Description
The Beatles - Blue Album double album 12" vinyl TEST PRESSING
EMI UK / * Please note this is from the 1994 remastered and reissued edition, released on blue vinyl.
Record #1: PCSPP 7071
Record #2: PCSPP 7072
Please note this is a double sided sided pressing of both record 1 and record 2. The entire album is present here on two discs as it is on the finished record.
Outstanding and beyond rare, this particular record is part of a set of 4 which would have been used to check the press quality before production *please see the image of the outer folder. This is not included, but I will include an A4 copy*.
I have listened to the opening tracks only to verify they are what the numbers claim they are and while it sounded great, I offer no opinion as to whether it is of an improved sonic quality when compared to a standard pressing
It appears to have been played little. There are some ultra fine marks present most likely from simply being removed from the sleeve and outside of a little dust accumulated from the last -almost 30 years- it remains in excellent condition and I would rate it as a VG+ copy...grading critically. Supplied with original paper sleeves as shown in the images and I will add outer sleeves and much more for packaging.
Please see the images as they are of the actual record for sale.

* EU buyers please note that from January 1/2021, Britain’s exit from the EU has made international shipping considerably more challenging, made even more so by the lack of clarity in some areas. Delays are occurring and buyers both in the EU and Britain are being surprised by new import duties and fees. Please do your homework before bidding/buying to assess whether you should expect these as per the point below.
