Description

Format: Vinyl LP | Label: [BMG]

Condition: [NM] Played once


Own a true piece of heavy metal history – an original test pressing of Black Sabbath’s legendary album "Technical Ecstasy".

This is not a standard pressing — this is the ultra-rare test pressing version, made in extremely limited quantities, usually just a handful of copies, and never intended for public sale.

WHAT IS A TEST PRESSING?

Test pressings are the very first vinyl records made at the pressing plant, sent to the band, producer, or label for approval before full-scale production begins. These are usually pressed in quantities of 5 to 25 copies, making them exponentially rarer than any retail version. Often marked or labelled generically, these records are coveted by collectors for their authenticity and historical value.

This is part of a complete run of test pressings of the first 8 classic Ozzy-era Sabbath albums, all listed individually. I also have other rare and collectible Sabbath vinyl and memorabilia available — be sure to check my other listings and follow for upcoming items as I’ll be listing more over the coming weeks.


Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of metal legend.
