    I have decided to let the last of the three remaining test pressings of "man and the echo" go! This disc is additionally unique as it is on BLACK vinyl. It has NEVER been played. [Note: the record pictured in the photo is obviously not the one you're getting]

    Please note that your purchase is only for the vinyl, in a white archival innersleeve, inside a 300gsm brown cardboard outer sleeve [No artwork or anything like that] At some point in the past I wrote "'man and the echo' test pressing" in tiny ink writing in the bottom right hand corner. I'll even sign the test pressing if you like - it currently only has 'SIDE A' printed on the relevant side by the original manufacturer.

about

From "The Black Death and The Dancing Mania”
by Justus Friedrich Karl Hecker 1832
[Chapter 3 - The Dancing Mania in Abysinnia, Section 1 - Tigtretier]

"This gives so much the more importance to a disease but cursorily alluded to in the foregoing pages, which exists in Abyssinia, and which nearly resembles the original mania of the St. John’s dancers, inasmuch as it exhibits a perfectly similar ecstasy, with the same violent effect on the nerves of motion. It occurs most frequently in the Tigre country, being thence call Tigretier, and is probably the same malady which is called in Ethiopian language Astaragaza.”
