TEST PRESSINGS ARE THE FIRST RECORDS PRESSED FROM THE PLATES / STAMPERS 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 OR SONGS ARE DIFFERENT.

SIDE ONE CONTAINS: JENNY-LYNNE - BRANDY - CATHERINE STREET - DON'T IT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD.

SIDE TWO CONTAINS: GOLDEN RAINBOW - DEALIN' WITH THE DEVIL - FROM STANTON STATION - ONE BY ONE.

I WAS TOLD THAT THIS TEST PRESSING WAS UNPLAYED WHEN I PURCHASED IT. I DID PLAY IT ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE AND BOTH SIDES PLAYED PERFECT. VISUALLY ABSOLUTELY NO SCRATCHES, MAYBE ONE OR TWO MICROSCOPIC SCUFFS BUT I'M WONDERING IF THEY'RE A RESULT OF THE VINYL AGING AND JUST SITTING IN A CARDBOARD JACKET FOR THE LAST 44 YEARS. A LITTLE YELLOWING ON THE SHEETS, HEY, ONE OF THEM IS YELLOW ANYWAY. THERE'S TWO STAPLES, ONE HOLDING THE SELECTION / RESUME SHEET TO THE OTHER TWO SHEETS AND ONE HOLDING THE OTHER TWO TOGETHER. THEY'VE STARTED TO RUST, SPECIALLY THE 2ND STAPLE. LIGHT INDENTATIONS / WRINKLES BUT NO TEARS OR WRITING. THE GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET HAS A COUPLE OF DINGS IN TOW OF THE CORNERS. NO SEAM SPLITS. WHO CARES? IT'S JUST A GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET WITH NOTHING PRINTED OR WRITTEN ON IT ANYWAY. THE RECORD COMES IN A NICE QUALITY COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
