PINK FLOYD – WHY SO TERRIBLY LOUD?: TEST PRESSING 
THE LEGENDARY LIVE TO AIR BROADCAST 1967
Side 1 is the powerful record of the infamous night when Pink Floyd performed material from ‘The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn’ and were subsequently challenged to justify their work by a contemptuous Hans Keller. 
Side 2 is the compelling primary source account by the four members of Pink Floyd which reveals what it was like to work with Syd Barrett and how he helped shape the birth of Pink Floyd. 
The first hand memories of life with Syd from Roger Waters, Nick Mason, Rick Wright and David Gilmour are complemented by the personal recollections of Joe Boyd, producer of Arnold Layne the first Pink Floyd single, and Norman ‘Hurricane’ Smith’ who produced the first Pink Floyd album.

TEST PRESSINGS, often known as white label pressings, are copies produced from the masters by the pressing plants in tiny quantities of between ten and thirty copies. These test discs are then sent to the artists and record companies for approval before the main manufacturing is commenced. 
These discs are very rare and much sought after by collectors as these are the working copies intended for the artists and label executives to check that the vinyl mastering process is true to the master tapes. The discs were not created for retail sale as part of a manufacturing run. They are genuine test pressings used at work in the industry by the artists and record labels.
