America "Harbor" 1977 Vintage Original Album Test Pressing (Chip Rachlin

Vintage 1977 test pressing of Harbor by America, the band's seventh studio album, housed in a plain white production sleeve bearing a typed "TEST PRESSING BSK 3017" label at the upper right. The sleeve retains its plastic wrapping. Measuring approximately 12" x 12" and in very good condition, with scattered wear commensurate with age and use, including staining and evidence of moisture exposure. Produced in limited quantities for evaluation prior to commercial release, test pressings were working components of the record-production process and were not intended for general retail distribution. A scarce pre-release artifact from one of the defining soft-rock bands of the 1970s. Provenance: From the personal collection of music industry executive Chip Rachlin.

Estimate:£223.19
