- RECORD FOR SALE:
- ARTIST: PLEASE SEE IMAGES.
- TITLE: "PLEASE SEE IMAGES"
- LABEL: PLEASE SEE IMAGES.
- FORMAT AND DESCRIPTION:
- FIRSTLY, PLEASE NOTE THE ALBUM IS BEING SOLD AS A VERY RARE ARTEFACT AND FILLER EXAMPLE, AND NOT REALLY AS A PLAYABLE ALBUM. THE PRICE REFLECTS THE CONDITION AND RARITY. PLEASE ALSO NOTE THE ALBUM COULD IMPROVE ENORMOUSLY FROM A PROFESSIONAL AND THOROUGH CLEAN.
- TEST PRESS FACTORY SAMPLE FIRST PRESS VINYL, AND LABELS. USA 12-TRACK, BLACK VINYL, STEREO 12-INCH, 33rpm, 12" LP ALBUM, PRESSED IN THE UK.
- An original stereo test pressing (factory/demonstration sample) of the 1967 Deram debut album first issued in the US in August 1967. This American version is different from that issued in the UK in June 1967, which had two additional tracks - "We Are Hungry Men" and "Maids Of Bond Street". Decca Group Records releases, in North America, in the sixties, were very often pressed in the UK, hence the label, and then shipped to the States to be put into sleeves that had already been printed locally. This test pressing would have been part of the quality control and approval process carried out by Decca in the UK prior to shipping.
