Description

Here's a very rare artifact: a worn, but surprisingly well playing original 1968 test pressing of the second Pearls Before Swine LP (ESP-Disk 1075). The vinyl has a lot of light scuffs and scratches and some crackle and pop on playback. Visually, it rates about a "VG-" but plays significantly better than you'd expect. The matrix etchings in the runouts read: ESP-S-1075-A and ESP-S-1075-B. The audio linked below comes directly from this copy and is representative of the sound quality throughout:
