VERY STRONG VG to NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION

These items are very scarce and don't come up for sale that often. They usually exist in quantities of between 5 to 25 copies only. They are manufactured solely as test pressings and are distributed between band members,producers and management for final approval, before the item is committed to a full print run. Some copies are distributed to vital PR agencies and radio stations before official demos have been pressed.

This is pressed on the "translucent" vinyl, which glows a deep red when held up to an electric light. It normally looks black.

I bought this album from a record fair in the mid 80's and have only ever seen this item for sale on 2 occasions, so I do believe it to be one of the "rarer" QUO items.It comes in a plain paper sleeve.

These items are from my own personal collection that I am reluctantly splitting after 35 years of collecting. I have collected white labels, demos and promotional items of many major bands since 1968.
