Description

This one is extremely rare and a great thing to own if you collect or likeThe Ala Parsons Project (or Colin Blunstone or John Miles who sing guest vocals on this record). On sale is the Dutch Arista test pressing of The Alan Parsons Project 1978 Pyramid album. Only a handful of these were made and fewer have survived. This comes from a collection of one of the children of an EMI producer, working at and for the record company in Haarlem in the Netherlands, who has kept it stored for over 40 years and has hardly played it. The sleeve has The Alan Parsons Project and Arista 058N - 60792 handwritten on the sleeve. The Dutch EMI employee has written the tracklist of the album on this sleeve too. It also has Proefpersing (Dutch for Testpressing) stamped on it. The record has a white Proefpersing label on the A side and a white label on the B side. The sheet with details on the album (cue sheet) is missing. The record sounds really good, and looks really good, with hardly any ticks. The sleeve itself is in very good condition. It looks used, but that could be expected after nearly 45 years. If you need more pictures, just ask. 
Registered shipping only! Shipping and handling is: Nederland €12, EU €19, Rest of the world €29.  I am a collector of vinyl myself and hate it when an album arrives damaged or warped, so I use new cardboard boxes. I can combine shipping, just add another euro for each additional lp.
