Description
David Bowie Original First Japanese Pressing of "LODGER" Test Pressing LP in NEAR MINT condition.
Original RCA LP Test pressing RVP-6390 with non-shiny gate-fold insert sheet.
Nice, clean and shiny vinyl, NEAR MINT, due to the fact that someone at the pressing plant or shortly thereafter, ran a red and green ink marker around the edge of the label. In addition, I can see 3 very very light surface paper scuffs or other on side A that should not affect play whatsoever, and three very light discoloration marks on one side of the label. Both sides of the LP are shown in the photos, so what I am describing are very subtle flaws, but due to the condition of the vinyl, I am still grading the TEST PRESSING near mint overall. I have never played this disc since obtaining it many years back since I had other copies of the LP to enjoy. This is very close to a newly pressed TEST PRESSING, and in quality, should be better than the mass produced LPs, even the stock Japanese LPs since it is a test pressing which generally have a different vinyl makeup and more stringent quality control measures. This is the only copy I was ever able to obtain. See the enclosed photos with the reflection of my linear ceiling light in the LP. Comes in an Original very UNIQUE heavy Japanese blue/Black protective record sleeve. Please see the last photo for the Matrix number.
An illusive and extremely rare piece. Guaranteed authentic. NO RESERVE!
Out side of U.S.A. and Canada: Registered International mail is recommended and is $25.00 Other means at cost are also available.
Good Luck.
Cheers!
