[339] Dean Wareham - Dean Wareham (test/promo LP)
This is a test pressing of Dean’s eponymous album released in 2014 and was sent to me by Nat at Sonic Cathedral, slipped in with the copy of the Lorelle Meets The Obsolete LP “Chambers” that I had ordered.

The LP came in a plain white inner sleeve stamped with the manufacturer details and with the catalogue number written on it in biro. It had plain white labels with the words “Only for Promotion” stamped onto it… which suggests it’s a promo rather than a test pressing?
There are a lot of nice performance clips of Dean and his band from this time doing the promo rounds.
As much as I love Dean’s more recent albums this is the one that I go back to most.
