Description

 ****DETAILS : A real Beatles rarity... but with white labels and white sleeve you wouldn't know it until you look at the matrix info in the run out grooves

    Matrix / Runout (Side A - Etched): WRMB 352-A
    Matrix / Runout (Side B - Etched): WRMB 352-B
Matrix confirms that this LP is The Wizardo Records pressing of LP of out takes that many preferred  over the released versions -
this is:
" Get Back Sessions - Studio Outtakes" Wizardo Records.... Cat # --WRMB 320 (but with a matrix # of 352 which was confusing to me for years until I ran into non-test press, regular copies that had the identical matrix)


This Wizardo piece of some legend never had a track listing in any version of it. All the pressings of it made had labels. Usually red labels with silver text. This one does not. It is not a copy of the Wizardo piece as it has the correct matrix #s of the Wizardo piece. Various pressings and re issues came with a colored paper front insert, and the original Wizardo version never had a track list. Not much of a reason for the test press of this to have an insert, Test presses are just made (they make a few test copies before they make the full pressing quantity) for approval by pressing plant to  whoever is paying to press the record (rec company, band) to check the mastering and sound quality to "OK" it to go forward with the press or reject it if errors found (tracks are out of order, sound issues, wrong mix submitted in error). I

here is Track list we made while playgrading it.

1. One After 909, 2. Don't Let Me Down,  3. Dig A Pony,  4 I've Got A Feeling,  5. Get Back --Side Two  1. For You Blue,   2. Teddy Boy,  3. Two Of Us,  4 Dig It,  5. Let It Be

VINYL - VG/VG+..no feel-able marks at all but enough light ones to put it in this territory visually. I'd say looks VG and plays VG+ or better.
SLEEVE -  VG. just a white generic sleeve

I bought this labeled as a test press in the 80s. it had the right matrix. it checked out. I'd have the occasional doubt tho that it might just be copy of some sort. I recently asked a guy who is 15 years older than me if he thought it was a legit unlabeled test press and he told me he ordered from Wizardo directly in the 70s and it seemed legit to him. it had the same matrix as his copy did. I asked if he'd ever seen one with white labels and he said it's hard to remember with all the related product that came in years after, but he didn't think so. He said the matrix proves it's worth. I agree.
