THE PHIL SPECTOR SPECTACULAR Promo Only LP / PHLP 100 Ultra Rare TEST PRESSING

SEE OUR OTHER RARE RECORDS & MEMORABILIA

We're proud to offer a very rare test pressing copy of THE PHIL SPECTOR SPECTACULAR, the 1972 promo only album compiled by Phil Spector himself, collecting his greatest productions. This extremely rare LP was made for Spector's friends, associates and radio programmers and given the catalog number PHLP 100.

Making this copy even rarer is the fact that it's a test pressing with hand typed labels with the Phil Spector Productions label, and three vintage copies of the label copy found with the test pressing. This copy was given to a well known musician when pressed, and we acquired it from his collection.

Copies sent to radio programmers had a letter from Spector, noting "Over the years, I've received requests for many of the original single recordings I produced…Because so many of these recordings are practically impossible to obtain, and because a vast majority of the requests were from people win the field of broadcasting…I've put together these best selling and most requested original recordings on one album for programming purposes only and not for sale or any other distribution at this time." This copy never came with a letter, but a copy is provided.

The album appears barely played--maybe two or three times-- and grades NM- with some pressing marks that don't affect play--it sounds great.
