TEST PRESSING
Test pressings are the first copies (typically 5 to 10) of a record that are pressed from the metal stampers to assess the quality of the pressed records. They are usually sent to artists, producers, record labels, and other key stakeholders for approval. These test pressings are usually devoid of artwork, labels, or any other decorative elements, focusing solely on the audio quality. Made while the stampers are fresh, they would sound better and are often considered valuable by collectors.
