Description

This is a rare find: the Dutch Radar white-labelled test pressing of the 1978 legendary Elvis Costello and the Attractions This Year's Model album. Only a handful of these test pressings were made and even fewer have survived. There's handwritten information on both catalogue number and record company and stamped Proefpersing (Dutch for test pressing). The name of the artist is also written on the sleeve. The album sounds really good with some minor ticks and some crackling noises on the B side, but it doesn't skip. The sleeve looks a bit old and has a very small tear on the left hand side and a tiny hole on the right hand side. Please see pictures of record and sleeve.  I ship worldwide from the Netherlands, so no import taxes within the EU. As I am a collector myself who hates it when my purchases are damaged when they are arrive, I only use new cardboard boxes and extra cardboard to protect the album from bending and the record is shipped in a new plastic sleeve. Registered shipping only, The Netherlands € 13, Europe € 19, Rest of the world € 29. I can combine shipping.
