Description
JONI MITCHELL Blue (Test Press, 180g 45 RPM) (NM/NM) 2 Record Set Vinyl LPs
Record label/brand: Reprise/Classic Records MS-2038 upc/mpn: None year: 2006
2 LP Test Pressings marked A/B, C/D of a planned, but never released Classic Records 2 disc, 180 gram 45 RPM issue of Joni Mitchell's "Blue". These highly collectible test pressings are from the first stamper and less than 20 exist. Test pressings reflect the closest you can get to the lacquers and hence have a special collectible value.
Sleeve is in NM (near mint) condition. Records are in two generic white sleeves with the date and catalogue number stamped on the upper right corner. Tests were pressed at RTI.
Vinyl is in NM condition. Looks as they've never been played.
Review of the Rhino 180 gram version: "…As remastered from the original master tapes by maestro Steve Hoffman, Blue has weathered well the ravages of time and storage…the 180-gram reissue features quieter surfaces that dramatically enliven low-level resolution, increase dynamic range, and permit the contributions of 'sidemen' like Stephen Stills and James Taylor to shine…Most significantly, there's a near elimination of the gritty texture that sometimes dogged Joni's vocal peaks."
