True Faith 7' testpress

Just won this on ebay.....

Seems too good to be true, are there fakes going around or something?

That's likely a legitimate white label if it has the FAC number etched in the matrix, but not a "test pressing" of it. A Factory test pressing from that era would likely have a Mayking center label.

The way it used to work with Mayking is that the first 5 would have the Mayking labels and any ordered beyond that would just be plain white. So for every different cut you would get 5 with the labels and an unspecified number (depending what they asked for) with white labels.

I think Factory would probably order a box or two (with 25 each in) for most pressings.

Also, for what it's worth, Mayking was just a broker and the pressings were actually done at MPO in France at the time.

Great info guys thanks.

So there's maybe only 50 or so of these white labels in existence?

Will check the matrix when I get hold of it.

Still seems like a bargain :)

There was a fac183/7 white label test press oo7.

Although,there has been a seller on Ebay bootlegging factory wlt presses.

Check the run out an report back.
