IF YOU'VE NEVER HEARD THESE GUYS THEY'RE GREAT!!! PAUL GILBERT SOUNDS A LITTLE LIKE YNGWIE MALMSTEEN EXCEPT MAYBE FASTER AND TOGETHER WITH THEIR OTHER GUITARIST, BRUCE BOUILLET, THEY DO SOME GREAT GUITAR SOLO EXCHANGES. IF YOU LIKE GUITARISTS AND BANDS THAT SIMPLY SHRED YOU'LL LIKE RACER X.

SIDE TWO CONTAINS: SCIT SCAT WAH - INTO THE NIGHT - PAUL'S SOLO - MOTOR MAN - SCOTT'S SOLO - SET THE WORLD ON FIRE.

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 DON'T HAVE THE REGULAR VINYL RELEASE OF THIS ALBUM TO COMPARE THE TEST PRESSING WITH SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY DIFFERENCES. HOWEVER I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS TEST PRESSING SOUNDS INCREDIBLE.

BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD SOUND GREAT, THESE GUYS REALLY SHERD!!! I PLAYED BOTH SIDES ON MY DENON TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE HOOKED UP TO A HEAD AMP BEFORE THE PRE-AMP SO I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THIS RECORD REALLY SOUNDS LIKE AND THERE'S NO SURFACE NOISE THAT I HEARD.  I BET IF THERE WAS YOU WOULDN'T HEAR IT ANYWAY BECAUSE THESE GUYS ARE NOT ONLY SUPER FAST BUT LOUD!!, AND ACTUALLY SINCE IT'S A TEST PRESSING WHICH ALWAYS SOUNDS GREAT AS LONG AS IT WASN'T PLAYED TO DEATH AND THIS ONE JUST MIGHTA' BEEN PLAYED ONLY ONCE BY ME. WHEN I MOVED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD AROUND UNDER A 100 WATT LIGHT BULB THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NO SCRATCHES, NOT EVEN ONE PAPER SCUFF THAT I COULD FIND ON EITHER SIDE OF THE RECORD. MAYBE THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS IT SOUND INCREDIBLE. HARD TO BELIEVE THE RECORD IS 27 YEARS OLD. THERE'S ONE SMALL YELLOWING SPOT ON ONE OF THE LABELS. OTHER THAN THAT THE LABELS ARE PERFECT. THE RECORD COMES WITH A GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD ALBUM JACKET NOTHING WRITTEN OR PRINTED ON THE JACKET. NO SEAM SPLITS. THERE'S A HAND WRITTEN INFORMATION PIECE OF PAPER WRITTEN IN INK WITH THE RECORD WHICH WASN'T ORIGINALLY INCLUDED WITH THIS TEST PRESSING. THE RECORD ALSO COMES WITH A HIGH QUALITY INNER SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
