This auction is for a STILL SEALED, NUMBERED (3 of 20), 45rpm 2LP CLARITY Test Pressing Box Set. This set consists of 2 single sided discs, for optimal sound performance, of the Classic Records 200gram reissue of Billie Holiday's "Songs For Distingue Lovers". This title was planned, but never released as a 200g set at 45rpm on clarity vinyl, thereby making this an ultra collectible set.

These highly collectible test pressings are from the first stamper. Test pressings reflect the closest you can get to the lacquers and hence have a special collectible value and store of value.

Only a very small number of these unreleased sets exist and thus this is a special opportunity to hear your favorite title on Classic's 200g Super Vinyl Profile on Clarity Vinyl at 45 rpm - it doesn't get any better than this!

This set is packaged in a white special edition box and each test pressing comes in a white jacket. Original jacket is included as a bonus. Jacket in mint condition.

*45 rpm records have long been recognized as providing a higher fidelity musical experience resulting purely from the cartridge being able to extract more of the nuance from the complex vertical and horizontal groove modulations in stereo LP’s. Further, Classic Records 45 rpm “single sided” pressings dramatically reduce the mechanical resonances created by the cartridge during playback by allowing these resonances to be more fully transmitted to and absorbed by the turntable platter. Classic Records Clarity Vinyl 45 rpm pressings are designed and manufactured to provide the “LOWEST DISTORTION” in every aspect of LP playback resulting in putting the listener as close to the music as possible. With only 20 copies of this definitive reissue, don't hesitate before the price on the secondary market skyrockets!
