David Gilmour - About Face 12” vinyl
Harvest / EMI Full Album TEST PRESSING / SHSP 2400791
Released 1984
Unlike single pressings which have a blank side and require two discs per album, this is a double pressing, with a complete album side on either side of the disc.
I have listened to simply verify they are what the stamps say they are, otherwise their pristine appearance suggests that outside of being listened to in the early 80’s, they are virtually unplayed. I would rate the vinyl surface as Near Mint. While it sounds great, I do not offer any opinion as to whether this example provides a higher quality sound than other a standard pressing.

*Important* Please be aware that the record is not completely flat and has a bend at one edge towards the 'A' side. Obviously this is more pronounced when playing the 'A' side, but it does cause the opening track on both sides to jump (on our turntable), while using a counterweight. With this in mind, please be aware that if you intend to actually play the record, you will likely need to consider having it straightened.
Supplied with original paper sleeves only as shown in the images.
