BAUHAUS Burning From The Inside (Rare 1983 UK 10-track WHITE picture disc test pressing vinyl LP album with black rim for the limited release of the picture disc album. White test pressings are not pressed on white vinyl, but in fact, the picturesheets set inside the clear vinyl which make up the finished disc are inverted thus showing their white reverse. This pressing was then used for quality control purposes and hence, would be one of only a handful manufactured.
