Description

This is a copy of the U2 'October' vinyl LP test pressing on Island Records #9680, released in 1981. For those not familiar with what test pressings are, they are the first copies of records pressed prior to mass production to check quality and for sound approval. These are made in very limited quantities, usually 20 or less would be a good guess. They are very rare and collectible. It comes with Allied Record Company labels (the pressing plant) with handwritten info on the label (in this case U2 written lightly in pencil on one side). The record is a strong VG+ with one visible scuff and comes with in a generic sleeve. The songs are: Gloria, I Fall Down, I Threw A Brick Through A Window, Rejoice, Fire, Tomorrow, October, With A Shout, Stranger In A Strange Land, Scarlet, and Is That All.
