OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY - WERE EVER MADE AS 'TEST PRESSINGS', TO TEST THE SOUND QUALITY & MIX OF THE LP PRIOR TO FINAL APPROVAL!!!!  ONLY AFTER THIS 'TEST PRESSING' WAS FINALLY APPROVED - COULD THE 1ST PRESSING RUN BEGIN!!!!  AND UNLIKE LATER 1970s 'WHITE LABEL' TEST PRESSING LPs (WHICH WERE OFTEN SENT OUT TO RADIO STATIONS AS PROMOS) - 1960s DERAM TEST PRESSINGS WERE NEVER SENT OUT FROM THE FACTORY, AND USUALLY DESTROYED STRAIGHT AFTER THE MIX HAD BEEN APPROVED!!!!  INCIDENTALLY - IT IS ALSO A VERY WELL KNOWN FACT, THAT NO DECCA TEST PRESSINGS FROM THIS PERIOD EVER CAME WITH COVERS.  FORTUNATELY IN THIS CASE, THIS ONE ACTUALLY DOES - AND EVEN MORE INTERESTINGLY IT IS 'UNFINISHED'!!!!  IT HAS 'SML' ON THE COVER FRONT, A 'MONO' STICKER ON THE COVER BACK, NO 'PREFIX' BEFORE THE '707' CAT NUMBER ON THE COVER BACK (USUALLY IT HAS 'DML' OR 'SML' HERE INSTEAD!), AND NO MANUFACTURERS CREDIT EITHER!!!!  SO THE COVER IS EQUALLY AS RARE AS THE RECORD!!!!  AND OF COURSE (LIKE MANY OTHER DERAM TEST PRESSINGS FROM THIS PERIOD!) IT COULD EVEN HAVE TRACK TIMING DIFFERENCES COMPARED TO THE RELEASED VERSION - AND EVEN DIFFERENT MIXES AS WELL!!!!  I ONLY WISH I HAD ANOTHER 'STANDARD' COPY TO COMPARE IT WITH!!!!  AND CLEARLY SHOWING THAT THIS 'TEST PRESSING' IS 100% GENIUNE IN EVERY WAY - IT HAS 1/B 1/B MOTHER & STAMPER CODINGS - WHICH WERE THE 'EARLIEST' EVER!!!!  SO MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT - THIS HAS TO BE THE RAREST MOODY BLUES LP EVER TO BE OFFERED FOR SALE (RIGHT AT THE BIRTH OF THEIR 'PSYCHEDELIC' PERIOD!) - AND MUST BE REGARDED AS A TRUE 'ONCE IN A LIFETIME' OPPORTUNITY!!!!
