📀 Description
For sale is an extremely rare MPO Test Pressing of the Uriah Heep Demons & Wizards reissue.
Produced in very small quantities (typically 5–10 copies) solely for internal approval, these test pressings were never commercially released and are highly sought-after by Uriah Heep collectors.
The disc features the standard MPO blank white test pressing labels, with the run-outs carrying the catalogue/matrix information for this reissue. Included is the original MPO Test Pressing quality-control sheet, which rarely survives with the record.
A superb piece of Uriah Heep archive vinyl.
