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. I HAVEN'T COMPARED THIS TEST PRESSING TO A STOCK COPY WHICH I'VE NEVER HAD, SO I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THE SONGS OR MIXES ARE DIFFERENT,

THE RECORD SOUNDS GREAT AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT A TEST PRESSING TO SOUND. A FEW SECONDS OF NOISE RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FIRST SONG ON SIDE 2 DUE TO A SLIGHT WOBBLE RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE RECORD, BUT IT'S GONE AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND THE REST OF THE ALBUM SOUNDS GREAT. VERY LITTLE SURFACE NOISE. THERE'S A FEW LIGHT SCUFFS ON THE RECORD. NO CLICKS OR SKIPS . NO SPINDLE MARKS ON THE LABELS. THE RECORD INFORMATION SHEET IS TAPED TO THE FRONT OF WHAT I'M SURE IS THE ORIGINAL GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET. SOME INFORMATION WRITTEN ON THE JACKET. CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS. THE RECORD ALSO COMES WITH A COLLECTOR'S PLASTIC LINED INNER SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
