Why are test pressing so rare ?? A test pressing is the very first pressing of a record. It's made so that the artist, producer, engineer, and record company executives can approve the record. They are pressed in extremely limited numbers ( like 50 to 100 ) and are never repressed. They are sent out to selected people before the cover and labels have been printed.
Overall Condition : Cover : VG+ / Record : M
The cover is VG+. There are no seam splits and there is slight ring wear. There is writing on the cover. The vinyl looks mint and it plays mint. The A-side label has the record number written on it.
I will package this record between two pieces of 1/2 inch thick cardboard. ( It's so thick that you will save it and use again. ) It will weigh 21 ounces ( 1 pound, 5 ounces ) when ready to ship. You can figure out your own postage costs for US Priority or Media Mail. It will be sent by First Class Mail International to overseas buyers. ( Buyers from Italy will assume all risks for shipping to their country) I will send it as soon as you pay ( same day of before 2 PM and next day if after 2 PM ) I will combine postage if you win more than one record. This record is from a no smoking and no pets home.
Serious bidder only. If you bid you must be prepared to honor your bid. I expect payment within 3 days, but will gladly wait up to seven days, if you contact me. I no longer accept bids from buyers that have more than two strikes against them.
