Description

RY COODER Jazz
New & Sealed Audiophile Vinyl Record (Test Pressing)

Record Label: Warner Brothers BSK 3197


Rare test pressing for the limited edition, Warner Brothers re-master of the 1978 Ry Cooder classic. Only information on the disc itself is stamped on the upper right corner of the cover and on the disc label.

Album is packaged in a generic white sleeve with the following information stamped in the upper right hand corner:

AUGUST 7 2006
BSK-3197 A/B


These highly collectible test pressings are from the first stamper and sometimes less than 10 exist. Test pressings reflect the closest you can get to the lacquers and hence have a special collectible value.

Condition: New and still sealed in it's original plastic sleeve. Perforation is completely intact. Corners are sharp and unbent. Spine, top and bottom are solid and free of chipping or splits. Mint.

Disclaimer: Because this record is sealed, I am taking it on faith that the vinyl within is what's marked on the jacket. As I've said, it's the only identifying marker on the LP.

Review: Ry Cooder plays this music with affection and respect; a gentle pastiche almost surpassing the originals...an album which will hit you intensely, with a sound quality to match... ~ Stereophile
