THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE ALBUM AND EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT A COLLECTOR WHO WANTS POSSIBLY ONE OF A KIND TEST PRESSING YOU SHOULD FIND AND BUY THE CD. STEVE KICKS BUTT!!

THIS IS A PRE-RELEASE TEST PRESSING LP WHICH MEANS THAT IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST RECORDS PRESSED FROM THESE PLATES TO CHECK THE SOUND QUALITY AND SOMETIMES EVEN THE CONTENT OF A RECORD BEFORE IT'S RELEASED. SOMETIMES NO MORE THAN 5 OR 6 TEST PRESSINGS ARE MADE OF A RECORD WHICH ALSO MEANS THAT IT'S ABOUT THE BEST QUALITY RECORDING THAT YOU COULD POSSIBLY GET FROM THAT PRESSING. IN MANY CASES TEST PRESSINGS CONTAIN DIFFERENT SONG MIXES AND SOMETIMES EVEN DIFFERENT SONGS THAN THE NORMAL RELEASE WHICH IF THEY DECIDE A CHANGE IS REQUIRED GETS PRESSED LATER. DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THE MIXES ARE DIFFERENT AND THE SONG TILES APPEAR TO BE THE SAME AS THE STOCK COPY. ONE THING'S FOR CERTAIN THOUGH THIS TEST PRESSING SOUNDS GREAT AND IF NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS MADE THERE CAN'T BE VERY MANY OTHERS.

SIDE A CONTAINS: LIBERTY - EROTIC NIGHTMARES - THE ANIMAL - ANSWERS - THE RIDDLE - BALLERINA 12 / 24 - FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

SIDE B CONTAINS: THE AUDIENCE IS LISTENING - I WOULD LOVE TO - BLUE POWDER - GREASY KID'S STUFF - ALIEN WATER KISS - SISTERS - LOVE SECRETS. 

BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD PLAY GREAT AS YOU'D EXPECT FROM A TEST PRESSING. I PLAYED BOTH SIDES ON A DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE GOING THRU FIRST A HEAD AMP BEFORE THE PRE-AMP . THERE'S A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE OF COURSE AT TE BEGINNING OF THE FIRST SONGS AS PICTURE DISCS WERE NEVER KNOWN TO BE AUDIOPHILE QUALITY PRESSINGS. HOWEVER THIS ONE REALLY SOUNDS GREAT AND THE MUSIC IS SO LOUD THAT EVEN IF THERE WERE ANY SURFACE NOISE IN ANY OF THE SONGS YOU'D NEVER BE ABLE TO HEAR IT. THE GUY WHO SOLD ME THIS TEST PRESSING TOLD ME THAT IT WAS UNPLAYED. I DID PLAY IT ONCE AND I BELEIVE HIM. THERE'S NO SCRATCHES OR PAPER SCUFFS THAT I FOUND WHEN I MOVED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD AROUND UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT. THE RECORD COMES WITH A GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET AND A HIGH QUAITY COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE. BUT WAIT...., THERE'S MORE..., BECAUSE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A BRAND NEW PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.
