Background -
"A2" TEST PRESSINGThis is a super rare, long out of print, audiophile LP TEST PRESSING title made by the famous CLASSIC RECORDS label. As all audiophiles know, Classic Records is no more. Their products have already become very difficult to find as retailers sell off their inventory and everything the company made is all out of print.
These test pressings are all FACTORY SEALED and come in generic white record jackets (like the picture with this listing - we provided a picture of the original cover of the LP so that a collector will better understand the LP we are referring to with respect to these test pressings), with a loose fitting plastic outer sleeve, in sealed condition. The information contained on the disc is stamped on the front of the record jacket (see details below).
As inventories keep shrinking and titles disappear, the only direction the pricing on these rarities will go is up, so this is your chance to secure one for your record collection!!
Test Pressing Manufacturing date: March 2, 1995

Classic Records LP Item - audiophile issue, TEST PRESSING
-
Pressing is in STEREO
-
Superb sound on this audiophile spectacular featuring Alexander Gibson conducting the London Symphony Orchestra, performing the Sibelius Symphony No. 5 in E-Flat, Op. 82. Recorded in England.
-
Highly sought after title by audiophiles and music lovers alike - the stereo, original shaded dog is very rare and expensive, especially in near mint shape - in our humble opinion, the Classic Records reissue bests the original in many ways - in many years of collecting we have had a good number of originals. All of them pale in comparison to the reissue, primarily due to condition, noise, dynamics, etc.
-
The Test Pressing stamped information indicates: Mar 2 1995, LSC 2405, 45, A2 - we can't be sure as the item is sealed, but we believe this stamped information to indicate the date of manufacturing of the test pressing, the record catalog number, the side of the record and stamper number, and that the LP is cut at 45rpm for greatest dynamics - if someone in the audiophile community has more information about this configuration, please email us the details and we will provide an update on this listing.
