Description
RARE disco-soul test pressing from 1976
MEANING, the last time this turned up for auction on eBay was when a copy sold on
September 29, 2006!
18 years ago!!!
IMPOSSIBLE to find on a test pressing - nobody seems to know how many were pressed!
This is a "double-A side" pressing BUT with slightly different etched matrix numbers suggesting it was mastered "the same" on both sides, the only differences being the A b/w B suffix to the actual "matrix number", and there's also a "(1)" at the tail end of the plating ID number, b/w a "(2)" suffix on the other side, after the (identical) plating ID number, see the close-up photos
BIG classic at all the Discos back in the day, especially the underground clubs,
and Especially the legendary underground clubs like THE LOFT and
THE PARADISE GARAGE
A MUST for the serious collector and to impress your collector buddies with the ultimate "DJ HARD-ON" piece!
VPI Machine-cleaned vinyl and the A side label is the usual generic
Monarch Record Mfg. Co TEST PRESSING label with no details filled in.
The B-side label has the hand-written artist name and song title, which was probably done on all the copies, since there probably were VERY few pressed.
Visually graded vinyl looks VG++ and also PLAYS excellent.
This copy was VPI Machine-Cleaned.
EXCELLENT sonics and it sounds WONDERFUL on a good (decent) sound-system, with great, and very tasteful stereo separation.
I will gladly combine shipping so that you get the most affordable cost. Contact me before paying, so that I can adjust your invoice.
I've been buying and selling vinyl and CDs on and off eBay for decades.
