Description
This is a near mint condition, very rare, white label LP test pressing Gary Numan "Telekon". It was manufactured by Specialty Records for Beggars Banquet/Atlantic Records U.S. in 1980. Test pressings were made in advance of regular pressings for quality control purposes. They were very selectively distributed to record label V.I.P.s and the artist and their management for approval. Very few were produced and most copies were destroyed. They were never made available to the general public. The labels are white Specialty with "Unapproved Tests For Internal Use Only" stamped in blue ink on both sides. The record comes in a white cardboard jacket. Taped on the front of the jacket is the original label copy that has the track listings and production information. On the back of the jacket stamped in blue ink is "Unapproved Tests For Internal Use Only". It has had one owner, a former record company executive who has had it filed away since 1980.
