VERY RARE ROBERT JOHNSON TEST PRESSING/ACETATE
12" VINYL LP RECORD
I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS DISC OTHER THAN IT IS MADE OF THICK BLACK VINYL WITH AN ''EMIDISC RECORDING BLANK'' LABEL TO EACH SIDE WHICH ALSO STATES ''MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN'' TO THE TOP OF THE LABEL.
THERE IS ALSO TYPEWRITTEN (in light bluey ink) TO EACH SIDE ''ROBERT JOHNSON'' AND A LIST OF THE SONG TITLES ON EACH SIDE OF THE DISC.
TO THE BOTTOM OF THE LABEL TO EACH SIDE IS PRINTED ''EMI TAPE LIMITED - HAYES - MIDDLESEX - ENGLAND''.
THERE IS A TOTAL OF 16 SONGS (8 PER SIDE) AND THESE CAN BE SEEN ON THE SCANS.
THE VINYL RETAINS LOTS OF BLACK GLOSS WITH HARDLY ANY SCRATCHES, SUGGESTING IT HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED MUCH. THERE IS A RESIDUE OF GLUE AROUND THE LABEL TO EACH SIDE WHICH HAS SLIGHTLY ENCROACHED ONTO THE 'RUN-OFF VINYL' AND LEFT SOME 'MARKS' BUT THIS APPEARS SUPERFICIAL AND IS CONFINED TO THE 'DEAD WAX'/IT HAS NOT REACHED THE TRACKS.
THE DISC PLAYS THROUGH FINE ALTHOUGH ON MY BASIC PLAYER THERE WAS A DEGREE OF 'HISS' BUT THIS IS MOST PROBABLY, I GUESS (?), DUE TO THE QUALITY OF THE DISCS THE INDIVIDUAL TRACKS WERE ACTUALLY RECORDED OFF OF.
THERE ARE NO MATRIX NO'S AND NO STAMPERS TO THE VINYL SO THIS REALLY IS SOMETHING OF A MYSTERY AND I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS DISC WAS ACTUALLY EVER MANUFACTURED!!!
THERE IS NO SLEEVE.
HERE WE ARE THEN, JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS SOMETHING ARGUABLY UNIQUE BE IT AN LP 'TEST PRESSING' OR AN 'ACETATE' WHICH WILL GRACE ANY ROBERT JOHNSON COLLECTION!! GOOD LUCK.
