Description
Two Test Pressings in Excellent condition,Sleeve Gatefold has a light crease down opening.
A complete 2 record set of un-released white label advance pressings of the Rolling Stones album "Love You Live" which was issued 8th October 1977. They have been played by me and have never been played before hence their absolutely fantastic condition.
The original album was released on Rolling Stones Records who had a distribution deal in UK with Atlantic / Warners and this was the last album under that deal at the time, shortly after the Stones signed a new record deal with EMI for UK but remained with Atlantic / Warners in US.
The material for these records was taken from the Stones' 1975 "Tour of the Americas", 1976 "Tour of Europe" and one side (3) live material from "The Mugambo" Toronto in 1977. This would be the third official Stones live album.
The Records: The records themselves have plain white labels on all four sides with writing in red felt tip pen sides 1 to 4,also some very faint writing very hard to read and Stamped in yellow print PROPPE 197, No spindle wear etc. The only information is etched into the run out grooves of the immaculate vinyl which has a beautiful as new sheen without any marks, scratches or even light marking of any kind. They look as good as the day they came hot off the presses!
Each disc has the following information: ROLLING STONES ST RS 773937-B
ROLLING STONES ST RS 773938-A
ROLLING STONES ST RS 773939-A
ROLLING STONES ST RS 773940-A
On each disc there is a tiny stamp of "STERLING" which refers to the STERLING SOUND studio in New York where the records were mastered. Made in Germany, These matrices are obviously the very first as the album had not yet gone into production.
first advance pressings before the album went into production are indeed a rarity and to have both discs in separate sleeves together is again very rare.
