LOU REED Orig '73 BERLIN RCA US Test Pressing LP MINT
SEE OUR OTHER RARE RECORDS AND MUSIC COLLECTIBLES
Here's a very rare original 1973 test pressing of Lou Reed's classic album BERLIN, named by Rolling Stone as one of the top 500 albums of all time. This is the US original pressing (RCA 0207) and appears to have been played no more than once or twice (no spindle marks.) We compared this to a commercial copy, and it appears to have the same matrix, indicating it isn't any different from the released version. Still, this is the first test pressing of Berlin we've ever seen.CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR "ME" PAGE FOR MORE ABOUT OUR HIGH-END RARE RECORDS AND ONE-OF-A-KIND MUSIC COLLECTIBLES.
We have been buying and selling music collectibles for nearly 40 years via our website, Ebay, and mail-order.
RECORDMECCA'S Jeff Gold was named by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the 5 "Top Collectors of high-end music memorabilia" (there is a link to this article on our "ME" page.)

Please check our feedback; you'll see that we are dedicated to providing superior customer service and follow through. We guarantee everything we offer to be authentic with no time limit.
We welcome International buyers and ship around the world every week.
US & Canada Shipping: $9 for 1-2 LP's by insured Priority Mail (Ebay’s recent rule change requires us to offer Media Mail shipping for records, at $4.00 for 1 LP. As this is a very slow method of shipping and uninsured, we cannot guarantee safe delivery by this method and strongly recommend paying extra for the much quicker and safer Priority Mail.) $15 for 1-2 posters, shipped priority mail in a new mailer/tube & US orders are automatically insured for up to $200 in value. Calif. buyers add 8.25% sales tax (calculated automatically by Paypal.) All other items shipped at cost.
International Shipping: $16 for 1 LP airmail without insurance. $4 for each additional LP; $21 for 1-2 posters. All other items shipped at cost. Because of problems with the Italian Post Office, we highly recommend either insured or registered mail for all Italian orders and cannot be responsible for any order shipped to Italy without one or the other of these.
