XPAS 71059 - MATRIX NOS SAHS 1642/3 - SEE THE PHOTOS THAT CAN BE ENLARGED -
AN ULTRA RARE ORIGINAL TEST PRESSING OF SAVOY BROWN'S JACK THE TOAD AND A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY SAVOY BROWN AND / OR 70'S ROCK / BLUES ROCK RECORD COLLECTION.
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 HAVEN'T COMPARED THIS TEST PRESSING TO THE STOCK COPY, SO I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THE SONG MIXES OR SONGS ARE DIFFERENT.
SIDE ONE CONTAINS: COMING DOWN YOUR WAY - RIDE ON BABE - HOLD YOUR FIRE - IF I WANT TO - ENDLESS SLEEP.
SIDE TWO CONTAINS: CASTING MY SPELL - JUST COS' YOU GOT THE BLUES DON'T MEAN YOU GOTTA SING - SOME PEOPLE - JACK THE TOAD.
THE RECORD INFORMATION SHEET IS TAPED TO THE FRONT OF THE GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET, THE SHEET HAS FADED OVER THE LAST 39 YEARS BUT YOU CAN STILL SEE WHAT WAS PRINTED ON IT. THERE'S AN "X" IN FRONT OF THE NUMBERS OF THREE SONGS AND A CHECK MARK WITH "JC" WRITTEN IN BLUE PEN AFTER THOSE SONG TITLES. ALSO "SAVOY BROWN" IS WRITTEN IN THE BLANK SPACE OF THE UPPER LEFT CORNER ON THE INFORMATION SHEET. ON THE BACK IS WRITTEN " 5/28/73 " AND SOME INITIALS. ALSO ZAL 11679-1 AND 11680-1. IT'S A HEAVY CARDBOARD JACKET WITH NO SEAM SPLITS AND A LITTLE YELLOWING WITH BASIC WEAR. I MEAN WHO REALLY CARES ABOUT GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKETS ANYWAY? EXCEPT IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE THE ORIGINAL SPECIALLY IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRITTEN ON IT.
I PLAYED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE HOOKED UP TO A HEAD AMP AND IT SOUNDED GREAT, VERY LITTLE SURFACE NOISE AND THE RECORD LOOKS GREAT TOO. WHEN I MOVED THE RECORD AROUND UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT THERE'S A VERY FEW HARD TO REALLY SEE HAIR LINE SCUFF MARKS ON THE RECORD SURFACES. THE RECORD LOOKS GREAT, NICE AND SHINY. THE DATE, NAME OF TEST PRESSING RECORD COMPANY, CATALOG NUMBER, SERIAL NUMBER, ARTIST AND COMPOUND NUMBER ARE WRITTEN IN AFTER THE PRINTED CATEGORIES ON THE LABELS. ALSO SIDE ONE AND TWO. THE ORIGINAL WHITE GENERIC INNER SLEEVE WHICH I SAVED IS INCLUDED BUT I SAVED IT ANYWAY AND PUT THE RECORD IN A HIGH QUALITY TYPE OF COLLECTOR'S INNER SLEEVE, AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE IS ALSO NOW INCLUDED.
