Slade – Cum On Feel The Hitz: The Best of Slade (2LP Test Pressing) – Ultra-Rare Optimal Media TP
Up for sale is an extremely rare 2LP test pressing of Cum On Feel The Hitz – The Best of Slade, produced at Optimal Media as part of the approval process for the commercial double-LP release.
Test pressings are manufactured in tiny quantities (usually 5–10 copies) and are used strictly for audio QC, sequence checks and approval — they are never commercially released and almost never appear on the open market. This copy comes in its original Optimal factory test pressing sleeves with plain white labels.
A brilliant chance to own a killer Slade compilation in its rarest format.
