Was at the GW tonight and looked through the records for something interesting and came across this. It's a LP to check out your TT and stereo system. Has test for balance, left and right channel, volume reference, frequency run test, output balance, wow or flutter testing, phase check, rumble check and acoustical test.
The other side of the album has 4 different recordings to play.
It's put out by Command records, anyone ever try this on there TT?

"Command test record

The Command test record (Stereo Check Out) was an LP album produced by Command Records in 1960. It contained recordings designed to allow users to test their stereo equipment.

Album details[edit]

Like many other Command records, the Stereo Check Out came in a gatefold cover with extensive liner notes and full technical data inside. Charles Stark narrated both sides, providing both technical details and information about the musical instruments used on the tracks on Side Two.

Side one[edit]

Side One of this LP consists of turntable tests. An oscilloscope is a useful tool when used in conjunction with these tests:

  1. Stereo Balance Check
  2. Left and Right Channel Check
  3. Volume Reference Check
  4. Frequency Run Check
  5. Output Balance Check
  6. Flutter or Wow Check
  7. Phasing Check
  8. Acoustical Check
  9. Rumble Check

Side two[edit]

Side Two of this LP consists of musical selections from the Command catalogue:

  1. Hernando's Hideaway (from Provocative Percussion Vol II)
  2. Cumana (from Provocative Piano)
  3. Tenderly (from bongos)
  4. Enjoy Yourself Cha-Cha (from Pertinent Percussion Cha-Cha's)..."

LVMAN, that's it. Looks to be in good condition. When I have a little time I'll play with it and see if I find any problems with my TT. Not bad for a buck.
