The Libertines The Libertines [Rough Trade Test Pressing. 1of 10 Only!!!!]

This is quite simply one of the rarest Libertines records you will ever see bar none. An article was written on this very record in last months Record Collector magazine (March Issue) by a guy called Jake Kennedy.  RC valued it at £80 but Kennedy argued that it was already worth more than this estimation given that there are only 10 copies in existance. This was obtained a long time ago around the release date by a contact from inside the industry and is 100% genuine. Don't Miss it.

OK, so this has gotta be the ultimate Libertines collectable. 1 of only 10 white label test pressings for the awesome self-titled second (and last) LP! Comes in plain white window inner sleeve which is housed in a brown outer test sleeve with hand written instructions to "Play This LP... Now!" ...that's good advice by the way...

Hurrah for the Libertines, they did what all great bands should do in our opinion, they followed "the Twisted Puppy 3-step plan to avoid turning rubbish"; i.e.  (a) explode onto the scene , (b) make one (ok two then) genius LPs and (c) then implode in a mess of drugs and infighting so we don't all have to sit and watch them grow old embarrassingly (...are you listening Oasis?). The Libertines didn't disappoint on this score.  We don't have any more copies of this so once it's gone it's gone (if we can ever prize it out of a colleague's clammy little mitts, that is!). For what it's worth, it's in mint condition (like you're ever gonna play it). The influence of the Libertines is as strong as ever and growing, so snap this up now before you have to get a second mortgage to afford it. Good Luck!
