Description

THE LIBERTINES - UNIQUE FACTORY ERROR TEST PRESSING OF MEGA RARE DOUBLE THICKNESS #5
I have decided to release some of my huge Libertines collection for sale. It is the first time any of these ultra rare records have seen the light of day. Below is one of 5 Rough Trade error test pressings of the second album I will be releasing over the coming week. I have numbered them 1-5 for ease of processing. These are very rare and unique records, usually available only within the industry and were made to be destroyed after label alignment. There are only 5 of these and when they are gone that's it. there are no more in existance. If you win more than one I will be happy to offer combined postage discounts. See below under postage...
Here is a unique piece of Libertines history. This is a genuine test pressing of the classic self titled second (last) album. However this true one-off never even made it out of the factory due to the mis-aligned heat melted centre labels! This is a super unique double thickness flat edge test pressing, it must weigh about 500g!!! It feels a lot like those old 78's and is completely inflexible - imagine the thickness of 2 records pressed together and you are getting close. The edge has not been tapered at all and it flat-cut. I've tried to show all this in the pics. You will never see anything else like this again. This is a truly unique piece of Libertines memorabilia, the only one in existence and would look amazing framed. It has the correct factory matrix numbers: 
Side 1: RTRADLP 166A
Side 2: RTRADLP 166B
You are purchasing this as a unique investment opportunity. It is the only one in existence. Comes in plain white windowed sleeve. 
ONCE THIS HAS GONE IT WILL NEVER BE OFFERED FOR SALE AGAIN. DON'T MISS IT!
A real one off investment grade opportunity. Once it's gone that's it. Snooze and lose on this one.
Please see my other auctions for some more highly sought-after alt. vinyl rarities.
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING POSTAGE: This rare record is currently located in AUSTRALIA. I am offering registered international air mail shipping to the winner at £18, not the £7 advertised by eBay, so please wait to be invoiced with the CORRECT postage amount of £18 before paying. All subsequent records will be discounted at £7 each thereafter. For some reason eBay caps postage at £7 but it is impossible to send it this cheaply from Australia. I have been told by Australia Post to allow for 14-21 days to reach overseas destinations. (Although it usually takes about 10 working days to the UK/U.S from Oz.)
