SPACEMEN 3 / Transparent Radiation / 12" EP / Glass Records / GLAEP 108 / Made In England / 1987

Even the commercially released version of this record is UBER RARE, so one can quickly realize how unbelievably rare this ADVANCE TEST PRESSING is. No copies of the commercial version are are available on eBay or at Discogs http://www.discogs.com/Spacemen-3-Transparent-Radiation/release/531512 and this was the only copy I could locate currently for sale ($296.73) http://www.musicstack.com/item.cgi?item=756868. I could find only two that were sold in the past year or two ($105.00) http://www.popsike.com/SPACEMEN-3-TRANSPARENT-RADIATION-12-EP-VINYL/160222057508.html and GBP 54 for a scratched copy http://www.popsike.com/Spacemen-3-Transparent-Radiation-12/300203456358.html. A Google seach for a test pressing of this release resulted in 0 results

The test pressing was made by MayKing Records Ltd on "16 Juin 1987". This date stamp appears on Side A along with the handwritten catalogue number and 33 1/3. Side B just lists 33 1/3. The vinyl is MINT, unplayed, and has only been touched [carefully] when inspecting it for this listing.

Also extremely rare, the sleeve is an advance, 'gatefold flat' of the finished sleeve [uncollated, unglued]. The sleeve is VG+ / Mint Minus. It has a crease, app 2", on the front near the top and similar but much less noticable crease on the back. It has been housed in a sturdy plastic pouch since it was manufactured.
