INCLUDES "THE WALLS CAME DOWN" WHICH WAS A SONG THAT RECEIVED A BUNCH OF RADIO AIR PLAY WHEN THIS ALBUM WAS RELEASED.
TEST PRESSINGS ARE THE FIRST LPS THAT ARE MADE FROM THE STAMPERS TO CHECK THE SOUND QUALITY AND EVEN THE CONTENT BEFORE AN OFFICIAL RELEASE IS MADE. SOMETIMES TEST PRESSINGS CONTAIN DIFFERENT MUSIC MIXES OF THE SONGS, OR EVEN IN SOME CASES DIFFERENT SONGS ALTOGETHER IN WHICH CASE SOME OTHER STAMPERS ARE MADE WITH THE CHANGES THAT THE BAND OR USUALLY THE PRODUCER WANTED TO MAKE FOR THE FINAL RELEASE. I HAVEN'T COMPARED THIS TEST PRESSING TO THE NORMAL RELEASE STOCK COPY BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ONE. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS ANYTHING DIFFERENT. BUT I DO KNOW THIS MUCH, SINCE TEST PRESSINGS ARE THE FIRST RECORDS THAT ARE MADE FROM THE STAMPERS, THEY'RE USUALLY THE BEST QUALITY OF THE RECORDS THAT GET PRESSED BEFORE THE STAMPERS START TO WEAR DOWN.
SIDE ONE CONTAINS: THE WALLS CAME DOWN - TURN A BLIND EYE - TIME OF YOUR LIFE - MODERN ROMANS - BACK FROM THE FRONT.
SIDE TWO CONTAINS: DESTINATION - VIOLENT TIMES - FACE TO FACE - ALL ABOUT YOU.
BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD PLAY GREAT WITH MINIMAL SURFACE NOISE WHEN I PLAYED THIS RECORD ON A DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE. THIS KIND OF CARTRIDGE TRACKS BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD GROOVE. VISUALLY WHEN I MOVED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD AROUND UNDER A PAIR OF 100 WATT LIGHT BULBS THERE WERE A FEW OF THOSE HAIRLINE TYPE OF SCUFFS / SURFACE MARKS. BUT IN ANY CASE THERE WERE NONE THAT WERE DEEP GROOVE ENOUGH TO CAUSE ANY CLICKS, POPS OR SKIPS. ANYWAY, YOU'LL ENJOY THIS RECORD. THE MERCURY RECORD INFORMATION SHEET HAS TWO HOLES DOWN THE LEFT SIDE, SOME CREASES AND SOME YELLOWING. HEY, THIS RECORD INFORMATION SHEET IS 37 YEARS OLD ALREADY. THE RECORD COMES WITH A WHITE GENERIC CARDBOARD JACKET WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT'S THE ORIGINAL ONE TOO. SOME YELLOWING, LIGHT WEAR BUT NO SEAM SPLITS, AND A COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE. A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE IS ALSO INCLUDED.
