Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young 1970 "Deja Vu" Original Test Pressing

Rare vintage original March 2, 1970 Presswell Records test pressing of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's landmark album Deja Vu, prepared for Atlantic Recording Corporation. The white Presswell Records test pressing label is dated “3/2/70,” identifies “Atlantic Recording” as the customer, and bears the handwritten matrix number “ST-A-701829-D,” corresponding to Side One of Deja Vu (Atlantic SD 7200). Side One features “Carry On,” “Teach Your Children,” “Almost Cut My Hair,” “Helpless,” and “Woodstock.” The record is housed in its plain white production sleeve with “CSNY” handwritten prominently across the front. Measuring approximately 12" x 12". In very good condition, with scattered wear commensurate with age and use, including staining, ring wear, and toning to the sleeve. Released in March 1970, Deja Vu was the first album issued by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young as a quartet and remains one of the defining albums of its era. This pre-release Presswell test pressing represents a working production artifact from the manufacture of the original album, with its dated label, Atlantic identification, matrix information, and original annotated sleeve providing unusually strong documentation of its place in the production process.
