This is record number four of five test pressings made for the Sonanta Con Metales project. Only two of these pressings are available for sale.

What is a test pressing?

A test pressing is created during production as a way to ensure quality and accuracy of the final product. It's a form of quality control before mass production begins. Due to limited availability and connection to the production process, test pressings are often highly sought after by collectors.

The outer sleeve is signed by Gustavo Alonso López. The inner sleeve and the record itself are signed by both Gustavo Alonso López and Jay Roulston.
