A TRUE COLECTORS ITEM OF THE HIGHEST ORDER!

Released 1976

Label    BRONZE ILPS 9357

Matrix        1-I MM1    EG

THE VINYL   MINT-

As you can see, this is the incredibly rare 'ONE SIDED' test pressing, white label UK example. VERY FEW COPIES EXIST, A REAL COLLECTORS ITEM

This example has 4 songs from the album on just one side, the other side being grooved but silent

Featuring plain white labels , with exclusive matrix number.

Test Presses are not always the same quality as the released vinyls, and this one does have some very light crackle in some places.. BUT A STUNNING LISTEN.

IT PLAYS WITHOUT JUMPS OR STICKS..AND SOUNDS FANTASTIC

This HEAVYWEIGHT pressing is a superb vinyl which has retained its amazing glossy sheen and finish. There is no dulling anywhere and overall it is in incredible condition for an LP of this age. The edges are silky smooth, typical of these vintage pressings.

We can see NO spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever. IT MAY HAVE BEEN PLAYED A COUPLE OF TIMES AT BEST

There are a few light whisp lines, and thats it-  nothing else!  No scratches or marks.  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..

OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST FOR ANY FINAL UPGRADE COLLECTION. YOU WILL NOT SEE BETTER.
