Description

This is a white label, 180gm test pressing, black vinyl copy of "Pet Sounds", the eleventh studio albium by The Beach Boys, first released in 1966 and re-issued in 1999 on the Simply Vinyl record label (SVLP 149). It comes housed in a company sleeve with the album name and catalogue number written on the sleeve in black marker pen. As can be seen from the photo the sleeve has a slight kink in the top right hand corner.

It is my understanding that there are only 10 test pressings ever made of each record and that they are only given to the label and mastering facility for quality control purposes. Some are then sent to shops as promotional copies. I won this record in 1999 in a competition in the long defunct record collector magazine, Record Mart and Buyer.

It has never been played and has only been taken out of its cover for me to take the photograph you see above.
