Description
A true collector's gem for any serious Beatles fan!
An extremely rare and sought-after UK promotional sample of The Beatles' 1982 compilation album, Reel Music. This is the black vinyl pressing with the unique "Échantillon" (French for "Sample") label, likely a factory test pressing or promotional copy sent to radio stations and reviewers before the official release.

Condition
- Vinyl: Near Mint (NM). The vinyl itself appears flawless with a high gloss finish, free from visible scratches or scuffs. The "Échantillon" label is clean and crisp. Appears to have been played very rarely, if at all.
- Sleeve: Very Good (VG). The original transparent plastic sleeve with the production sheets is intact. The production sheets show signs of age, handling, and minor creasing. The edges and corners are worn. This type of packaging is very fragile, and its age is expected to show. The main value is in the vinyl itself and the included paperwork.
Additional Content
This pressing includes the original production sheets detailing the tracklist for both sides, "Reel Music" and "A Hard Day's Night". The presence of these sheets confirms the authenticity of this rare test/promo pressing.
Packaging & Shipping
Your record will be shipped in a professional, double-walled cardboard mailer with bubble wrap and corner protectors to ensure it arrives safely. The vinyl will be removed from its outer sleeve to prevent seam splits during transit. All shipments are tracked and insured for peace of mind. Personal pickup is also available in Belgium by appointment.
