Todd Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 https://www.ebay.com/itm/224330332537 For context, there were anywhere from 20-40 copies made, as Lookout sent tests to record stores and distributors as promotional copies. Personally, I don’t think it’s worth more than $450, but someone out there is crazy enough to spend over $1000. With 5 days left, I’m curious to see if it will go any higher 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Yosuke Hanamura Posted January 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2021 I think the guy who made this listing got a little carried away with the description. “Billie Joe's BIG DICK guitar tones ring out with fury on this LEGENDARY bands 1st effort.” 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Androids Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Is it actually true that test pressing sound better or just sellers jargon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this on Reddit: ”The quality of a pressing run steadily declines somewhat as the stampers slowly wear out. So would you rather have copy #3 or copy #9,875?” I can’t imagine the difference would be all that noticeable though 3 hours ago, BillieMyLove said: I mean, I wouldn't really argue with that description tho.... I would. Are the guitar tones on 39/Smooth really that good? Especially compared to Dookie or American Idiot? And can Billie even claim responsibility for the guitar tones? He only had one shitty amp at the time, which John bought. A lot of that was Andy Ernst’s production, and probably the studio’s amps.

Well I mean, they were just getting started then. They certainly were not yet at the level they were by the time they reached Dookie or American Idiot. But for what they were at that time, I think it is very good and nicely foreshadows that they were headed for great thing. Is it $1,000 good? I doubt it LOL, but I can see why someone might value it.

nopride84 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 The record pressing plant doesn't put much time and care into the test pressings, they are meant to test tone and general accuracy of what was "wanted" during the cutting process. The actual quality of the pressing is not meant to be at the same level as that of the retail product that will be released Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
