Description
This is a near mint condition, very rare, white label LP test pressing Genesis "Abacab". It was manufactured by Specialty Records for Atlantic Records U.S. in 1981. Test pressings were made in advance of regular pressings for quality control purposes. They were very selectively distributed to record label V.I.P.s and the artist and their management for approval. Very few were produced and most copies were destroyed. They were never made available to the general public. The labels are white with information hand written in red ink. The record comes in a white cardboard jacket. Taped on the front of the jacket is the original invoice from Specialty Records to Atlantic Records in New York. Written in red pen on the top right hand corner of the jacket is the record number, matrix numbers and the band's name. It has had one owner, a former record company executive who has had it filed away since 1981.
