highly collectible test pressings are from the first stamper and
approximately less than 20 exist. Test pressings reflect the closest you
can get to the lacquers and hence have a special collectible value and
store of value
Side D Tracks: Sanctus, Agnus Dei (33rpm) // Sanctus (45rpm)
*45 rpm records have long been recognized as providing a
higher fidelity musical experience resulting purely from the cartridge being
able to extract more of the nuance from the complex vertical and horizontal
groove modulations in stereo LP’s. The amount of information and level on both
sides is the same with the only difference being the speed at which the lathe
was traveling during cutting. The difference is that a cartridge can better
track the 45 rpm side compared with the 33 rpm side and the difference is worth
changing the speed on your turntable!
Good Luck!
