Vinyl Test Pressing + Object Permanence XI

These are the copies sent to me for approval by the pressing plant before doing the full run of records. We only get 5, and typically each band member would get one. So I've never sold the tests. But since it's just me on this, I can share these unique pieces with you. Only 5 of them exist, and I'm keeping one, so just 4 are available! I'll sign and number it and dedicate it to you before shipping. I'll also include a copy of the retail vinyl so you will get the album art and fancy wax (test pressings are always black vinyl).

TEST PRESSINGS, often known as white label pressings, are copies produced from the masters by the pressing plants in tiny quantities. These test discs are then sent to the artists and record companies for approval before the main manufacturing run commences.

What Are White Label Test Pressings?

These discs are very rare and much sought after by collectors as these are the working copies intended for the artists and label executives to check that the vinyl mastering process is true to the master tapes. The discs were not created for retail sale as part of a manufacturing run. They are genuine individual test pressings used at work in the industry by the artists and record labels.
