Description
Keith Richards – Winos Live ’92 (2×12”) TEST PRESSING SET – BMGCAT520BOX21/22 – Ultra-Rare
Up for sale is an exceptionally scarce pair of official vinyl test pressings for Keith Richards – Winos Live ’92, produced by Once Upon A Time Music Ltd / BMG. These are the A/B and C/D discs for the full 2×12” album, pressed on 06/05/21, and labelled with the internal catalogue number BMGCAT520BOX21/22.
Test pressings like these are produced in extremely limited quantities—usually only a handful—so engineers, label staff and artists can approve audio quality before factory production begins. They are never commercially available, making them one of the most sought-after formats for serious collectors of Stones-related rarities.
What You’re Getting
• Complete set of both records:
• Disc 1 – Sides A/B (Sticker ref: 33670 / 14)
• Disc 2 – Sides C/D (Sticker ref: 33670 / 13)
• Original white-label vinyl in plain white polylined sleeves
• Official factory test pressing stickers with mastering info, date, and project details
• Extremely low pressing numbers – both marked “1”, indicating first stamper checks
• Dated 06-05-21
These were created during production for the Winos Live ’92 release and originate from the manufacturing approval process—not a bootleg or unofficial cut.
Condition
• Vinyl: Near Mint / unplayed as supplied. Clean, bright, no signs of handling.
• Sleeves: Plain white sleeves showing light handling marks, consistent with factory storage.
• Stickers: Clear, intact, with full engineering data.
Why Test Pressings Matter
Test pressings represent the very first physical copies made from the metalwork. They allow the label to confirm the cut, EQ, and overall fidelity before proceeding to mass production. For collectors, they are the closest you can get to the master, and often only 5–10 copies ever exist.
Authenticity
Completely authentic and original—these came directly from BMG’s production process.
Labels include:
“Once Upon A Time Music Ltd”, project title “Winos Live ’92 2×12”, and internal catalogue code BMGCAT520BOX21/22.
A Rare Opportunity
Keith Richards test pressings almost never surface, and this is a complete set for the full double-vinyl edition. A perfect piece for Stones archivists, Keith Richards collectors, or anyone who appreciates ultra-limited production artefacts.
