Released in 1973, I am offering today this original rare UK white label test pressing of this debut single from QUEEN which is titled "KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE" backed with SON & DAUGHTER. The vinyl is in clean very good plus condition and plays through well with no sticks or skips etc. These white labels play much better than the regular stock copies with much richer audio
TEST PRESSINGS, AS SOME MIGHT NOT KNOW, WERE MADE TO TRY OUT THE STAMPERS OF RECORDS AT THE PRESSING PLANT PRIOR TO FULL PRODUCTION AND WERE MADE IN VERY SMALL QUANTITY, USUALLY 10 OR MUCH LESS. THESE WOULD THEN BE HANDED TO THE BAND,THEIR AGENT,THE PRODUCER OF THE RECORD ETC TO TEST PLAY THE VINYL DISCS FOR QUALITY CONTROL PURPOSES. OCCASIONALLY THEY WOULD FIND THAT THE MIX OF A PARTICULAR TRACK WAS OUT, OR THE THEY WERE UNHAPPY WITH THE TRACK LISTING, AND THEN NEW PRESSINGS WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE UNTIL EVERYONE WAS SATISFIED WITH THE OUTCOME.
The single comes complete with its original generic white sleeve which is in very good condition, Clean with no splits or stickers etc but has the name and title written in the top corner and has a name written in the other corner.
I have just played this through for these listing purposes and it plays well with excellent audio with absolutely no sticks or skips etc.
I try to be accurate in my grading as I know what its like to buy miss graded items but won't insult you by writing song lyrics etc. If you feel I have not described this correctly I am happy to refund you providing I receive the item back in the same condition as it leaves me.
THIS RECORD WAS PLAY TESTED ON A LINN THROUGH A MUSIC FIDELITY AMP
