Description
RY COODER's "Jazz" Remastered by Audiophile Pioneer MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LAB (085) in the 80's with the Chatsworth address and Pressed in JAPAN, is a TEST PRESSING with White Test Pressing labels (Scan 2) and a hand-stamped "Sample " on each label. Test Pressings are the rarest and better sounding than the regular pressings, since they were the first to be made off of the mother-stamper and were usually limited to no more than 10. In the case of Audiophile records, this can make some difference to the most discerning of listeners and along with their scarcity make then highly collectable. Most Test Pressings come in a White Jacket (which I will also be selling), however this one has a regular cover making it even more interesting. Also included are the original rice sleeve and double-cardboard insert (with MFSL info) for the LP (Not Usually Found With Test Pressings). The Cover comes in a plastic outer sleeve. There is also a 1-page insert with pictures of the sessions (w/ DAVID LINDLEY & EARL HINES) and an essay by Cooder.
This and many other MFSL Test Pressings (& Regular MFSL records) I will be offering are from a former MFSL employee who has confirmed that he has Rarely or Never Played most of the Test Presses (and Never Played the Mint Regular releases).
The LP is in strong NEAR MINT condition, and appears to have been played once with a single spindle mark on each label, and the only slight blemish on the clean, glossy, and still static vinyl, a couple of extremely light sleeve marks (Seen only in direct light) on Side A with no affect on the audio.
The Cover also is in strong NEAR MINT condition with all seams fully intact, corners sharp, and the front and back showing just the lightest of wear with No ringwear on the black background.
