(SIREN P11 - TESTPRESSING)

DATE / COUNTRY:
1998-03-13

TRACKS:

PROMO RELEASE:
CD V2 Music London
14 tracks

NOTES:
"What a Feeling" had been named "What A Feeling (Fruit)" on this release.

This CD was sold in 2007 by "manintheocean" on eBay with the following description: "This is a test pressing CD of the Siren album. This was Heather's copy from mastering and is signed on the CD itself as well as the booklet. There are some notes in pen on the actual cd inlay (marking which vocal mix should be used). The CD has no major scratches on, and plays perfectly (you can hear how a CD sounds like before it is copied..much better). The actual mixes on the CD are different to the final album in some cases. I think it was just the vocal levels."
