In case anyone's eyeing this up - it isn't a 1967 test pressing at all - check the matrix number - it's the test pressing of the yellow vinyl facsimile issue of the LP from 2000 - see http://members.aol.com/olandem5/odlpus.html

PS I have emailed the 2 bidders and the seller w/ this info - let's see if he takes it down...

No, but they did amend the auction to state that it was from the repressed edition. Is the yellow vinyl in mono? I have a copy of that. . . but I don't think I ever listened to it.
BTW don't waste your money on the new mono l.p. floating around on ebay, unless you are a completest. I bought it to compare with my old beater of a copy of the original mono press and IMO I wasn't too impressed with the sound. But, again, that's just MY opinion :wink:

Another thing that should tip buyers off is Rainbo didn't move to it's Santa Monica facilities until 1974.
