THIS IS A PRE-RELEASE TEST PRESSING LP WHICH MEANS THAT IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST RECORDS PRESSED FROM THE PLATES TO CHECK THE SOUND QUALITY AND THE CONTENT OF A RECORD BEFORE IT'S RELEASED. SOMETIMES NO MORE THAN 5 OR 6 TEST PRESSINGS ARE MADE OF A RECORD, WHICH ALSO MEANS THAT IT'S ABOUT THE BEST QUALITY RECORDING THAT YOU COULD POSSIBLY GET FROM THE PRESSING . ALSO, IN THE CASE OF THESE PRE-RELEASE TEST PRESSINGS MANY TIMES THERE ARE DIFFERENCES FROM THE EVENTUAL RELEASE SUCH AS SOUND MIXES, LENGTHS OF SONGS AND SOMETIMES SOME SONGS ARE REMOVED AND OTHERS ADDED WHEN THE RECORD FINALLY GETS RELEASED.
SIDE A CONTAINS: SHAKE YOUR MONEY MAKER - YOUNG AND CRAZY - I WONDER - WORKING MAN - SADIE.
SIDE B CONTAINS: HOUND DOG - TAKE MY LIFE - THINGS AIN'T BETTER - WHO'S THIS MAN - I JUST WANT TO MAKE LOVE TO YOU.
BOTH SIDES SOUNDED GREAT WHEN I PLAYED EM' ALL THE WAY THRU ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE. VISUALLY WHEN I PLACED MY PROTRUDING NASAL APPENDAGE ABOVE BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY MOVING EM' 'ROUND 'N 'ROUND UNDER A 100 WATT LIGHT BULB THERES A FEW LIGHT SCUFFS. IF I WERE TO GUESS THIS RECORD WAS PROBABLY ONLY PLAYED 2 OR 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 41 YEARS. RECORD INFORMATION SHEET IS TAPED ON TO ONE OF THE SIDES OF THE GENERIC CARDBOARD JACKET. THE TAPE HAS STARTED TO YELLOW, BUT THE SHEET LOOKS NICE. JACKET HAS SOME YELLOWING AND CORNER BENDS BUT YOU'LL LOVE IT ANYWAY. HEY, NICE TO HAVE THE ORIGINAL AND BETTER THAN NO JACKET AT ALL. THE RECORD COMES IN A HIGH QUALITY TYPE OF COLLECTOR'S INNER SLEEVE. AND DUE TO THE FAT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.
