PRESSINGS

This is a list of all the Anvil pressings I know of. A "*" on the right indicates an item I do not have. You'll note that some items have more than one catalogue number. These are items in which the LP or CD has a different number than the sleeve or booklet. Please email me if you have anything to add to this list or if you have anything to trade or sell.
