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. DON'T BELIEVE THE CRAP SOME PEOPLE CLAIM TO SAY ABOUT TEST PRESSINGS THAT THEY'RE INFERIOR TO THE RELEASED ALBUM. THEY'RE MADE TO TEST THE SOUND QUALITY AND CONTENT AND IF IT SOUNDS CRAPPY, THEY FIX THE PROBLEMS AND MAKE NEW STAMPERS BEFORE THEY RELEASE IT. 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. THIS ONE SOUNDS GREAT.

BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD LOOK BEAUTIFUL AND SOUND FANTASTIC. VISUALLY I DON'T SEE ANY SCUFFS ON EITHER SIDE AND I PLAYED BOTH SIDES IN THEIR ENTIRETY ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE. THE GENERIC CARDBOARD ALBUM JACKET HAS SOME YELLOWING AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE ALBUM WRITTEN ON NE OF THE SIDES. IT'S PROBABLY THE ORIGINAL JACKET AND I DON'T KNOW WHO DID THE WRITING. THERE'S SOME RING WEAR BUT NO SEAM SPLITS FOR ANYBODY WHO REALLY GIVE A F*CK ABOUT THE CONDITIONS OF GENERIC CARDBOARD JACKETS. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE JEAN LUC PONTY ALBUMS AS NOT ONLY DID I GET TO SEE THEM PERFORM IT LIVE IN 1976 AT THE CELLAR DOOR IN WASHINGTON, DC, BUT BESIDES JEAN LUC PONTY IT HAS FORMER FRANK ZAPPA BAND BASS PLAYER TOM FOWLER NOT TO MENTION ALLAN ZAVOD.THE RECORD COMES WITH A HIGH QUALITY COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE. SO WADDA YEZ WAITIN' FOR, HUH?
