Description
Condition is E. Test pressing of unissued ARC 16972-2 which is later mentioned as may have been issued as a party-records 78. This is the version on Stash LP 101 Copulatin' Blues which is more explicit than the version on M13442 which is 16972-1. This recording is very clean and audible and clear compared to the LP that is here for comparison. I found it in a stack of test pressings in the collection. The markings in the wax are PB-A and PB-B, Please see photos. There is evidence of previous use.
