That ALS test pressing sure made it’s way around the block! It sold in 2016 for $300, then the seller thesoundofblue was offering it for $20K before JRC sold it for $5k.

…. and so do I.

Fred had a great auction with some amazing treasures in it and not a sound from our friend Al 🙁

There was even the Coltrane (maybe signed but Fred claimed not) test pressing of ‘A Love Supreme’ that we didn’t get into a debate over. Huh?

Sorry. I confused my colors. Should have been careful with research instead of relying on my memory, which is getting more faulty as it gets older.

Woody/Al. No yellow versions of 7020 exist. The misprinted 7020, for 7029, was orange/grey. After this was corrected into 7029, the kakubuchi unlaminated cover was still orange/grey, only to become later yellow blackish laminated with spine text.
The laminated green version of 7020 has a spine text.

I can see the scratches on “Detour Ahead” in the LP photo of the Evans auction. Ouch.

@gregory the fish. Well said, by reading the description and the not smart euphemisms, you understand it is most likely a trash. Needless to look at those rounded corners.
