Historically Speaking - The Duke - 2 x 1-Sided Test Pressing

DUKE ELLINGTON & HIS ORCHESTRA Historically Speaking - The Duke (Impossibly Rare Pair of Single-Sided Test Pressings for the 1956 UK 12-track mono LP, recorded in Chicago, Illinois that year & starring such notables as Paul Gonsalves &Cat Anderson. The custom studio labels have 'Factory Sample - Not For Sale' print along the top along with the matrix, catalogue, artist & title detail stamped on the labels' playing side of both discs. The tracklist is also annotated by hand& the matrices in the run-outs are machine stamped: 'ABL-380-1B/ ABL-381-1B'. These are heavyweight non-bendable 200gram discs. This rarity originates from the private collection of a former staff member for Dobells record shop in Charing Cross, untouched for over half a century. Only a small handful of these were pressed to test the sonics & there can be few surviving copies left. Complete with the 'Emitex' inner bag, which is annotated with all the matrix & recordings details, the two vinyl discs are Excellent to Near Mint with little evidence of play LTZ-N15029)
