Description
Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted.
Grading is based on visual inspection.
Album ships in a 2 MIL poly cover sleeve and a 2 MIL poly inner sleeve.
I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.
New and vintage vinyl is hard to grade strictly using eBay’s system because the record and the cover are two different components. Therefore, I call a record new and mint if it is opened but has never been played. I use the grading category to describe the cover condition.
- Here's a real rarity on 2 counts: Atlantic didn't circulate many Test Pressings and this one turned out to be a multi-platinum seller with several hit singles.
- This Test Pressing has never been played.
- The solid white paper on board cover has tight seams and has slightly yellowed with age.
- I have included a soft poly inner sleeve.
- This is a one-owner that the Seller was lucky enough to get from Atlantic in 1977. Who knew then what this would turn into.

Notes
This release does not have the shadowed lettering on the cover."PR" in label matrix on Side A, and in runouts denotes a Presswell pressing. This may be a misprint, as the Side B label has RI in the matrix, which denotes a PRC-Richmond pressing, but the runouts confirm that it is a Presswell pressing.
