💡 Why This Is Special

Test pressings are the first discs ever manufactured before commercial approval.

They are:

• produced in very small quantities (often <10)

• used only by engineers & producers

• rarely leave the label

• highly valued by Hendrix collectors & archivists

This 1982 test pressing is tied directly to Alan Douglas–era production and predates all commercial releases.
