Christy Moore Prosperous UK 1-sided White Label Test Pressing LP Trailer 1972 

Test pressings are very limited edition pressings that have simple white centre labels with minimal information. Test pressings are important for a pressing plant, because this is the first time audio material gets transferred to a vinyl format. Vinyl production consists of various stages such as mastering, lacquer or DMM cutting, electroplating, stamper production and finally pressing a record. Various mistakes may occur at different stages and test pressings are crucial in making sure that no errors have been made. 

Some test pressings may become wildly expensive in the second hand market due to their limited quantity. Sound-wise, an approved test pressing should not differ from a regular pressing in any way.  They lack the artwork of the finished product, and are usually housed in a generic inner sleeve, with, typically, the catalogue number handwritten in a corner. 

This is a one-sided (Side A) test pressing of Prosperous by Christy Moore, cat. no. LER 3035, released by Trailer in 1972. The labels are white. It comes in a generic inner sleeve (NB no cover) with ‘3035A’ handwritten on each corner. Played twice for test purposes, in 1972 and 2022, and certified Nr Mint.
