Mötley Crüe - 500,000 Screaming Devils (12-Inch Vinyl Test Pressing)

Mötley Crüe - 500,000 Screaming Devils (12-Inch Vinyl Test Pressing)

'Test pressings', often known as white label pressings, are copies produced from the masters by the pressing plants in tiny quantities of between ten and thirty copies. These test discs are then sent to the artists and record companies for approval before the main manufacturing is commenced.

These discs are very rare and much sought after by collectors as these are the working copies intended for the artists and label executives to check that the vinyl mastering process is true to the master tapes. The discs were not created for retail sale as part of a manufacturing run – they are genuine test pressings used at work in the industry.

ONLY 10 COPIES AVAILABLE. 

Formed in Los Angeles in 1981 by bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee, and soon joined by vocalist Vince Neil and guitarist Mick Mars, Mötley Crüe quickly became one of the most notorious and influential bands of the Sunset Strip scene. Their 1981 debut album, Too Fast for Love, built a loyal following, but it was 1983's breakthrough release, Shout at the Devil, that launched them into the rock and metal mainstream.

This broadcast from Heavy Metal Sunday at the legendary 1983 US Festival captures the band exploding on to the world stage. This performance, on 29 May, captures the band at a pivotal moment - young, ambitious, and riding the momentum that would soon make them one of the biggest rock acts of the 1980s.
