HEY LARRY, DIDJA KNOW THAT THE " TUBES " HAD A KIND OF A RADIO HIT WITH THE SONG " DON'T TOUCH ME THERE " A LITTLE WHILE BEFORE THIS ALBUM WAS RELEASED? WELL HERE WAS FRANK'S ANSWER; " TOUCH ME THERE ". THE SONG " DEAD GIRLS OF LONDON "  WAS ORIGINALLY DONE BY VAN MORRISON, BUT DUE TO SOME KIND OF PROBLEMS WITH VAN MORRISON'S RECORD COMPANY FRANK HAD TO REMOVE VAN MORRISON'S VOCALS AND DID THE VOCALS HIMSELF.

SIDE ONE CONTAINS: DEAD GIRLS OF LONDON - WINDY MORNING - KNEE DEEP IN HEATERS - LITTLE STINKER. 

SIDE TWO CONTAINS: DARLENE - TOUCH ME THERE - NO MORE MR. NICE GIRL - LOVE GONE AWAY.

TEST PRESSINGS ARE THE FIRST RECORDS PRESSED FROM THE PLATES TO CHECK THE QUALITY AND CONTENT OF THE ALBUM. SO TEST PRESSINGS ARE ALWAYS THE BEST SOUND QUALITY RECORDINGS THAT YOU CAN EVER FIND { IF YOU CAN EVER FIND THEM } OF THAT ALBUM. THEY'RE MADE IN LIMITED QUANTITY, SOMETIMES NO MORE THAN 3 OR 5. IN SOME CASES THE MUSICAL CONTENT AND / OR MIXES ARE DIFFERENT ON TEST PRESSINGS THAN ON THE VERSION THAT'S FINALLY RELEASED. THIS IS THE VERSION WHERE FRANK REPLACED THE VOCALS OF VAN MORRISON WITH HIS OWN.

THE RECORD LOOKS AND SOUNDS GREAT. BETTER THAN ANY STOCK COPY AND NO SCRATCHES. A FEW VERY SMALL ULTRA LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS AND ULTRA LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS NEAR THE CENTER HOLE WILL ONLY BE SEEN IF YOU MOVE THE RECORD 'ROUND 'N 'ROUND UNDER A REAL BRIGHT LIGHT OR A PAIR OF 100 WATT LIGHT BULBS LIKE I DO. THE RECORD INFORMATION SHEET IS HELD ON THE WHAT IS PROBABLY THE ORIGINAL GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET BY TWO PIECES OF TAPE. ONE SONG IS CIRCLED AND AN X IS WRITTEN NEXT TO THE TITLES OF 4 SONGS ON THE RECORD INFORMATION SHEET IN PENCIL. THE RECORD NOW INCLUDES A COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF PLASTIC INNER SLEEVE WHICH WILL ELIMINATE ANY FUTURE PAPER SCUFFS AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.
