German test run of the picture disc that is not cut in the special format. The circulation of the picture discs is already limited, they were supplied with the book “The Book of Shapes - Art in Records - The History of Shaped Records” by Peter Bastine, 1987, private publishing”. In addition, picture discs were supplied without being in a special form, the edition of which was unknown. So this is a test pressing. Unfortunately it is unknown which of the 3 versions this was intended for, I also do not know if there was a difference (all 3 versions date from 1987). Format is like a regular LP. Much of the vinyl is blank - no grooves. Only the last part, close to the white label, has the record grooves. The catalog number in the grooves is partly under the label on one side and cannot be photographed properly. While the normal editions are difficult to find, test pressings are very difficult to obtain. There is a cuff on one side of the record, which can be seen in the photo. Does not affect play, it is on the blank vinyl.
