As with all new albums, this test pressing was created in extremely limited quantities. Though official numbers are not made public, less than 15-20 test pressings are usually produced. Test pressings are rarely, if ever, produced in quantities in the dozens or hundreds--even in the case of a promotional item such as this. This test pressing is not sealed but remains new/unplayed. Test pressings are usually sent unsealed to the recipient, be it the artist, label, producer, or other party.
This particular test press was only made available as a promotional/giveaway item to select independent record stores in the U.S. to promote Damien's first new album in 8 years.

Damien Rice - My Favourite Faded Fantasy [Vinyl - NEW TEST PRESS]
Label: WARNER BROS.
Format: LP
Release Date: 10 Nov 2014 (TEST PRESS 31 Oct 2014)
The item is brand new and unplayed.
Vinyl LP pressing. MY FAVOURITE FADED FANTASY is Damien Rice's first collection of material in eight years and was produced by Rick Rubin and Rice himself. It is a selection of songs, which Rice says are "sung straight into the metaphorical mirror." Intimate, frank and revitalized by making music again, MY FAVOURITE FADED FANTASY is a record that accepts one's faults but also begins, perhaps, to appreciate one's ability to grow up. The recording process began in Los Angeles and finished up with a cast of friends and local musicians against the stunning backdrop of Reykjavik, Iceland.

Album Notes
Damien Rice doesn't do anything in a hurry. He lets his songs unfold at a deliberate, almost stately pace and he's similarly unconcerned about rushing through his career, taking a full eight years to deliver 2014's My Favourite Faded Fantasy, which amounts to only his third record in 12 years. Other artists who have experienced a similarly long gestation period return with long, overblown works, but not Rice. He teamed with Rick Rubin, the Zen master of acoustic basics, to shape an exquisitely textured collection of eight songs that runs just a hair over 50 minutes (a simultaneously released deluxe edition contains just one bonus cut). Rice doesn't greatly expand his aesthetic -- he's still equal parts Jeff Buckley and Thom Yorke, cut with the sullen singer/songwriter sophistication of Nick Drake -- but refinement is Rice's signature. He whittles away the excess in his words and melody, then dresses the detailed sculpture in finely tailored accouterments of slightly sighing strings, strummed guitars, and a hint of forward momentum lying within buried rhythms. This means My Favourite Faded Fantasy may come on as a bit underwhelming at first but that's the intent: it's not designed to grab, it's designed to soothe and then slowly worm its way into the subconscious, which is where these eight songs reveal themselves to be as strong as anything else Rice has written. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
