Description

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a test pressing of one of Rock's iconic albums; In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida circa 1968 by Iron Butterfly. This album has been considered by some to be the inspiration for the Heavy Metal Rock movement. Stamped by Presswell Records for ATCO (Atlantic Records) it has a generic white cover and generic white labels with handwritten identifiers. This later was released as catalog # SD 33-250.
Condition notes Cover- White generic cover with hand written identifiers in black marker. Some soiling and staining with slight blurring to the marker as seen with ring wear. 
Condition notes Vinyl- (Cosmetic) LP has faint needle tracks on both sides as well as slight scuffing. Black marker identifies each side on generic white label along with the assigned catalog number. Again some slight blurring of the marker. (Audio) No clicking from needle tracks and minimal pops and clicks. I played this album on two different turntables and in neither case was there appreciable noise. I did detect slight ambient noise between some tracks on side 1 but it was not noticeable during the playing of the tracks. Side 2 is a single track of the title cut so no ambient noise was detected.
