I purchased this album new and have listened to it once. No joke, this might be the best sounding album I've ever heard (although it's only the 2nd test pressing so maybe I've set a low bar but within the past week I heard the MFSL cut of this album (forth time) and this has more punch. It sounds so good there are no words.) and legend has it that each Classic Records Test Pressing consists of a run between 20-40 units.  Please note each side has a white 'haze mark' (You can see them in the pictures, I don't even know what to call these things) along with light surface marks (again, I have no idea what these are because the vinyl was in a rice sleeve but I'm imagining it's related to the fact that this is a test press) within the vinyl that in no way impacted the sound. The last picture of the album shows the album still within the factory shrink (opening is on the left side and I have since put the jacket in a plastic protective sleeve. Factory sleeve is white and generic with the catalog number (and a small piece of blue ink (it's tiny and it was there under the shrink) along with some what I believe to be sticker residue (a couple of little spots) along the very bottom of the sleeve. I weighed the album and confirmed it was in fact 200g.  Vinyl was in a rice sleeve which has been retained and upon opening the vinyl was placed into a Mofi sleeve.  The album will be shipped between cardboard, with the vinyl outside of the jacket, in a Whiplash  mailer.  If you have any questions please let me know and thanks for looking!
