Description
THIS 2 DISC TEST PRESSING CAME FROM THE COLLECTION OF A NOW DECEASED LONDON BBC SOUND ENGINEER,
THIS WAS AMONGST A LOT OF BBC TEST RECORDS I PURCHASED. I'VE NO IDEA WHY THIS PARTICULAR SET WAS IN THERE BUT THANKFULLY IS IN A SUPERBLY WELL PRESERVED AND NM CONDITION.
THEY ARE ONE SIDED TEST PRESSINGS,( DON'T PLAY THE OTHER SIDE...THERE'S NO GROOVES!) WITH 1G 1G STAMPERS AND WERE THE FIRST TO BE MADE . I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF THESE WERE MADE? MAYBE JUST THE ONE SET, BUT PROBABLY UP TO TEN AS IS USUAL. CERTAINLY THIS WOULD BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AGAIN.
A VERY RARE RECORD UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES NOT ONLY THAT BUT A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF JAZZ / PROG ROCK.
SEE UNDER THE WEBSITE ProgNotFrog FOR SOME MORE DETAIL ON THIS MASTERPIECE.
ALSO THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN SIGNED , I CAN'T MAKE OUT THE SIGNATURE AND IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ANY OF THE ARTIST NAMES ON THE SLEEVE. MAYBE IT'S THE PRODUCER OR ENGINEER?
