Weddings, Parties, Anything – Scorn Of The Women

Artist: Weddings, Parties, Anything Title: Scorn Of The Women Format: Vinyl LP Original Release: April 1987 Label: WEA Catalog Number: 254647-1 Genre: Folk Rock / Australian Rock

The Deep Dive Details:

• The Original Australian Pressing: This is a quintessential Melbourne pub-rock classic. The first pressing (Catalog: 254647-1) was manufactured and distributed by WEA Records Pty. Limited. Look for the white WEA labels with the black "W" logo.

• Produced by Alan Thorne: The album was produced by the legendary Alan Thorne (who also worked with The Go-Betweens and Paul Kelly). Collectors hunt for this vinyl because Thorne’s production captured the band’s raw, accordion-heavy live sound much more dynamically on analog vinyl than the early digital CD transfers.

• Matrix and Runout Info: Check the dead wax for the hand-etched codes: Side A: 254647.1-A Side B: 254647.1-B Look for a small stamp that says STUDIOS 301. This indicates the record was mastered by the top-tier engineers at EMI's 301 studios in Sydney, ensuring the best possible audio fidelity for an 80s Australian rock record.

• The Tracklist Highs: This album contains the definitive version of "A Tale They Won't Believe" (about the cannibal Alexander Pearce) and "Shotgun Wedding." These tracks are staples of Australian folk-rock history, and the vinyl is the preferred way to hear Mick Thomas’s storytelling vocals.

• Sleeve and Condition: The original 1987 jacket is a single-pocket sleeve with a semi-gloss finish. Because this was "pub music," many copies found in the wild are heavily worn or have "beer stains" and ring-wear. A "Near Mint" sleeve is a significant value multiplier for this specific title.

• The Insert: Most original copies came with a one-sided lyric insert printed on thin paper. These are often missing or found crumpled at the bottom of the sleeve. If your copy includes the intact lyric sheet, it completes the "collector" package.
