RE: (TV) Marquee Moon Test Press

[Brad Orgeron <bradjenmax@sbcglobal.net>]

$30.00 huh? i don't think so, but thanks for asking. i made some of my own inquiries on the boards. somebody will want it and somebody will pay for it. his calculation is flawed as a copy of the elektra first release with the butterfly label sold for $78.00 last week - i can't believe that this is worth less than that. max still is not home yet. superluvs

  

I can answer this one, anyway. Labels use a variety of pressing plants, with
a variety of owners (Capitol, Warners, etc.). Sometimes they go with one
close by, sometimes they go with one favored by the mastering engineer (or
where the mastering engineer is employed). These test pressings will go out
to the band, the label staff working with the band, the producer, and
sometimes even to reviewers.

I have no idea what the value might be, but I imagine someone who's been a
Television fan since 1977 might like to acquire a copy. The audio quality of
test pressings can sometimes be quite good, even better than the final
release. Or not--sometimes test pressings have flaws that are corrected
before the official release.
