ST. CHRISTOPHER Bacharach 10" MAYKING TEST PRESSING mini album UK 1990 SARAH REC

	£		75
	$		99

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS: To avoid delays following the cyber attack on the UK Royal Mail, I'll be sending all PARCELS (records & rolled posters) via eBay's Global Shipping Programme (INCLUDING THIS ONE), priced by eBay, and unfortunately NO COMBINED SHIPPING.
LETTERS (T shirts, postcards, cassettes, folded posters) will now be sent via Royal Mail in the usual way so combined shipping for these items is reinstated. 
I'm SORRY for this change to my usual service, which is outside of my control. I'll revert to using Royal Mail for parcels (including combined shipping) when the Royal Mail Services are back to normal.

HAPPY HUNTING!

THIS is part of a collection of promo vinyl that I'll be listing over the next few months. It comes from a prominent 1990s NME journalist. 

IT is a white label MAYKING test pressing of the debut mini album by Sarah Records/C86 favourites St. Christopher, manufactured for Sarah in 1990. This 10" features all eight tracks that were on the commercially released vinyl. The white labels have handwritten catalogue number, manufacturing or release date, and A/B by the manufacturer, plus band name, and track list hand written by Sarah staff (no album title, possibly not confirmed at test pressing stage). It is supplied in its original plain plastic sleeve. All Sarah test pressings were made in very low quantities.

I've been selling original promo items on eBay for over seven years with 100% satisfaction. 

It is one of many original 1980s/1990s promo posters, vinyl, T shirts, tapes, postcards, VHS videos etc. from independent artists and labels to be listed in February PLUS SOME MINT UNPLAYED ORIGINAL STOCK VINYL from similar artists.

Postcards, flyers, stickers & factory folded posters are FREE POSTAGE with this item. COMBINED POSTAGE DISCOUNT available on multiple vinyl orders. Please see information below for the terms of these offers..

YOU MIGHT FIND SOMETHING ELSE YOU LIKE IF YOU VIEW MY OTHER AUCTIONS & BUY IT NOW ITEMS. Prices from £1! 

CONDITION: SHINY VINYL LOOKS UNPLAYED. The condition of any other parts (e.g. generic sleeves, press releases) are as seen in the photos.  

A NOTE ABOUT WHITE LABEL TEST PRESSINGS: Produced for the record label in very small quantities (sometimes as few as 10) to check that there are no faults in the mastering or pressing processes. Sometimes there are enough pressed for promo purposes (typically around 50-100).

Everything I list is on a similar coloured background so that you know they are my own photos. 

I am the first and only owner of everything I list unless stated otherwise.
