What makes this interesting (besides the fact it's a test pressing for the first Beastie Boys release) are the vinyl labels.
The labels are actually old/spare labels from another job of the pressing plant, Lady Eleanor by Lindisfarne on Elektra.
Not unique to this release, it's a practice when the pressing plant run white label test presses they use any spare labels that were surplus to requirements from other jobs, but turn them backwards so the plain white underside is showing out. With all the heat & pressure sometimes the print shows through from the other side.
