Description
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 a 3 MIL poly inner sleeve.
I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.
- This Test Pressing has never been played.
- The label copy sheet was not attached to the outer cover.
- The die-cut paper on board cover has tight seams and shows no wear.
- The plain white die-cut inner sleeve has yellowed with age. I have included a soft poly inner sleeve.
- This is a one-owner that Seller got new from Warner Bros. Records prior to release in 1978.
