Description

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 3 MIL poly inner sleeve.

I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.

  • This is a Test Pressing of Dire Straits eponymous debut album.
  • This copy appears to have been played at least once. There is a spindle mark on one side. The playing surfaces are clean.
  • The single piece die-cut cover has tight seams and shows no wear.
  • The inner sleeve is plain white die-cut paper. I have included a soft poly inner sleeve.
  • This is a one-owner. Seller got it new from Warner Bros. in 1978. It has been in storage for 38 years.

  • The price includes FREE SHIPPING and INSURANCE.
