BEE GEES "Horizontal" 1968 LP TEST PRESSING RARE

$

56

Released as Atco Records 33-233, Bee Gees - "Horizontal" lp, test pressing.  Recorded in the latter half of 1967 and released in early 1968, this was the BG's second album.  Includes the hits "World" and "Massachusetts".  Great psych-pop album, often quite melancholy.  This ultra-rare test pressing has hand-typed laminated labels with "Atlantic Recording Studios" printed across the top.  If you look closely you can see the words "test pressing" on the labels under the affixed ones.  To think that back in the day it was someone's job to actually hand-type these labels and glue them on by hand!  The vinyl retains most of its original gloss and luster, but also has a lot of light scuffs and hairline scratches, none of which are deep enough to be felt.  I listened to both sides of the album and it plays vg+ with some very light surface noise mostly only noticable between the songs and during quieter passages.  The music is strong and clear with just a few occasional light ticks and pops which are not loud or overly distracting.  I believe this is a stereo copy.  The numbers in the dead wax on side one are C-12727 and on side two are C-12728-B.  This album comes in a plain white cover.  A true rarity!

Insurance:  Domestic insurance is available for this record and will be offered in checkout.  Although insurance is optional, I highly recommend it.  I am not responsible for records damaged or lost by the postal service for which insurance was not purchased. 

Returns:  I have a very liberal return policy.  If you feel a record has been misrepresented, return it for a full refund of the winning bid.  If upon receiving the record back I feel you have a legitimate complaint, I will also refund your postage costs.  I go out of my way to make sure my buyers are satisfied with all aspects of our transactions, as you will find if you read through my feedback comments.
