Background on this eBay item -
This is a super rare, long out of print, audiophile LP TEST PRESSING title made by the famous CLASSIC RECORDS label. As all audiophiles know, Classic Records, alas, is no more. Their products have already become very difficult to find as retailers sell of their inventory and everything the company made is all out of print.These test pressings are all FACTORY SEALED and come in generic white record jackets (like the picture with this listing - we provided the original picture so that a collector will better understand the LP we are referring to with respect to these test pressings), with a loose fitting plastic outer sleeve, in sealed condition. The information contained on the disc is stamped on the front of the record jacket (see details below).
As inventories keep shrinking and titles disappear, the only direction the pricing on these rarities will go is up, so this is your chance to secure one for your record collection - an investment in music that could better your return on the stock market! Good luck finding a sealed copy again and if you do, it will likely be at a much higher price!!
Test Pressing Manufacturing date: September 1, 1995

Classic Records LP Item - audiophile issue, TEST PRESSING
-
Pressing is in STEREO
-
Audiophile spectacular! This LP recording features the music of Bartok - Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta and the Hungarian Sketches with Fritz Reiner conducting the splendid Chicago Symphony Orchestra - nothing short of aural fireworks here! Recorded by the fabulous team of Richard Mohr (producer) and Lewis Layton (recording engineer) for RCA in the early 1960's - this duo is considered by many as the best team of producer and recording engineer to capture the best sound for any record, and this one has superb sound, in spades.
-
Highly sought after title by audiophiles and music lovers alike - the stereo, original shaded dog is very rare and expensive, especially in near mint shape - in our humble opinion, the Classic Records reissue bests the original in many ways - in many years of collecting we have had a good number of originals. All of them pale in comparison to the reissue, primarily due to condition, noise, dynamics, etc. This is your chance to hear what this LP is supposed to sound like!
-
The Test Pressing stamped information indicates: Sep 1 1995, LSC 2374, A2, 45 - we can't be sure as the item is sealed, but we believe this stamped information to indicate the date of manufacturing of the test pressing, the record catalog number, the side of the record and stamper number, and that the LP is cut at 45rpm for greatest dynamics.

CONDITION Details:
So if our definition of the stamped information on the jacket is correct, this test pressing has some of the music from side 1 of this marvelous LP on it, cut at 45rpm.
The white, generic LP jacket is in MINT condition - it is FACTORY SEALED!
The LP is assumed to be in MINT condition - this item is FACTORY SEALED!A Short Note About LP GRADING -
- Mint = Only used for sealed items.
- Near Mint = Virtually flawless in every way.
- Near Mint Minus = Item has some minor imperfections, some audible.
- Excellent = Item obviously played and enjoyed with some noise.
- Very Good Plus = Many more imperfections which are noticeable and obtrusive.
For best results, always properly clean your LPs before playing them (even for new LPs).
The LP is an audiophile quality pressing (any collector of fine MFSL, half speeds, direct to discs, Japanese/UK pressings etc., can attest to the difference a quality pressing can make to an audio system).
Don't let this rarity slip by!!!price rating
