# ELTON JOHN - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (SPEAKERS CORNER TEST PRESSING)

**MINT- / NEAR MINT COPY — 1 of Only 30 Worldwide — The Ultimate Audiophile Holy Grail**


**Catalog Number:** DJLPD 1001 / DJM Records

**Pressing Plant:** Pallas (Germany)

**Format:** 2-LP 180g Audiophile Test Pressing (White Label)

**Vinyl Condition:** Near Mint (NM)

**Sleeve & Insert Condition:** Near Mint (NM)


Up for auction is a museum-grade, stunningly preserved copy of the official Speakers Corner Records test pressing of Elton John's 1973 masterpiece, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road." Reportedly limited to just 30 copies worldwide for factory quality control, this is a sonically flawless, definitive analog pressing on 100% virgin vinyl cut directly from the original master tapes.


Unlike most surviving factory test pressings, BOTH the vinyl discs and the accompanying outer sleeve/insert material are in immaculate, crisp Near Mint condition.


### Box Set Attributes & Inclusions:

* **The Vinyl:** Pristine white-label test pressings displaying an intense, flawless mirror gloss with absolutely no scratches, scuffs, or hairline marks. Dead-silent playback.

* **The Sleeve:** Factory-original generic white test pressing sleeve in outstanding Near Mint condition—perfectly sharp corners, rigid structure, no ring wear, and no split seams.

* **The Insert:** Includes the original printed German/English A4 reference sheet from Speakers Corner Records, entirely crisp and free of tears, deep creases, or discoloration.


### Why This Pressing Matters:

The 1999 Speakers Corner reissue is celebrated by high-end audiophiles as the finest-sounding master of this album ever produced. Because a test pressing utilizes the very first, freshest pull from the master stampers, this record delivers unparalleled transient snap, a jaw-dropping soundstage depth, and low-frequency bass authority that regular consumer pressings cannot replicate.


### Shipping & High-Value Insurance Protection:

This piece will be handled with white-glove care. It will be packaged safely in an oversized, heavy-duty cardboard record box with multiple layers of bubble wrap. To protect the jacket from damage during transit, the vinyl discs will be packaged securely in separate audiophile sleeves outside of the main sleeve to eliminate any risk of edge split seams.


Fully insured shipping with tracking, strict signature delivery confirmation, and premium protective wrapping are fully covered. Bid with absolute confidence!
