Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

Album ships in a 2 MIL poly cover sleeve and poly inner sleeve.

I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.

This Test Pressing is a one-owner that the Seller got new from Warner Bros. (Sire's distributor) in 1979. There are spindle marks on both sides but the playing surfaces are clean. The die-cut cover tight seams and has yellowed with age around the edges. The die-cut inner sleeve has yellowed with age. I have included a soft poly inner sleeve. This copy has been in storage for 37 years.

The price includes FREE SHIPPING.
