ID no. 9007019 Title: My Generation Test Pressing Artist: The Who Product Condition: SS Cover Condition: M Description:  This auction is for a STILL SEALED single LP Test Pressing marked (A/B) of the Classic Records 200gram reissue of The Who's "My Generation" with jacket. This highly collectible test pressing is from the first stamper and less than 20 exist. Test pressings reflect the closest you can get to the lacquers and hence have a special collectible value and store of value. This is one of the seminal albums of the 60's along with the White Album and Let it Bleed. Originally mixed to Mono and a few tunes half heartedly to stereo, this record contains the title track "My Generation" which is as accurate today as it was 40 years ago. Additional tunes include "The Kids Are Alright", "I'm a Man", "It's Not True", and "The Ox" among others. To mount this important reissue, we reassembled the original MONO master takes of each tune onto a master reel and had Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering cut directly from that reel through our all tube MONO cutting system. That's right, this is not mono cut on a stereo head with the resulting crosstalk (read added ambient information) - it is the real deal just like it was cut in 1965 from the Shel Talmy (producer) original (not copies) MONO master tapes. Jacket in mint condition.
