TEST PRESSINGS ARE THE FIRST RECORDS PRESSED FROM THE PLATES TO CHECK THE QUALITY AND CONTENT OF THE ALBUM. SO TEST PRESSINGS ARE ALWAYS THE BEST SOUND QUALITY RECORDINGS THAT YOU CAN EVER FIND OF THAT ALBUM. THEY'RE MADE IN LIMITED QUANTITY, SOMETIMES NO MORE THAN 3 OR 5. IN SOME CASES THE MUSICAL CONTENT AND / OR MIXES ARE DIFFERENT ON TEST PRESSINGS THAN ON THE VERSION THAT'S FINALLY RELEASED. I HAVEN'T COMPARED THIS TEST PRESSING TO THE STOCK COPY, SO I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THE SONG MIXES OR SONGS ARE DIFFERENT.
SIDE ONE CONTAINS: HOLD YOUR FIRE - HEADLINE NEWS - TAKING A CHANCE - METAL MINDS - LAND OF FREEDOM.
SIDE TWO CONTAINS: MACHINE - DANCE OF DEATH - CARNIVAL - TIME.
THE RECORD INFORMATION SHEET IS TAPED TO THE FRONT OF THE GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET. I KEPT THE ORIGINAL PLASTIC LINED HIGH QUALITY TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE AND JUST PUT THE RECORD IN A NEW ONE. SOME YELLOWING AND A TINY SEAM SPLIT ON THE JACKET. SOME YELLOWING ON THE TWO PAGE INFORMATION LETTER TOO. HEY, THEY'RE ALL 32 YEARS OLD NOW.
I PLAYED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE HOOKED UP TO A HEAD AMP AND IT SOUNDS AND LOOKS GREAT. THERE'S A SMALL WARP AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE RECORD THAT CAUSES A NOISE FOR 10 MAYBE 15 SECONDS AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF SIDE ONE, DOESN'T AFFECT SIDE TWO. THE REST OF THE RECORD SOUNDS GREAT, THIS RECORD LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT HAVE EITHER NEVER BEEN PLAYED BEFORE I PLAYED IT OR MAYBE ONCE. I MOVED IT AROUND A WHILE UNDER A 10 WATT LIGHT BULB AND FINALLY FOUND ONE ULTRA LIGHT SCUFF. ANYWAY, IT'S A NICE RECORD AND WOULD BE VIRTUALLY PERFECT IF NOT FOR THE ABOVE MENTION 10 OR 15 SECOND BUMP. THE RECORD COMES IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
