This is the rarest of the Rare....
a 1974 TEST Pressing of the debut album 'Axe Victim' by Be Bop Deluxe
This is one of 3 made for the band members.
It had never been played till I made the video below.
Mint and in original sleeve with Abbey Road filing code number on upper right.
please see photos for info hand inscribed by mastering engineer 'NICK W'
side one reads MASTERED AT 'ABBEY ROAD' - NICK
side two reads NICK W
This was left at Abbey Road for 21 years and never picked up by one of the band members.
I got it from a friend in the UK while on tour there in 1995, who got it from an intern at Abbey Road when he was tasked with 'cleaning out a storage closet' !! what a great job that would be.
There is only this one besides the other two that are presumably owned by the members of Be Bop Deluxe.
I had NEVER played it until today. It sounds AMAZING!!
