Description
This is an incredibly rare piece of Rock & Roll history and an ultimate must have for a true Guns & Roses fan. This is an original Sterling Sound Acetate Test Pressing of the smash hit “Paradise City" by Guns N’ Roses from their breakthrough album Appetite for Destruction. It is dated 9/25/87, the year it was recorded. It was not released as a single until January 1989.
What makes this piece even more interesting is that “Paradise City" was released on Geffen, and was only on Warner Bros. in Japan.
I have not seen another one of these out there. Ever.
I have played this record ONCE. The previous owner believed it to be unplayed. It is in EXCELLENT condition.
Due to the rarity of this record signature confirmation and insurance is absolutely a must. No exceptions. All Sales Final. There are absolutely no returns. No refunds. I am not willing to risk a bait and switch return on a rare item like this.
Please see photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have before bidding. I am more than happy to take additional photos. I was limited to 12 photos for the auction. We’re dealing with a record here, it is not digital. As with any record of this age there may be the slightest of surface noise in quiet spots (intro/fading) - also please note test pressings may be a slightly different version of a song or mix from what was the final release. As with most acetate records, wear may appear on the outer edge of the record. There is the SLIGHTEST bit of wear as shown in photos. You have to really examine it to see it but I am trying to list this as accurate as possible. It looks and sounds PHENOMENAL.
If buyer has a shady history on eBay I reserve the right to cancel the sale
