THE SONG " KYRIE ELEISON " WAS FEATURED IN THE FILM " EASY RIDER ".
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 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 THE STOCK COPY, SO I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THE SONG MIXES OR SONGS ARE DIFFERENT.
SIDE ONE CONTAINS: KYRIE ELEISON - GLORIA - CREDO.
SIDE TWO CONTAINS: SANCTUS - BENEDICTUS - AGNUS DEI.
THE HEAVY CARDBOARD GENERIC WHITE JACKET IS PROBABLY THE ORIGINAL AND HAS " ELECTRIC PRUNES 6275 " AND " THE MASS IN F MINOR ELECTRIC PRUNES " WRITTEN ON THE FRONT. SOME YELLOWING SPOTS AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE A 45 YEAR OLD GENERIC CARDBOARD JACKET TO HAVE. NO SEAM SPLITS. WHO CARES? THE HANDWRITTEN INFORMATION PIECE OF PAPER ISN'T 45 YEARS OLD AND WAS NEVER INCLUDED WITH THE ORIGINAL TEST PRESSING. HOWEVER THERE'S A WHITE PAPER INNER SLEEVE THAT I'M SURE IS ORIGINAL AND I'VE LEFT IT INSIDE OF THE JACKET EVEN THOUGH I'VE PUT THE RECORD INTO A HIGH QUALITY COLLECTOR'S INNER SLEEVE TO PROTECT IT FOR THE NEXT 45 YEARS.
HEAVY VINYL TEST PRESSING LP. I PLAYED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE HOOKED UP TO A HEAD AMP AND IT SOUNDED NICE WITH A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE AS MIGHT BE EXPECTED BUT NOTHING MAJOR. NO CLICKS. NO POPS. NO SKIPS. AN ENJOYABLE ORIGINAL TEST PRESSING LP. WHEN I MOVED THE RECORD AROUND UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT THERE'S A FEW HAIR LINE SCUFF MARKS ON THE RECORD SURFACES. THE RECORD LOOKS GREAT NICE AND SHINY. ELECTRIC PRUNES AND ELECTRIC PRUNES MASS IN F MINOR IS WRITTEN ON THE PRINTED COLUMBIA RECORDS LABELS. THE ORIGINAL WHITE GENERIC PAPER INNER SLEEVE WHICH I SAVED HAS A LOT OF YELLOWING AND WRINKLES IS INCLUDED. BUT I SAVED IT ANYWAY AND PUT THE RECORD IN A HIGH QUALITY TYPE OF COLLECTOR'S INNER SLEEVE, AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE THAT FITS OVER THE JACKET IS ALSO NOW INCLUDED.
