TEST PRESSINGS ARE THE FIRST RECORDS THAT ARE PRESSED FROM THE PLATES TO CHECK THE QUALITY AND EVEN THE CONTENTS OF RECORDS BEFORE THEY'RE PRESSED. SOMETIMES THE SONG MIX AND EVEN THE SONGS ON TEST PRESSINGS ARE DIFFERENT. I ASSUME THESE ARE THE SAME AS THE RELEASED RECORD ALTHOUGH I HAVEN'T COMPARED THIS RECORD TO THE RELEASED STOCK COPY.
SIDE ONE CONTAINS:SHE'S GOT ME - DREAMS I DREAM OF YOU - GREEN ROCKY ROAD - PREACHER'S DAUGHTERS - LISTEN TO THE MUSIC.
SIDE TWO CONTAINS: SECRET POWER - SUMMER DAYS - DARK EYED LADY OF THE NIGHT - BALLAD OF A SAD CAFE.
RECORD INFORMATION SHEET IS TAPED TO THE GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD COVER. COVER HAS "FELIX PAPPALARDI & CREATION" WRITTEN IN PEN NEAR THE TOP EDGE. INFORMATION SHEET LOOKS NICE, NOT MUCH FADING AT ALL. SOME YELLOWING AND WEAR ON THE GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD COVER. NO SEAM SPLITS. ORIGINALLY THIS TEST PRESSING LP CAME IN A WHITE GENERIC PAPER INNER SLEEVE WHICH I'VE SAVED AND IS INCLUDED AS I'VE ADDED A HIGH QUALITY COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE FOR THE RECORD. SEE PHOTOS.
BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD PLAY GREAT. YES I PLAYED THE ENTIRE SIDES ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE HOOKED UP TO A HEAD AMP. . VERY LITTLE SURFACE NOISE AND THIS TEST PRESSING IS 39 YEARS OLD. SOUNDS LIKE YOU'D EXPECT A TEST PRESSING TO SOUND. VISUALLY A NICE LOOKING RECORD WITH A FEW LIGHT SCUFFS WHEN MOVED UNDER A 100 WATT LIGHT BULB. BOTH LABELS ARE PRINTED. ONE OF THE LABELS HAS "FELIX PAPPALARDI" AND "6/4" FOR THE DATE PRESSED. SEE PHOTOS.THE RECORD COMES WITH A COLLECTORS TYPE OF SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
