AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS LIVE TWO LP SET THE BAND IS INTRODUCED AS THE 2ND BEST BAND IN THE WORLD. I WONDER WHO THEY THOUGHT THE FIRST WAS OR IF IT WAS JUST SOME JOKE? INCLUDES THE LEGENDARY FEE WAYBILL AND ALL OF THEIR TUBES CLASSIC SONGS INCLUDING "WHITE PUNKS ON DOPE" AND "DON'T TOUCH ME THERE". IN 1979 FRANK ZAPPA RESPONDED ON HIS ZAPPA RECORDS RELEASE WITH L. SHANKAR THE SONG "TOUCH ME THERE". HEY, FRANK JUST WANTED EVERYBODY TO HEAR AN OPPOSING VIEW. .

SIDE THREE CONTAINS: CRIME MEDLEY: SOUND EFFECT SIREN - THEME FROM DRAGNET - THEME FROM PETER GUNN - THEME FROM PERRY MASON - THEME FROM THE UNTOUCHABLES - I WAS A PUNK BEFORE YOU WERE A PUNK - I SAW HER STANDING THERE - DRUM SOLO.

SIDE FOUR CONTAINS: BOY CRAZY - YOU'RE NO FUN - STAND UP AND SHOUT - WHITE PUNKS ON DOPE.

TEST PRESSINGS ARE THE FIRST RECORDS PRESSED FROM THE 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.

THESE TEST PRESSINGS CAME IN A GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET. RING WEAR, WRITING BUT NO SEAM SPLITS. WHO CARES ABOUT THE CONDITION OF GENERIC CARDBOARD JACKETS ANYWAY? THEY'RE BETTER THAN HAVING NO JACKET OR ALBUM COVERS FOR SURE, SO WHAT I'M SURE IS THE ORIGINAL IS INCLUDED. THE RECORD INFORMATION SHEETS WERE ATTACHED BY A STAPLE IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER THAT HAD STARTED TO RUST AND I REMOVED. WHO NEEDS A RUSTY STAPLE ANYWAY? CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS

I  PLAYED BOTH RECORDS COMPLETELY THRU ON A DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE HOOKED UP TO A HEAD AMP. THIS KIND OF CARTRIDGE TRACKS BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD GROOVE AND THE HEAD AMP AMPLIFIES THE SH*T OUT OF THEM. BOTH RECORDS PLAY GREAT, GOOD 'N LOUD. } THERE'S ALWAYS SOME KIND OF SURFACE NOISE WHEN AMPLIFIED THAT MUCH }. ABSOLUTELY NO POPS, NO CLICKS, AND OF COURSE NO SKIP. TO PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE, VISUALLY THE RECORDS LOOK BEAUTIFUL. MAYBE SOME FAINT SCUFFS SOMEWHERE BUT THESE RECORDS HAVEN'T BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL. I DON'T USE SUBJECTIVE GRADES LIKE MINT, M- OR WHATEVER. IF YOU WANT THOSE TYPES OF GRADES THEY'LL BE PLENTY OF SCHMUCKS LINING UP ON THIS SITE TO SELL YOU SOME. THE RECORDS ORIGINALLY CAME IN PLAIN WHITE PAPER SLEEVES THAT I KEPT AND ARE INCLUDED, BUT TO AVOID ANY POTENTIAL FUTURE PAPER SCUFFS FOR THE NEXT 38 YEARS BOTH RECORDS COME IN HIGH QUALITY COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVES, AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YA' A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.
