Please, allow me to introduce myself quoting another old rock cliché: maybe I am too young on ebay but too old into this triptych of buy, sell and trade records as I’ve not only been a dedicated follower of collecting but a co-owner of second hand record shops, an A&R executive at record companies, a chief editor in music magazines, a radio dj etc for the last 30 years in Greece! So, a hell of a lot of rare and collectable items such as out-of-print original records, first pressings, special editions, promo samples, white labels, test pressings, magazines, posters, catalogues, memorabilia and other fetish objects of desire in 5, 7, 10 and 12 inches not only from Greece but from all over the world are going to be exhibited through these pages … Turn on and stay tuned!

So, up for auction is a rare original and unique White Label Test Pressing copy of the Greek edition of Jethro Tull’s Live / Bursting Out double album which was made, printed and released in 1978 by, the local office of Chrysalis in Greece, PolyGram with Cat No 6641 873 and Matrix No CHR 9199889 A  MT P 1978 410 600 [A Side], CHR 9199889 B  MT P 1978 410 600 [B Side], CHR 9199890 C  MT P 1978 410 601 [C Side] and CHR 9199890 D  MT P 1978 410 601 [D Side], i.e. the equivalent of the record that was originally released in the UK that very same year on Chrysalis label with Cat No. CJT 4! Never ever available in the shops, this very copy is one out of 10 only that were pressed for testing but were given away as a Free Sample too - to radio or press mostly! [note : For that reason too, the 2 printed inner sleeves with photos are, unfortunately, missing…] Deleted upon release and unavailable for more than 35 years this must - have item for  every devoted fan of the Elizabethan rock masters that Jethro Tull is, does not get offered up so often! So, do not miss …
