TEST PRESSINGS
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.
THE CLASH - BORED WITH THE US FESTIVAL
The Clash reached new heights of success with the release of the fifth Clash album, Combat Rock. Combat Rock spawned the US top 10 hit Rock the Casbah and this powerful single helped the album to achieve a double Platinum certification. This was the album which saw The Clash achieve success all over the world.
Bored With The US Festival is the legendary broadcast from The US Festival, San Bernadino broadcast live to air on 28th May 1983 which celebrates the Combat Rock album which features Pete Howard on drums.
The US broadcast was to prove the swansong for Mick Jones. This was Jones last concert broadcast with the group. Continuing internal friction led to increased tensions and in September 1983, Mick Jones was fired.
