Description
Slade – In Flame – Original Vinyl Test Pressing (SALVOLPV005, 2015 BMG/Salvo Reissue) – Ultra Rare
For sale is an original vinyl test pressing of Slade In Flame, produced for the 2015 BMG/Salvo reissue campaign (Cat No. SALVOLPV005). Test pressings from this era were manufactured in extremely small quantities—usually only 3–5 copies—strictly for internal QC checks before full commercial production.
This example comes in its original plain white poly-lined sleeve with the factory QC sticker confirming:
• Catalogue No: SALVOLPV005
• Title: Slade In Flame
• PO: 293511
• Qty: 5 (meaning this batch had just 5 copies made)
• Date: 10/6/2015
• Batch No: S4474547-11-0
• Cut No: K9778550
Both labels are blank with simple side designations (“Side A” etc), exactly as issued. The vinyl itself is in excellent condition and has only been play-checked once.
A rarely seen opportunity to own a genuine production artefact from one of Slade’s most celebrated and iconic albums. Test pressings from the Salvo campaign rarely surface, and In Flame in particular is seldom offered.

Why Collect Test Pressings?
Test pressings are created to verify the audio quality before mass production. They are usually produced in single-digit quantities, making them some of the rarest physical forms of any release. For Slade collectors—and especially Salvo/BMG reissue collectors—this is a highly desirable item.
