Todd Rundgren

"A Wizard / A True Star" RARE Columbia Label TEST PRESS LP! No Reserve!

Todd Rundgren - "A Wizard / A True Star" Bearsville Records BR2133 (Stereo) from 1973. Super Hard to find Rarity for you Todd fans! A White Label Test Pressing of "A Wizard / A True Star" which, as we all know, was on Bearsville Records, a part of the Warner Bros. empire. What makes this one odd is that it is a Columbia Records pressing! Matrix numbers in the run-out vinyl read "BR-2133" and "31554/5-1E/F". White label reads "Columbia Record Productions - Santa Maria". Hand labeled with the Artist / Title and Side. Unlike most Test Pressings that you might run across which tend to either come without a sleeve or just a generic one, this example comes complete with the full package - Die Cut Gatefold Sleeve and Picture / Lyric Inner Sleeve!

In super condition! The Shaped Gatefold Cover shows just the slightest bit of edge wear, still close to new condition and should easily rate Near Mint! Please note - any marks, streaks or blotches that you may see which are not mentioned in the write up (like those in the upper right corner of the cover) are scanner artifacts, not defects in the record cover... I will list any actual defects! The vinyl is also super nice. There may be a couple slight sleeve scuffs if you really look but basically, AS NEW (may be unplayed) and easily Near Mint. The labels and Inner Picture / Lyric Sleeve are likewise Near Mint!

Records are graded to the best of my ability to Goldmine Visual standards. If you are not familiar with this grading system (or even if you think you are!), please check it out before bidding I have summarized the important (i.e. I think everyone knows what Mint means) points below in Goldmine's words:

Very Good Plus (VG+):  Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK.

Very Good (VG): Surface noise will be evident upon playing,... Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.

I stand by my grades but would like us to be on the same page so no problems arise. I have been selling Vintage Vinyl for over eleven years on the net and I can count the returns I've had on one hand so I believe my grading is fair and accurate. One important note, I try to grade to these Goldmine guides as best as I can understand and apply them. This gives us both a written standard to go by rather than having to guess. But.... it also means that I don't issue refunds over differences of opinion in grading i.e. "That's not MY idea of a VG record!" - I don't know what your standards are and, as such, can't grade to them. I guarantee that items I sell will meet my description, nothing more or less! If you are not satisfied that a purchase meets my description, I will do what I can to make it right if you give me the chance and work with me! Please feel free to check my feedback.
