Description
This record is not a promo. Its a test pressing. These are one off records cut in the studio by the sound enginers. An admin person would then hand write details of the recording on the poly lined sleeve. They are always in card sleeves as this is made well before the sleeve is even designed let alone produced.
These are really rare and mostly 1 offs. The producer would then sanction the production of promos and the pressing runs. (after checking the recordings are to the satisfaction of the sound enginers) Not many of these exist as when production of the records started they are generally destroyed. The expression ultra rare is genuinely used to desribe this record.
On the label it reads: " This pressing is not necessarily representive of the finnished record and must not be used for reveiw purposes" I have not played and compared the lp to the realesed record. It is possable that the released record may differ from the test pressing. I have no way of knowing.
Ultra Rare - Pink Label - Genuine Test Pressing - Ronnie Aldrich Top Of The World. Condition is "Used". Dispatched with Royal Mail 2nd Class.
Desirable and collectable vinyl record in very good plus condition. Buy more and combine postage. Please note that I dont use stock photos. The image is, the actual record you will receive. I aim to provide all images uncropped so you can veiw the edges of the sleeves.
Mint (M)The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
Excellent (EX)The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good (VG)VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a songs intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise. Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have jukeboxes will use VG records in them and not think twice. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape. VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring
ware in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it wont be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too.
Good (G)Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc0
