That's what test pressings look like. They're given to the customer by the
pressing house so the label reps or artist can verify that everything is

art or anything - just a cat number on the label, maybe the project name,
maybe the mastering engineer. Buyer beware, of course, but if you're scared
because it looks skint don't worry. Test pressings are meant to look skint.
