Suggesting that this copy was mastered to vinyl by Peter Dahl at Cutting Room mastering studio in Stockholm, Sweden, and subsequently pressed by PolyGram Record Service, Oslo, Norway.

Testpressings are normally used for test purposes only - to check if the transfer from the master to stampers and the overall mastering is as required. Testpressings are as such taken from the very first batch of albums pressed - that is from the first master, the first fathers, mothers and stampers. Sound quality should in theory be the best possible.

Test pressing for Danish albums are normally manfactured in very low amounts - from just a couple to less than 25.
