This item is not for sale. Gripsweat is an archive of past sales and auctions, none of the items are available for purchase.
A VERY rare chance to own an original test pressing of The Specials 1979 debut album; this was pressed in a very, very small quantity to test the sound - with no intention of being available to the public - I have a small number of test pressings of albums purchased from an ex record executive.
Studied under strong light I can just about make out a few light marks likely from removing the record from it's inner bag.
This is as close to mint as you could possibly get. Just... wow!
I will be selling off a number of rare rock & prog LPs over the next few days; 1st pressings & also test pressings.
Please keep an eye on my listings!!!
The LPs I'm selling are from a well loved personal collection, they have not been cleaned before sale so may have fingerprints or dust.
Will be sent in a lok tab LP mailer & 450g plastic sleeve.
Please expect 3 - 5 working days dispatch and 3 - 5 workings days delivery time after that.
If you're overseas I will send using eBay's Global Shipping Programme - in this instance; eBay decides the final postage cost, not me & the time it takes to reach you might be greater.
Thank you for looking.
Any questions - please feel free to ask, thank you!
