Die hard vinyl collectors know that the very early test pressings of records came in two separate vinyls, one for each side of a single or LP. The matching white standard covers were usually marked the matrix numbers written on it. But beside this you also find a date, which was the date the record was actually pressed for test p<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">urposes.<br \/>\nOn the picture you see the original Bohemian Rhapsody 1 sided 7&#8243; test pressing with its matching &#8220;I&#8217;m in love with car&#8221; <\/span>cover and vinyl. These one sided test pressings were pressed in very few quantities and given to band members and management to check quality before authorizing the run of the pressing of the copies to be released.<\/p><div class=\"2416a19e08873d0076105f82e7f970da\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6280590296994447\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- quadrato -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:500px;height:250px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6280590296994447\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"6452889443\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><span class=\"text_exposed_show\">This special copy is so unique&nbsp;as it was Freddie&#8217;s; it was then given to Jim Hutton, his last partner.
