THIS IS A PRE-RELEASE TEST PRESSING LP WHICH MEANS THAT IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST RECORDS PRESSED FROM THESE PLATES TO CHECK THE SOUND QUALITY AND SOMETIMES EVEN 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. IN MANY CASES TEST PRESSINGS CONTAIN DIFFERENT SONG MIXES AND SOMETIMES EVEN DIFFERENT SONGS THAN THE NORMAL RELEASE WHICH IF THEY DECIDE A CHANGE IS REQUIRED GETS PRESSED LATER. DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THE MIXES ARE DIFFERENT AND THE SONG TILES APPEAR TO BE THE SAME AS THE STOCK COPY. ONE THING'S FOR CERTAIN THOUGH THIS TEST PRESSING SOUNDS GREAT.
SIDE A CONTAINS: DO OR DIE - ICARUS - SWEET DREAMS - FANTASY.
SIDE B CONTAINS: BREATH OF FIRE A SPECK WITHIN A SPHERE ALONE IN THE COSMOS - IF YOU PLEASE - MIDNIGHT MEMORIES - SPACE INTERLUDE - OBLIVION - SPACE REPRISE.
THE RECORD INFORMATION SHEET IS TAPED TO ONE OF THE SIDES OF THE GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET. YOU CAN TELL THAT THE INFORMATION SHEET AND JACKET ARE THE 35 YEAR OLD ORIGINALS JUST BY HOW THEY LOOK, THE TAPE IS STARTING TO YELLOW AND THERE'S WEAR AND YELLOWING ON THE JACKET. NO SEAM SPLITS THOUGH AND THERE'S NO TEARS OR ANYTHING WRITTEN ON THE RECORD INFORMATION SHEET,
BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD PLAY GREAT AS YOU'D EXPECT FROM A TEST PRESSING. I PLAYED BOTH SIDES ON A DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE GOING TRU FIRST A HEAD AMP BEFORE THE PRE-AMP - IN ANY CASE THERE'S NO DEEP GROOVE SCRATCHES AT ALL. THE RECORD USED TO COME WITH A WORN PAPER IINER SLEEVE BUT I'VE INCLUDED A HIGH QUALITY COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
