Description

TEST PRESSINGS, often known as white label pressings, are copies produced from the masters by the pressing plants in tiny quantities of between ten and thirty copies. These test discs are then sent to the artists and record companies for approval before the main manufacturing is commenced.

These discs are very rare and much sought after by collectors as these are the working copies intended for the artists and label executives to check that the vinyl mastering process is true to the master tapes. The discs were not created for retail sale as part of a manufacturing run. They are genuine test pressings used at work in the industry by the artists and record labels.

Get an extraordinary live performance from Talking Heads with this unmissable release. This album comprises the highlights of Talking Heads’ storming concert at the Berklee Performance Center, Boston, on 24 August 1979.

This was undoubtedly one of the wildest and most memorable performances on their breakthrough tour promoting the release of the Fear of Music album. This is the perfect snapshot of Talking Heads at a pivotal point in their career.
