MARCH 1ST 1976 WITH A RELEASE DATE SCHEDULED AS MAY 3RD 1976 - JETHRO TULL - TOO OLD TO ROCK N' ROLL: TOO YOUNG TO DIE - 12" VINYL RECORD TEST PRESSING LP - PRESSED BY WARNER BROS. RECORDS FOR CHRYSALIS RECORDS - INCLUDES THE WARNER BROS. CHRYSALIS LABEL COPY RECORD INFORMATION SHEET AND THE ORIGINAL GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET - RECORD MATRIX NUMBERS- CHR-1/2-1111 - CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS.
TEST PRESSINGS ARE THE FIRST RECORDS PRESSED FROM THE PLATES 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. I DID LISTEN TO BOTH SIDES ENTIRELY THRU AND THE RECORD SOUNDS GREAT.
SIDE ONE CONTAINS: QUIZZ KID - CRAZED INSTITUTION - SALAMANDER - TAXI GRAB - FROM A DEAD BEAT TO AN OLD GREASER.
SIDE TWO CONTAINS:BAD-EYED AND LOVELESS - BIG DIPPER - TOO OLD TO ROCK N' ROLL: TOO YOUNG TO DIE - PIED PIPER - THE CHEQUERED FLAG.
I PLAYED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE HOOKED UP TO A HEAD AMP AND IT SOUNDS VERY NICE. MOVING BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD AROUND UNDER A 100 WATT LIGHT BULB THERE'S A FEW LIGHT SURFACE MARKS BUT "FEW" AND "LIGHT" ARE THE KEY WORKS HERE. I DON'T USE GRADES LIKE M- OR VG+ BECAUSE FROM MY EXPERIENCES BUYING ON EBAY EVEN M- IN MANY CASES MEANS CRAPPY. BUT THIS RECORD WOULD BE AN HONEST VG+ TO ME. LOOKS LIKE THE RECORD INFORMATION SHEET WAS ONCE TAPED TO THE FRONT OF THE CARDBOARD JACKET BUT IS NOW LOOSE. THE GENERIC CARDBOARD JACKET HAS SOME SEAM SPLITS, YELLOWING, WRITING, . BUT IT'S ONLY A GENERIC CARDBOARD JACKET ANYWAY AND IS 39 YEARS OLD AFTER ALL. SEE PHOTOS. THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED WHICH HAS SEAM SPLITS, YELLOWING AND JUST GENERAL OLD AGE. SO THE RECORD COMES IN A HIGH QUALITY PLASTIC LINED INNER SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
