FatParrot you can find test pressings at record shows or on ebay. There not that uncommon I own a few in my collection. They are the very first copies on vinyl to come out of the factory then promo's then the mass produced. Most of them don't have a side # on them and my Million Dollor Babies by Alice Cooper the songs are sequed different than the ones that were mass produced.
Is this the highest price ever paid for an LP?
Granted, it's a rare acetate, but it blew my mind:
