Lmfaooo, well I hope you get it! I added a really good pressing of Crosby, Stills, and Nash’s self titled. Hbu?

I have a decent Japanese pressing of that one. Fighters crossed that we both get a copy! They had a decently priced Sigur Ros album I've been missing, so that's what I added.
 
Interesting comment from the RTI plating guy I heard the other day.
He said the test pressings are plated quickly and will have lower sound quality compared to the production pressings.

I heard it on the Westman Dookie video if I recall correctly.
It busted the shit out of Westman's bubble because he was holding the test pressing in his hand at the time.

interesting! seems strange that a test pressing, which is used to approve the production run, would be hastily done or that it would sound different to the pressing run.

I have 6 MMJs. The noisiest one - in fact the only one with any noise - is a tp of Somethin’ Else.

TP's are, for the most part, intended as a check on plating before those plates go into production. Generally, they aren't used for sonic evaluations, although MM did send out TP's for evaluation of sound ( I know, I was one who got MM TP's) and - not common to other audiophile labels - would recut based on feedback.

So there are a few MM's where the TP sounds a bit different than the production run.

I didn’t know any of that one way or another. I bought it for the novelty at a pretty good price (although more than $40). I sold the few other MMJs I owned bc I prefer 70s RVGs. The exceptions are harder to come by in that form — Parlan/Headin’ South; Drew-Undercurrent; and Brooks - Back to the Tracks. That leaves (for me) Henderson - Page One and Morgan - Search for the New Land, which will go if I come across other copies, and I really like the DSD HDTT of Somethin’ Else so have no need to find that again on vinyl.
