Why are test pressing so rare ?? A test pressing is the very first pressing of a record. It's made so that the artist, producer, engineer, and record company executives can approve the record. They are pressed in extremely limited numbers ( like 50 to 100 ) and are never repressed. They are sent out to selected people before the cover and labels have been printed.
Overall Condition : Record : NM- (played just a few times, some clicks on trk 1 of B side)

“M” Mint - a near perfect, or unplayed record.
“NM” Near Mint - in factory fresh condition, like new.
EX+ - close to like new with only superficial signs of use that don't affect play. Will satisfy all but the most vain and demanding collector.
EX - a used, reasonable copy. Shows slight signs of wear.
VG+ - There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility a few
and/or light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still quite nice.
VG - significant wear and marks and usually quite noticeable surface noise,still plays great.
