The words "Sample" and "Not for sale" were printed on the label.

Test pressings are manufacturing samples intended to check the quality of a record before it is mass-producted.
They are produced in very limited quantities and are very rare. They originally were not intended for public distribution.

On label, look for "BIEM" logo in the box.
