1983 - ATOMIC ROOSTER { VINCENT CRANE WITH DAVID GILMOUR OF PINK FLOD }  HEADLINE NEWS - 12" VINYL RECORD U.S.A. TEST PRESSING MADE BY HUB-SERVALL RECORD MFG. COMPANY FOR JEM / PVC RECORDS IN NEW JERSEY - INCLUDES A 2 PAGE BIO OF THE BAND AND A COPY OF THE JEM RECORDS INFORMATION SHEET - ALSO INCLUDES WHAT I'M SURE IS THE ORIGINAL GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET - HUB-SERVALL - MATRIX NUMBERS - PVC - 8918A/B-STERLING H-1/B - CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS   

TEST PRESSINGS ARE THE FIRST RECORDS THAT ARE MADE FROM THE STAMPERS TO CHECK FOR QUALITY AND EVEN SONG CONTENT. MANY TIMES NO MORE THAN 5 OR 6 ARE MADE AND SOMETIMES THE MUSIC, SONG MIXES OR EVEN THE SONGS ARE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IS ON THE RECORD THAN WHAT EVENTUALLY GETS RELEASED. I HAVEN'T COMPARED THIS TEST PRESSING TO THE REGULAR STOCK COPY SO I DON'T KNOW IF THE MIXES ARE ANY DIFFERENT, ALTHOUGH I THINK THE SONGS ARE THE SAME. BUT EVEN IF THE SONGS ARE THE SAME AS THE NORMAL RELEASE, TEST PRESSINGS ARE ALWAYS THE BEST QUALITY { UNLESS SOMEBODY ABUSES THEM AFTER THEY'RE MADE }, OF THE RECORD BECAUSE OF BEING THE FIRST RECORDS PRESSED FROM THE STAMPERS. THAT'S SPECIALLY TRUE HERE IN THE U.S.A. WHERE IT WASN'T UNCOMMON TO HAVE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF LPS PRESSED USING THE SAME STAMPERS.

SIDE ONE CONTAINS: HOLD YOUR FIRE - HEADLINE NEWS - TAKING A CHANCE - METAL MINDS - LAND OF FREEDOM.

SIDE TWO CONTAINS: MACHINE - DANCE OF DEATH - CARNIVAL - TIME.

BOTH SIDES LOOK AND PLAY GREAT. I PLAYED BOTH SIDES ALL THE WAY THRU PRIOR TO LISTING ON A DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON DL-120 MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE. VISUALLY I DON'T EVEN SEE A SCUFF ON EITHER SIDE. THE GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET HAS SOME YELLOWING AND A SEAM THAT'S STARTED TO BECOME UNGLUED. NO PROBLEM, BESIDES WHO CARES ABOUT GENERIC JACKETS ANYWAY? THE RECORD COMES IN A HIGH QUALITY TYPE OF COLLECTOR'S INNER SLEEVE, BUT WAIT...., THERE'S MORE, BECAUSE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.
