Description

This is a very rare opportunity to own a true test pressing previously owned by a former executive at Chrysalis.
This is not a DJ or Radio copy, this is a genuine test pressing of the album before it was pressed for distribution.
Comes with original check/track sheet!! VERY RARE I never see these!
This copy was owned by a former A&R Guy for Chrysalis (name can be provided to buyer) from the late 70s through the early 80s when this record was produced.
For those unaware, test pressings are very limited pressings that are cut before a record goes to market.  The engineers, producers, band, etc. are all given a copy to check the quality of the album and make any necessary changes. Like a FINAL DRAFT of an album. As such they sometimes have variances from released album, though this one does not.  They often have no artwork and sport plain white labels and jackets.
This is a very cool piece for any collector of vinyl, 80's pop, or Blondie fan. You may own a copy of The Hunter, but I bet you've never seen a test pressing before.
