Test Pressing
The test pressing is characterized by a different vinyl colour and especially a more elaborated cover.
Remarks
- Only 5 copies were made.
- Pressed on transparent vinyl without labels.
- The alphabetical lettering of the record side is written directly on the vinyl.
- The cover consists of a generic black gatefold sleeve with four printed stickers to be fitted to the cover sides.
- One sticker is nearly identical to the cover back of the final release,
- skipping the the "MADE FOR FANS NOT FOR MONEY" and the "Cover made by REPTILE" logo.
- Another one is like the front cover of the final release held in purple colour.
- The other two are similar to the latter one varying the colour and the illustration:
- One shows a detail from the illustration "Dante Addresses Traitor Bocca Degli Abati" in green and
- the other "Brunetto Latini accosts Dante" in blue.
- These are also engravings by Gustave Doré for Dante's Inferno
- The cover is handnumbered .../ 5 in a black colour.
