Item Description

Part of an extensive collection of high quality lightly or UNPLAYED demonstration copies, test presses and rarities.
Many copies may never have been seen before and most likely will never be seen again All listings will run to the end, no offers please, postage cost will reflect the value of the item but will be as low as I can make it and will include insurance.
All singles and albums will be cleaned on the latest Okki Nokki machine.
Superb NM copy of this very rare Pink Floyd test press LP.
This is an incredibly important LP - this is one of the first copies of this iconic album ever to be pressed in any form.
The matrix numbers are stamped SHVL 814 A1 and SHVL 814 B1.
The side two matrix was never commercially released as B1 - indeed the earliest matrix number released was B3 with only the A side carrying the A1 stamp.
Both sides have the 1 mothers and G stampers at 9 and 3 o clock respectively.
Comes in plain white sleeve.
These are very rare copies and to date, I believe, according to the most comprehensive Pink Floyd website available, PINKFLOYDARCHIVES the known test presses were issued on 2 discs with the B sides consisting of only a test tone.
I would imagine very few exist especially in this Stunning condition.
Has been in storage for 40 years GRADING VINYL - NM - Pretty much unmarked, stunning like new sheen.
Probably 1 or 2 plays only Including mine LABELS - NM - Clean white labels are unmarked bar 1 spindle mark, no other signs of use.
AUDIO - NM - no clicks or any other issues - stunning ultimate first pressed ever audio Absolutely pristine and incredibly rare copy.
A note on Posatge All costs are based on expected value for postal insurance cover - if the item sells for less than expected then postage will be adjusted accordingly either by new invoice or refund after payment.
POSTAGE WILL ALWAYS BE CHARGED AT MINIMUM POSSIBLE BUT WILL ALWAYS BE HIGH ENOUGH TO COVER THE FULL VALUE OF THE ITEM.
WHERE SIGNED FOR IS STATED THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL AND IS FOR SECURITY PURPOSES.
Please contact post sale if there any issues.
Thanks
