This Test Pressing may be the RAREST vinyl available from this Van Jones. Releases by this talented, soulful, yet obscure artist, go for hundreds of dollars and have continued to rise In value.This pressing is much more more RARE than those records as this is a TEST Pressing, complete with penciled description on generic white label. The artist has recorded in my hometown of Hampton Roads, VA. (Norfolk Sound in Chesapeake, VA., etc.). Is this the only copy of this song by the artist available? Was this Test Pressing ever released? Something else - was the penciled “CBS” at top of label, a hopeful header that that popular label would pick the artist up? Or was it an error - a mis-notation of the “CSB” etched in the dead wax trail off?

Aout the mastering:  Steele started Frankford/Wayne's mastering operations in 1966. First as part of the Philadelphia recording institution Sigma Sound Studios and then later setting up . In 1973 they also set up shop in New York City. - Frankford/Wayne Mastering Labs, Inc. was incorporated on May 13th, 1974. CD and vinyl mastering continues to be an integral part of their business. 
Some of the mastering engineers that have worked at Frankford/Wayne include:  (Sarah Vaughn, etc.), , , , , , , , , , ,  and . 

Vinyl records mastered at Frankford/Wayne in New York, if not printed on the center labels or sleeve, can be recognized by a mastering stamp in the runout groove. The mastering stamp usually takes the form of MASTERING BY FRANKFORD/WAYNE NEW YORK, as on this test pressing, or the initials F/W followed by an apple symbol. Later releases only have F/W, most are often followed by the engineers signature or initials.
