced ‘Acoustic Violence ‘ on me and my Service Cat, Classy. I write about twelve hours a day on my blog that may be the largest in the world. I need Peace and Quiet. My lack of sleep is destroying my health. I get SS1 because I suffer from PTSD.
On my blog you will see the Amazon Fulfilment plant. I want a thousand foot appartment cut in the corner of it – overlooking the Columbia!. I will live here – rent free! I will get Amazon healthcare and a thousand a month. I want a small electric car to go shopping. In an emergency, a Amazon helicopter will fly me off the roof to the nearest hospital. Also, I want Amazon to purchase the old power plant and turn it into a Guild and Museum for Fantasy Authors. There will be limited residency. Perhaps solar panels could fill the large arias, and The Guild could sell it excess electricity.
Governor, I hope that being upfront is helpful in you considering my proposal and the needs of the State of Oregon. I am kin to Christopher Lee who played Saruman. We do not want Oregon’s Literary Legacy and Windfall to fall into the wrong hands. The two towers you see on the old plant, and the electrical devices, can be used to do – evil! I have a daughter, but she keeps going over to the dark side. In a couple of days I will write you and ask for moneys to go to England to attend the showing of a woman’s paintings. She lived over a hundred years. This journey will secure for Oregon – a Grail Ring!
Oh, by the way, I ran for Governor as a Republican, and voted for you!

Amazon doesn’t actually have the rights to The Silmarillion. This means the series will be based on The Appendices at the end of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Which, admittedly, does overlap in stories between the two books, but if it is mentioned in The Silmarillion and not in the Appendices, it is off-limits. And this has to do with the rights from the Tolkien Estate and from J.R.R. Tolkien himself.
