I always assumed that the point of test pressing would be to test to
see if you were happy with the outcome before you actually went ahead
and made a full run... thus preventing you from getting stuck with
loads of records you weren't happy with...
Is this incorrect?
Perhaps, nowadays, with larger artists, its a 'collectible' thing,
going under the assumption that the final is acceptable and the test
pressing is more of a prerelease item or something...
I was thinking about having a limited run of 12"s made up, but I'm
scared shitless that they will sound nothing like I want them to and
I'll be stuck with a bunch of records that sound WORSE than they
should =) Guess thats where I got my test pressing notions from...
