Description
Last year I had the good fortune to buy the complete music collection of one of the two directors of the Australian label, Regular Records, including a huge storage space containing the entire Regular Records Archives. It was loaded with master tapes, video masters, contracts, complete files on each artist...as well as mint copies of virtually EVERY vinyl, CD, and cassette release...PLUS... vinyl TEST PRESSINGS of every Regular release...and rare promo-only interview LPs.
Because Regular had the rights to some English labels at the time, the Archives contained several original UK-pressed test pressings...and this is one of those.
================================================================================

TITLE: "MUSIC FOR STOWAWAYS"

CAT. #: V-2888 .

ORIGINAL? : Yes, it is!...
...Has plain white labels...
...Comes in its original plain white paper sleeve....with no writing anywhere. This was a cassette-only release but Marsh and Ware (Human League/Heaven 17) decided it warranted a few vinyl test pressings to hand out to a few libraries and producers (see accompanying picture here, which I hope is big enough to read - it is NOT included with the LP, it's from the Discogs website)...

Thanks for considering this item. Best of luck if you decide to bid...Cheers, Jules.
