The matrix \u003cstrong\u003e314-570-043-1-A\u003c\/strong\u003e carries the definitive \u003cstrong\u003e314 PolyGram prefix\u003c\/strong\u003e, confirming this as an original pressing from the year of release. The \u003cstrong\u003eHUB TV\u003c\/strong\u003e dead wax stamp identifies this as a \u003cstrong\u003eHub Manufacturing pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e — a less common pressing facility than SRC or Rainbo, making this a notable plant variant for collectors who track pressing origins. Retail copy confirmed by barcode on hype sticker; no promo markings.

This is the kind of record that serious West Coast collectors actively seek out: an original pressing of a mid-90s regional classic that never crossed over to mainstream recognition but has only grown in stature among dedicated diggers. A Hub-pressed PolyGram 12\" in EX condition is a genuinely uncommon find.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: PolyGram \/ Mercury Records (314-570-043-1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry: USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear: 1994\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatrix Side A: 314-570-043-1-A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressing plant: Hub Manufacturing (HUB TV dead wax stamp)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: 12\" Single, 33⅓ RPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressing type: Retail (barcode on hype sticker, no promo markings)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinyl Condition: EX (Excellent)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve Condition: EX (Excellent)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Off the Record","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49607284981975,"sku":"314-570-043-1-A-HUB-TV","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0838\/3535\/5351\/files\/20260818_161440.jpg?v=1787095346","url":"https:\/\/offtherecordstore.com\/products\/wc-and-the-maad-circle-just-clownin-us-12-single-polygram-mercury-314-570-043-1-hub-pressing","provider":"Off the Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
