*TEST PRESSINGS invariably have the finest possible sound quality.

There are 2 reasons for this.

A.  The highest quality virgin vinyl is always used when producing test pressings. [ see more below]

B.  Test pressings are manufactured using a brand-new metal stamper that is being used for the very first time [see more below]

further details

A.  Record pressing plants usually use a certain amount of regrind in the manufacture of  records. REGRIND is obtained by removing the centres from faulty or unwanted vinyl records and grinding up the residual vinyl. This is mixed with a quantity of new or virgin vinyl to be melted down to produce new records. Test pressings, A labels, promo copies etc., are pressed ONLY using VIRGIN vinyl, hence the sound quality will be better with less surface noise.

 

B.  As records are pressed, the stampers used to press the records gradually wear out. Over a run of 1000 or so records, the physical wear and tear of stamping out vinyl records gradually causes a deterioration in the nickel stampers and the records produced from these soundless sharp or clear. Test pressings etc., are manufactured in noticeably short runs, anything from 10 to 50 copies, so the stampers are producing perfect records.
