It's more rare than the release without a plinth.

Thank you for that info. and I tell you what man your picture discs are in amazing condition, there from 1986 & 1988 and they look new!

I've never heard if a "plinth" until this thread. Is it a UK thing?

plinth

NOUN: 1. A block or slab on which a pedestal, column, or statue is placed. 2. The base block at the intersection of the baseboard and the vertical trim around an opening. 3. A continuous course of stones supporting a wall. Also called plinth course. 4. A square base, as for a vase.
ETYMOLOGY: French plinthe, from Latin plinthus, from Greek plinthos, tile, plinth.


Basically the plinth on this record is just a piece of cardboard that folds up and displays the record in a standing up position.

Thanks! We just shove the record in a pile of Play-Doh here in the USSA.

I live in Pennsylvania, we're in the USA not the USSA
