Comment: Test pressing of 39/Smooth, black vinyl and plain white label, with a sticker with printed text on it. Comes in a white inner sleeve which has a info sheet from Mordam records (Lookout records distribution) attached to it. Around 30 exsist.

From Larry Livermore "There are probably about 30 of them. More were pressed for albums because they were sent out to distributors as samples so they'd know how many they wanted to order.  This wasn't usually done for 7"s, so there would usually only be three to six test pressings made."
Tracklist: At the library/ Don't leave me/ I was there/ Dissapearing boy/ Green Day/ Going to Pasalacqua/ 16/ Road to Acceptance/ Rest/ The Judges Daughter
