Very RARE!!! James Gang• Columbia Record Productions Santa Maria Test Pressing For the album “Passin' Thru” • Studio album by James Gang• Passin' Thru is the fifth studio album by James Gang, released in October 1972, and their final album released on ABC Records (catalog no. ABCX 760). The band moved to Atco Records the next year. This LP is in good to very good condition. Definitely a rarity!!! The paper sleeve has some rumples and the seams are partially ripped through. The paper is very very brittle! The LP plays great! I just listened to both sides twice. Great music!! And most definitely the first pressing associated with their last LP. A rare gem!!!
