Description
This product is a rare test pressing vinyl record of Meat Loaf's album "Bat Out of Hell" LP released in 1980 on the Epic CBS Mastersound record label. The record features a high-fidelity sound quality, it is a Half Speed Mastered LP, making it a valuable collector's item for fans of classic rock music. This limited edition test pressing comes in a 12" black vinyl format, perfect for any music enthusiast looking to add a unique piece to their collection. This is an extremely rare test pressing of the CBS Mastersound Half Speed Mastered version of the classic LP "Bat Out of Hell". It is also very unusual, as the "A" side plays the first half of the album and the "B" side plays an uncredited piano sonata. I can take a wild guess that it is Jim Steinman playing the piano piece of second half of the album solo, but as I said it is uncredited. It comes in a plain white cover with "Mastersound New Release" and "Nov. 05, 1980" rubber stamped on the front. The "A" side of the record label has a test pressing sticker on it. I've been collecting records for about 55 years, and I have a huge collection. I sell off my duplicates and records that I'm no longer interested in. I think my grading is pretty good, and I play grade whenever I can. But I'm human and we all make mistakes once in a while, so if there's a problem, please contact me. Shipping by media mail is $5.50 for 1 or 2 LPs, $6.50 for 3 or 4 LPs. For more than 4, contact me for an exact amount. Description of my grading, I try to stick by this scale: NM = A record that looks brand new EX = A record that has a very minor flaw that has no effect on the play VG+ = A record that has obviously been played and enjoyed, but also used very carefully and taken good care of. There might be some very light scratches that have no or very minimal effect on the play VG = Your average used record. Has some obvious scratches, none are deep enough to be felt. It plays well, the music sounds very good, but there is minor background noise or light clicks VG- = A record with lots of scratches and some that can be felt. It still plays through, the music still sounds good, no distortion, but lots of background noise and / or clicks G = Lots of scratches, but still plays through, although very noisy and the music is possibly a little distorted. F = partially playable P = unplayable, a wall hanger
