Description

  • Just to remind everyone that postage into Europe from the UK is still awful with long delays and bizarre customs charges ( for you not me ) which seem to change all the time. I can't recommend anyone from Europe bidding.

  • CAN
      'TAGO MAGO'
      TEST PRESSING
    3  one-sided LP'S
     ORIGINAL
     ULTRA RARE
     W/ COVER

The bad news about these test pressings is that -
Side 4 is missing.
Over the years collecting CAN I have test pressings of their other LP's.

 In 1972 I had Tago Mago test pressings -without side 4. I then had another copy from a friend at UA a couple of years later-again without side 4. After spending a long time trying to find one, with no luck, I gave up.
Oddly enough I only have side 2 of the UK UA pressing of Future Days-again this was from my friend at UA-which suggests a pattern.
Anyway back to TAGO MAGO.I haven't seen any test pressings ( with or without Side 4 ) offered for sale so I think this is great opportunity to own a copy even though incomplete.
The first set included the fold out, back 'tongue' cover and since the records haven't been in and out it's in not wrinkled or torn. The cover itself has rubbing on edges and corners-there is also a bend lower left. Some ring wear and some rubbing on cover-basically on the right side, in the middle. Because the cover wasn't laminated rubbing seem common on most copies. The camera has made the rubbing look worse than it is but it is, obviously, there.
Discs
The 3 one sided LP's are in great shape-mainly because they've hardly been touched. On one blank side i.e. without music, there are a few marks-not unusual for a genuine test pressing.
The records will be sent in fresh inner sleeves and outer card covers
The information from the records is as follows
