JOHN LEE HOOKER UK TEST PRESSING PRINTING SLEEVE 'THE CREAM' LIVE ALBUM IN 1978

HERE IS A SUPERB ITEM OF MEMORABILIA AND A VERY INTERESTING ALTERNATIVE TO A POSTER!!! THIS IS AN UNUSED OFFICIAL 'SLICK’ FOR THE RELEASE OF THE ALBUM “THE CREAM” BY THE LATE GREAT ‘JOHN LEE HOOKER’ IN 1978. I BELIEVE THIS PARTICULAR PRESSING WAS NEVER USED AND AN ALTERNATIVE IMAGE AND DESIGN WAS USED INSTEAD??? A ‘SLICK’ IS WHERE THE RECORD COMPANY PRESS UP A SLEEVE FOR AN ALBUM OR A SINGLE TO TEST TO SEE IF IT HAS TURNED OUT OK. AND THE PRINTING PROCESS WAS GOOD…...VERY MUCH IN THE SAME WAY THAT THEY PRODUCE A TEST PRESSING FOR A RECORD!!! THEY ARE ONLY PRINTED UP IN VERY SMALL QUANTITIES ON THICK CARD STOCK….OFTEN ONLY ONE IS PRODUCED….SO IT MAKES THEM VERY RARE AND DESIRABLE FOR SURE!!!! THIS ONE IS IN A VG+/EX CONDITION…..IT HAS SOME STAINING TO THE TOP EDGE AROUND THE BORDER…..BUT IT IS WELL AWAY FROM THE ACTUAL PRINTED IMAGE….SO IT COULD EASILY BE CUT DOWN IS YOU DESIRED!!!! IT MEASURES 29 INCHES 74 CM WIDE AND 20 INCHES 51 CM HIGH….AND THIS IS A MUST FOR MOUNTING AND FRAMING….WHICH WOULD HELP CONCEAL THE STAIN MARK ON THE TOP EDGE…..IF YOU DECIDED TO KEEP IT THERE…...AND THERE'S MORE THAN ENOUGH ROOM FOR THIS TO BE DONE VERY VERY EFFECTIVELY!!! SO THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR ANYONE WHO FOLLOWS THIS LATE GENIUS IN ANYWAY AT ALL….HAVE A GOOD THINK ABOUT OWNING IT….IT’S DOUBTFUL IF YOU’LL EVER SEE ANOTHER ONE OFFERED FOR SALE….IN ANY CONDITION!!!!
