Description
STEVE MILLER's "Fly Like An Eagle" Remastered by Audiophile Pioneer MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LAB (021) in the 80's with the Chatsworth address and Pressed in JAPAN, is a TEST PRESSING with White JVC Test Pressing labels (seen in Scan 2) of one of Miller's best albums.
Test Pressings are the rarest and better sounding than the regular pressings, since they were the first to be made off of the mother-stamper and were usually limited to no more than 10. In the case of Audiophile records, this can make some difference to the most discerning of listeners and along with their scarcity make then highly collectable. Most Test Pressings come in a White Jacket (which I will also be selling), however this one has a regular cover making it even more interesting. The Cover comes in a plastic outer sleeve.
This and many other MFSL Test Pressings (& Regular MFSL records) I will be offering are from a former MFSL employee who has confirmed that he has Rarely or Never Played most of the Test Presses (and Never Played the Mint Regular releases).
The LP is in NEAR MINT PLUS condition, and appears to have been played once with a single visible spindle mark on each label, and not a mark or scratch of any kind on the clean, glossy vinyl.
The Cover is in VERY GOOD PLUS condition and showing light wear throughout, with the worst a bend on the upper right corner that has also left a split top seam at the opening which has been taped with clear scotch tape. Otherwise the seams are intact with light wear, the remaining corners showing the same wear (bottom left has been bumped, while the front and back show just light wear.
