Anyone have info on this....

I got this off of E-Bay, apparently a test pressing. Does anybody have any information on this? Is it real? Where was it pressed? Anything?

why would a test pressing have a promotional only sticker on it?

Doesn't look like a test pressing to me. At least from earlier periods, the test pressings say Bernie Grundman Mastering on the label and have handwritten information on the contents written on the jacket. Does it sound just like the released version?

The Census Bureau estimates that there are 2,518 American Indians and Alaska Natives currently living in the city of Long Beach.

It looks similar to this one from Sleevographia under GBR [test] but with different writing on the label. Would two different people write on the two different labels? Note that it has the same "promotional use only" sticker on it.

BTW, it sounds just like the official 12". Whether it's fake or not I got a nice piece for the collection. I didn't pay much either.
