General: I listed the test pressing before the stock copy, since the stock copy was released 2 years later.

"regarding the Beefheart BLY-610006 'test pressing' you just put up.
I have my doubts that it is a test pressing. As far as I'm concerned
these interesting looking french discs are actually samples especially
for radio stations. Possibly in France only.
I once aquired a small lot from an old radio DJ in Basel/switzerland
(very close to France) that included quite a few of these. The two
pictures I attached are from that batch. Some got the running time
marked by hand.
Also the line "Echantillon sans valeur commerciale" means nothing else
than "sample without commercial value".
The paper by 'Barclay' looks right, but do we really know?
Just a few thoughts I had about that entry. I may be wrong.
