Description

Very rare 2023 single LP UK test pressing! The vinyl is in EX+ (excellent plus) condition visually with a wonderful sheen to it - the most notable flaw in the playing area is on side B, being a hair lying on top of the vinyl (as seen in photo 9)! I didn't want to risk removing it and marking the vinyl but thought I'd point it out. 
What's particularly interesting about this test pressing are the matrix numbers, which are 266225E1/A (side A) & 266225E2/A (side B) with the date of production indicated as 20th June 2023. These matrix numbers don't show up on Discogs or any other release database, and there was no vinyl reissue of this classic album later that year or since by Chiswick. It seems that this may have been a test pressing for a vinyl reissue which was probably cancelled, making it a real extreme rarity!
This item was bought direct from Ace Records at an event they held - it will be well packed with a thick double wall stiffener either side of the record.
