Description
TONY BENNETT And BILL EVANS's "The Bennett Evans Album" Remastered by Audiophile Pioneer MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LAB (117) and Pressed in JAPAN, is a TEST PRESSING with White MFSL Test Pressing labels (seen in Scan 2), which have the LP # and Side (A/B), as well as a hand-stamped "Sample" printed on each label. This Copy comes in a White Jacket with The Artists and the LP # written in Pen on the upper right front. The Cover comes in a plastic outer sleeve.
Test Pressings are the rarest and better sounding than the regular pressings, since they were the first to be made off of the mother-stamper and were usually limited to no more than 10. In the case of Audiophile records, this can make some difference to the most discerning of listeners and along with their scarcity make then highly collectable.
This and many other MFSL Test Pressings (& Regular MFSL records) I will be offering are from a former MFSL employee who has confirmed that he has Rarely or Never Played most of the Test Presses (and Never Played the Mint Regular releases).
The LP is in NEAR MINT PLUS condition, and appears to have been played once with a single visible spindle mark on each label, and not a mark or scratch of any kind on the clean, glossy vinyl.
The White Cover is also in NEAR MINT PLUS condition with all seams fully intact, the corners sharp and the front and back showing Next-To-No wear.
There is no Reserve! What you see is what you get. I prefer a Money Order/Cashiers Check within 10 days of end of auction.

Item is GUARANTEED SATISFACTION. Please check out my other auctions for more early MFSL LPs & Test Pressings.
