Test press are for musicians (if they are alive) and producers for approval. They are NOT FOR SALE. Without approval of the test press no one will press the rest. Test press is a final test for quality. Normally it’s 5-10 test press copies, but for such a huge label as Analog Production they can make 500-100 test press (too much in my opinion), but they can sell them later for crazy price!
The most valuable test presses are definitely NOT REISSUE, but a vintage test press of the ORIGINAL release made decades ago in very small quantity (few copies). Before test press there is an acetate cut (the rarest thing as it can be only one off).
