Hi I wondering if anyone could help, just picked up some test pressing white labels, wings over America 6 discs all one sided, And Ringos a blast from the past, two discs one sided, they look in excellent condition just need to be cleaned to remove dust. They look like they are uk pressings. I paid £70 for all 8, how rare are they and what do you think they are worth? https://imgur.com/gallery/g4zlp |

Wow ! Yes these are rare. Test pressings from the 1970s are harder to find than those from the 80s and 90s and UK pressings are the most desirable. I could easily imagine that the Macca disc would sell for a 100 quid each. Maybe even more because these are rare. Recently I've seen several of his 1980s and 1990s 12" test pressings fetch 75-100 quid. |
