A 1981 UK Factory Records test pressing of New Order's MOVEMENT LP (FACT 50).

This test pressing was part of the collection of Joy Division/New Order manager Rob Gretton, and we obtained it directly from his partner, Lesley Gilbert; its extraordinary provenance is noted in the accompanying written lifetime guarantee of authenticity.
It is in Near Mint condition, with MOVEMENT A1/B1 FACT 50 N.O. written on the original generic sleeve, in an unknown hand.

We grade all records visually, cover first, then disc; using the abbreviations M / NM / EX / VG with + and -. We try to describe everything as accurately as possible, and spot check any vinyl flaw that looks like it might make a sound. We regularly receive praise for our grading, but as all grading is subjective, we are happy to give a full refund for anything you aren't happy with no questions asked.

Unlike some eBay sellers, we don't feel the need to hype records by including long reviews or albums, quoting lyrics, making up arcane variations. We just grade accurately, describe any flaw, and sell only high quality rare records in fine condition.
