White label test pressing or promo, black vinyl. Two different versions exist, this is referred to as version 2 (view version 1). The differences are the rings on the labels on side A, and the label area on side B. One version 1 also came with an info sheet. Both are on black vinyl, with a white label on side A. This comes in a brown inner paper sleeve, and there has not been one with a release sheet as was found included with one version 1 test pressing. The ring on side A is smaller than version 1, just like the retail issues. The blank area on side B is also smaller, showing the matrix just like on the retail issues. Thor Lindsay of Tim/Kerr Records said that 50 test pressings were made, as does a note included with one copy. The note was either written by Lindsay or another person at T/K Records. It also came in a picture sleeve in addition to the standard brown inner sleeve, possibly added by a later owner or by whoever from Tim/Kerr sold this in the first place. The huge quantity of test pressings must mean that they were used for promotion. Another copy came with a sticker claiming that approximately 25 copies were made. As Lindsay himself has said there are 50, that should be incorrect. The label also had handwritten titles, most likely added by a later owner.
