JON LORD SARABANDE RARE DEEP PURPLE UK PROG TEST PRESS UNCUT * MINT * 1975

SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE PHOTOS AT THE FOOT OF THIS PAGE

This record came from the same collection of demo and test press records I have been selling recently. You can see the feedback for those sales starting to come through in my feedback rating. 

This one is in beautiful condition; an unplayed white label test press of Jon Lord's Sarabande LP from 1975. Jon Lord is perhaps best known as co-founder and constant member of Deep Purple from 1968 amongst other groups (The Artwoods, Flower Pot Men etc ..) 

The sleeve design here is the raw uncut sleeve as opposed to the common issue wirth its cut out. The seams are open, as is the loose inner, which is also mint. See below for photos. The sleeve has no tears, splits, stickers, smudges or nasty marks, only some very light foxing (browning spots from oxidation of the card over the past years) and some minor, so minor in fact that you might wonder what I am talking about by looking at the photos. One corner is slightly rippled (clearly pictured below). The inner is perfect.

SLEEVE/INNER:  EX+ with an perfect NM inner.

DISC/S: MINT perfectly glossy unmarked, no spindle marks no gloss scuffs - so signs of ever being played, so I can only grade it as MINT

MATRIX and DEADWAX MARKING:   TPSA 7516 A-1       1       G     NICK W  (All machine stamped except 'NICK W' which is hand-etched).

The record, inner and sleeve will all be sent in fresh polyliners in a cruciform mails with FRAGILE tape and a solid brick of stiffeners.
