$

124

Artist:  MICHAEL JACKSON

Title:  “Off the Wall” (First 3 tracks from the album) – Labeled “Normal” / “Compressed”

Label:   CBS RECORDS (Pitman, New Jersey).  Label is white with black text.   Stereo pressing on medium weight vinyl.  Catalog number etched in dead wax appears to be CTC-XRD-G6 / CTC-XRD-G3. 

VERY RARE test pressing, dated 1980, CBS RECORDS / PITMAN.

(Note:  This was found along with several other CBS-Pitman test pressings, each containing one side of albums by Barbra Streisand and Pink Floyd, all of which were issued around that time as part of Columbia Records' brief "Half-Speed Mastersound" series, which leads me to conclude that these test pressings are associated with that endeavor.  The sound quality is AMAZING.)

PLANNING A VISIT TO THE BALTIMORE/WASHINGTON AREA?

 If so, please consider a visit to my booth (Booth 002, down stairs) at the ANTIQUE DEPOT antique mall in historic ELLICOTT CITY, MARYLAND (3720 Maryland Avenue, just off Main Street at the north end of town – open every day of the year except Christmas and Thanksgiving) for some excellent bargain-priced LPs and 45’s. 

Also, I regularly set up at the monthly ARBUTUS RECORD & TAPE EXPO at the Arbutus Fire Hall on Southwestern Boulevard, Baltimore ~ usually held on the 3rd Sunday – but it’s always good to check and confirm).  If you let me know ahead of time of your interests, I will do my best to bring a few extra goodies for your consideration.
