AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS LIVE TWO LP SET THE BAND IS INTRODUCED AS THE 2ND BEST BAND IN THE WORLD. I WONDER WHO THEY THOUGHT THE FIRST WAS OR IF IT WAS JUST SOME JOKE. INCLUDES THE LEGENDARY FEE WAYBILL AND ALL OF THEIR TUBES CLASSIC SONGS INCLUDING "WHITE PUNKS ON DOPE" AND "DON'T TOUCH ME THERE". IN 1979 FRANK ZAPPA RESPONDED ON HIS ZAPPA RECORDS RELEASE WITH L. SHANKAR THE SONG "TOUCH ME THERE". HEY, FRANK JUST WANTED EVERYBODY TO HEAR AN OPPOSING VIEW. .

SIDE THREE CONTAINS: CRIME MEDLEY: SOUND EFFECT SIREN - THEME FROM DRAGNET - THEME FROM PETER GUNN - THEME FROM PERRY MASON - THEME FROM THE UNTOUCHABLES - I WAS A PUNK BEFORE YOU WERE A PUNK - I SAW HER STANDING THERE - DRUM SOLO.

SIDE FOUR CONTAINS: BOY CRAZY - YOU'RE NO FUN - STAND UP AND SHOUT - WHITE PUNKS ON DOPE.

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 ARE DIFFERENT.

THE GATEFOLD RECORD COVER WHICH WAS INCLUDED WITH THESE TEST PRESSINGS HAS THE AFORE-MENTIONED PROMO STICKER ON THE FRONT OF THE ALBUM COVER AND THE WARNING STICKER ON THE BACK HEARINGS IN 1985 AT WHICH BY THE WAY FRANK ZAPPA DID TESTIFY. THERE'S A DRILL HOLE IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE COVER. NO SEAM SPLITS. NO TAPE. JUST SOME LIGHT GENERAL WEAR . THIS ALBUM COVER PROBABLY DIDN'T ORIGINALLY COME WITH THESE TEST PRESSINGS AND WAS ADDED BY SOMEBODY LATER AS MOST TEST PRESSINGS ONLY COME WITH GENERIC WHITE ALBUM COVERS. THE RECORD INFORMATION SHEETS ARE STAPLED TOGETHER IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER. THEY'RE JUST COPIES OF THE MASTER RECORD SHEET THAT THE PRESSING PLANT HAD WHEN THESE WERE PRESSED. NO TEARS. NO WRITING.

BOTH RECORDS PLAY GREAT, GOOD AND LOUD TOO AS THEY WERE RECORDED LIVE, RECORD ONE LOOKS VIRTUALLY PERFECT DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE A PAPER SCUFF ON EITHER SIDE WHEN I MOVED BOTH RECORDS AROUND UNDER A PAIR OF 100 WATT LIGHT BULBS. RECORD TWO HAS ONE WHAT MIGHT BE A SCUFF OR EVEN A SMUDGE ON ONE OF THE SIDES AND THREE LIGHT SCUFFS / SURFACE MARKS ON THE OTHER SIDE. . ABSOLUTELY NO POPS, NO CLICKS, AND OF COURSE NO SKIPS. NOT MUCH NOTICEABLE BACKGROUND NOISE EITHER EVEN ON RECORD TWO. BOTH RECORDS COME WITH THE TUBES PRINTED ARTICLES INNER SLEEVES . HOWEVER, YOU WON'T HAVE TO STORE THESE TEST PRESSINGS IN THOSE PAPER INNER SLEEVES, AS BOTH RECORDS INCLUDE A GREAT QUALITY COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
