Description
This is a Test Pressing of Porcupine Tree's second album produced in only a handful of copies (probably 6) circulated to the band and management for approval. It features the original mix (the album was late re-mixed with real drums added).
It is from Richard Allen's personal collection. Richard ran Delerium and signed Porcupine Tree in the early 1990s.
The Test Pressing is dated 20th of April 1993.
The test pressing has white labels with track listings printed on paper and stuck on each side . It is housed in a copy of the original retail sleeve (in perfect mint condition). The sleeve was subsequently re-designed.
A nice item UP THE DOWNSTAIRUp the Downstair is the second studio album by Porcupine Tree, first released in May 1993. It was originally intended to be a double album set including the song "Voyage 34", which was instead released as a single in 1992, and other material that ended up on the Staircase Infinities EP (1994). In 2005, it was partially re-recorded, fully re-mixed, remastered and re-released along with the Staircase Infinities EP as a double album.
