Ray Wylie Hubbard & The Cowboy Twinkies, Vinyl LP, Reprise TEST PRESSING (1975)

$

120

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 2 MIL poly inner sleeve..

I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.

New and vintage vinyl is hard to grade strictly using eBay’s system because the record and the cover are two different components. Therefore, I call a record new and mint if it is opened but has never been played.  I use the grading category to describe the cover condition.

• Ray was a Southwest area favorite with an avid, dedicated following who never made it nationally. He is still performing and making records today.
• This Test Pressing is his one-and-only major label debut from 1975.
• This rare copy has never been played.
• The generic, die-cut, paper on board cover has tight seams and shows no wear.
• I have included a soft poly inner sleeve.
• This is a one-owner that the Seller got new in 1975. It has been in storage for 43 years.
