Proofs were generally produced in low numbers by the art studios as they awaited approval for the design from the record company and/or artists and so only a handful would normally exist. In the digital age they disappeared and so have become increasingly rare and sought after. Cromalin were even more rare due to the prohibitive cost and so are very sought after, not least because of the superior quality of print.
