TEST PRESSINGS ARE THE FIRST RECORDS THAT ARE PRESSED FROM THE PLATES BEFORE THE FINAL ALBUM RELEASE TO CHECK THE QUALITY AND EVEN CONTENT. SOMETIMES TEST PRESSINGS CONTAIN DIFFERENT MIXES OF SONGS, LENGHTS OF SONGS AND SOMETIMES OTHER SONGS ARE ADDED AND SOME REMOVED. THIS TEST PRESSING I KNOW CONTAINS THE SAME SONG TITLES AS THE REGULAR RELEASE BUT AS FAR AS LENGHTS OF SONGS OR SONG MIXES I HAVEN'T COMPARED IT TO THE REGULAR STOCK RELEASE.

THE ALBUM COVER INCLUDED WITH THIS TEST PRESSING WAS NEVER ORIGINALLY INCLUDED WITH IT. IT WAS JUST A GENERIC WHITE JACKET WITH NOTHING PRINTED ON IT. IF YOU'D RATHER GET ONE OF THOSE INSTEAD OF THIS STOCK ALBUM COVER SIMPLY LET ME KNOW AND I'LL SUBSTITUTE IT FOR THIS ALBUM COVER. I THINK IT'S PRETTY COOL TO HAVE THE REGUKLAR ALBUM COVER WITH TEST PRESSINGS BUT THAT'S JUST ME. IN ANY CASE THE A\COVER HAS SOME RING WEAR AND EDGE WEAR. NO SEAM SPLITS. THERE'S A STICKER ON THE BACK OF THE COVER NEAR THE RIGHT BOTTOM EDGE WITH AN "E" CODE ON IT. I'M SURE IT WAS SOME PRICE CODE FOR THE ALBUM AT SOME USED RECORD STORE AND DID HEAR LIGHT SURFACE NOISE. BUT VISUALLY WHEN I MOVED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD AROUND UNDER A PAIR OF 100 WATT LIGHT BULBS THE RECORD LOOKED PRETTY CLEAN. A FEW SMALL LIGHT SURFACE MARKS / SCUFFS. I THINK AT SOME POINT THIS RECORD WAS CLEANED BY ONE OF THOSE FANCY RECORD CLEANING MACHINES. I DON'T OWN ONE. BUT THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO POPS, NO CLICKS, NO SKIPS JUST SOME LIGHT SURFACE NOISE WHICH BY LOOKING AT THE SURFACES OF THE RECORD MUST BE STATIC. I DON'T OWN ONE OF THOSE ANTI-STATIC BRUSHES OR WHAT EVER ELSE THEY USE AND I DON'T USE A STATIC GUARD MAT ON MY TRUNTABLE. I BET IF SOMEBODY WHO OWNED ONE OF THOSE ANTI-STATIC DEVICES THAT COULD REMOVE STATIC FROM RECORDS THIS RECORD WOULD PLAY PERFECT. YOU COULD TELL JUST BY LOOKING AT THE RECORD SURFACES. THE RECORD COMES WITH A NICE QUALITY PLASTIC INNER SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
