This auction is for a STILL SEALED, single sided (for optimal sound performance) 2-LP Test Pressing marked A2, B1 of the Classic Records 180gram reissue of Matthew Sweet's "Girlfriend". These highly collectible test pressings are from the first stamper and less than 20 exist. Test pressings reflect the closest you can get to the lacquers and hence have a special collectible value and store of value.
Single Sided Test Pressings offer the ultimate in sonic fidelity. The benefits of having a blank sided record include better surface contact with the turntable platter resulting in more efficient transmission of resonances into the platter and away from the cartridge groove modulation. Further, elimination of grooves on the blank side preclude the existence of reverse side groove micro standing waves which are another form of resonance that can smear playback sound. For the ultimate in vinyl playback single sided LP's offer the creme de la creme of pressings providing additional clarity and definition to the sound. Generally, only a few single sided test pressing sets are made from the first stamper gives them even more collectible value ongoing.
