Rare test pressing of the first and only legitimate reissue of the masterpiece LP from Zerfas, released in 1994 as a 700 West title. Record is perfect, pristine, but for the smallest inherent pressing flaw discoloration, not dimple , which does not affect play at all. It s been played only twice on a high-end Sota table, handled like a loved infant, and carefully stored. Near mint, sounds fantastic. lt ?xml:namespace prefix o ns urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office / gt
This test pressing, hand numbered by the producer of the reissue as 3 of 15 copies, was received directly from the producer, a close friend of mine. This legendary reissue is known for its incredible fidelity, many noting that it even surpasses that of the original LP. This test pressing, first off the stampers, has the best and truest sound of any of the Zerfas pressings ever available. Only fifteen of these were ever pressed, most distributed to band members and folks close to the reissue project. It s pressed under the Aligned Audio generic test press imprint on one label, and the other label is blank.
The generic front cover actually, the cover of the reissue release before the paste-on is personalized in ink from the producer to me, with a brief note in the lower right front corner, and is numbered 3 of 15. I ve obscured the note in the photo to keep names protected, but it reads To xxxx xxxx Enjoy this trippy little soundtrack of my life. Here s to future days. Love, xxxxx . It s also dated 7/3/94. A clean and true provenance for this milestone pressing. I m happy to sign a certificate for the winner to confirm the pressing s history and to identify the parties involved, if the winner would like this added detail tied to the album.
Inserts for the release were not yet available at the time of the test pressing, so none are included here.
Suffice to say there is not a better sounding or cleaner condition LP pressing of the Zerfas album available. This test pressing is in as-new condition, and being one of only fifteen test pressings, is clearly the unsurpassable way to hear this tremendous album. Please feel free to contact me if you would like additional information. Thanks.
