Extraordinarily rare test pressing of Let There Be Rock by AC/DC, Atlantic Records April 21, 1977. The LP is labeled Test Pressing AC/DC Atlantic Records SD 3651 Presswell Records STC 773851-E. The cover was water damaged as shown. The original typed song list is present (with a typo on song 4 side B - Posie, not Rosie).


The good news is that the record and sleeve were stored separately and are undamaged and the LP has very light wear. I have neither played nor cleaned it.


The water damaged cover was lightly wiped with a diluted bleach solution and is stable and not mildewed.


Side one is engraved Porky (?) Prime Cut and ST-C-773851-E. Side two is engraved Master Room and

ST-C-773851-E.


The record belonged to Steve Leeds who was head of promotions for Atlantic Records and a record industry legend. He was my next door neighbor in Manhattan in the 1970s and I got the record directly from him.


This rare piece is being sold without reserve - thank you!
