This is a US vinyl pressing on Reprise 2267 from 1978.     This is a test pressing.    It comes in a plain white cover with a loose 8 X 11 info sheet.

The matrix numbers are : Side one : MSK-1-2267-LW-1 and Side two : MSK-2-2267-LW-1 .

The songs are :  Twilight On The Trail, Love Thy Neighbor, Without A Word Of Warning, That Old Gang Of Mine, The Day You Came Along, It's Magic, If I Had You, Only Forever, I Cried For You, and Once In A While.

Why are test pressing so rare ??      A test pressing is the very first pressing of a record.    It's made so that the artist, producer, engineer, and record company executives can approve the record.    They are pressed in extremely limited numbers ( like 50 to 100 ) and are never repressed.    They are sent out to selected people before the cover and labels have been printed. 

Overall Condition :  Cover : M / Record : M

The cover is Mint.   There are no seam splits and there is no ring wear.    There is writing on the cover.     The info sheet is in nice condition.     The vinyl looks mint and it plays mint.     The labels are blank.  

I will package this record between two pieces of 1/2 inch thick cardboard.    ( It's so thick that you will save it and use again. )    It will weigh 21 ounces ( 1 pound, 5 ounces ) when ready to ship.    You can figure out your own postage costs for US Priority or Media Mail.    It will be sent by First Class Mail International to overseas buyers.   ( Buyers from Italy will assume all risks for shipping to their country)   I will send it as soon as you pay ( same day of before 2 PM and next day if after 2 PM )      I will combine postage if you win more than one record.     This record is from a no smoking and no pets home. 

Serious bidder only.   If you bid you must be prepared to honor your bid.    I expect payment within 3 days, but will gladly wait up to seven days, if you contact me.      I no longer accept bids from buyers that have more than two strikes against them.
