Background on this eBay item -
VERY LAST ONE!!This is a super rare, long out of print, audiophile LP TEST PRESSING title made by the famous CLASSIC RECORDS label. As all audiophiles know, Classic Records, alas, is no more. Their products have already become very difficult to find as retailers sell of their inventory and everything they made is all out of print.
We were lucky enough to store a good number of their TEST PRESSINGS on LP format, which we will be listing in our eBay store, so look for more titles under our "Vinyl Records - LP" section, under the "Classic Records" sub-section!
These test pressings are all FACTORY SEALED and come in generic white record jackets (like the second picture with this listing - we provided the first, original picture so that a collector will understand the LP we are referring to with respect to these test pressings), with a loose fitting plastic outer sleeve, in sealed condition. The information contained on the disc is stamped on the front of the record jacket (see details below).
As inventories keep shrinking and titles disappear, the only direction the pricing on these rarities will go is up, so this is your chance to secure one for your record collection - an investment in music that could better your return on the stock market! Good luck ever seeing a sealed copy again and if you do, it will likely be at a much higher price!!
Test Pressing Manufacturing date: August 15, 1994

Classic Records LP Item - audiophile issue, TEST PRESSING
-
Pressing is in STEREO
-
Compilation recording featuring the music of some fine Russian composers (see below), produced by Richard Mohr and the recording engineer was Lewis Layton.
-
Highly sought after title by audiophiles and music lovers alike - the stereo, original shaded dog is very rare and expensive, especially in near mint shape - in our humble opinion, the Classic Records reissue bests the original in many ways - in many years of collecting we have had a good number of originals. All of them pale in comparison to the reissue, primarily due to condition, noise, dynamics, etc.
-
The Test Pressing stamped information indicates: Aug 15 1994, LSC 2423, B1, 45 - we can't be sure as the item is sealed, but we believe this stamped information to indicate the date of manufacturing of the test pressing, the record catalog number, the side of the record and stamper number, and that the LP is cut at 45rpm for greatest dynamics - if someone in the audiophile community has more information about this configuration, please email us the details and we will provide an update on this listing.
