The record industry makes every effort to insure that their commercially
released records will play properly and hold true to the sound recorded
by the recording artist. Test Pressings are run using the ?stampers?
that will be used for the final pressings. These pressings are samples
made prior to production. In appearance test pressings typically have
plain white labels, with all other identifiers hand printed in ink. When
a record pressing plant does a test pressing, they press 5 copies, 3
for the record label, and two for their files. This requires the press
to stamp 5 times to produce 5 copies. Tests must be approved before the
plant will go ahead and run the records. Test pressing are run to check
for the following: Noise, pops occurring in the same place on each test
pressing.
