Released in 1984, I am offering today this original rare UK green label test pressing of this classic album from QUEEN which is titled "THE WORKS". The vinyl is in clean VERY GOOD+ condition and plays through with excellent audio needless to say, no sticks or skips etc. These test pressings play much better than the regular stock copies with much richer audio 


TEST PRESSINGS, AS SOME MIGHT NOT KNOW, WERE MADE TO TRY OUT THE STAMPERS OF RECORDS AT THE PRESSING PLANT PRIOR TO FULL PRODUCTION AND WERE MADE IN VERY SMALL QUANTITY, USUALLY 10 OR MUCH LESS. THESE WOULD THEN BE HANDED TO THE BAND,THEIR AGENT,THE PRODUCER OF THE RECORD ETC TO TEST PLAY THE VINYL DISCS FOR QUALITY CONTROL PURPOSES. OCCASIONALLY THEY WOULD FIND THAT THE MIX OF A PARTICULAR TRACK WAS OUT, OR THE THEY WERE UNHAPPY WITH THE TRACK LISTING, AND THEN NEW PRESSINGS WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE UNTIL EVERYONE WAS SATISFIED WITH THE OUTCOME.


The album comes complete with its original generic white inner sleeve which is in very good condition, Clean with no splits stickers or unwanted writing etc.


I have just played this through for these listing purposes and the album plays well with excellent audio with absolutely no sticks or skips etc.
