PEARLS BEFORE SWINE Balaklava (Rare 1968 US 10-track stereo white label test pressing for the LP release by Tom Rapp & associates, wonderful retail release pasted picture sleeve. Test pressing are produced for early review of the final mastering&most often get destroyed once production commences, so rarely surface for sale. Being a test pressing, the best quality pressing techniques are used, with premium vinyl & virgin stampers. The sleeve is, to be fair, a bit shabby with marked shelfwear & serious edge scuffing, but it's unusual for a test pressing to have a sleeve at all. The vinyl is amazing & although there are a couple of light marks, these are mostly cosmetic & otherwise the vinyl looks as new. A rare test pressing of this classic album at a seriously advantageous price ESP-1075)
