  • Ultimate Test Pressing Bundle (Signed)
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Ultimate Test Pressing Bundle includes:
    - Limited edition signed test pressing
    - Original album with full artwork and packaging

    About test pressings:
    Before the large-scale production of a vinyl record, a scarce number of copies are pressed to test the quality and fine-tune any audio that may need to be adjusted. Once this process is approved, Mack Avenue makes an extremely limited quantity of these test pressings available to the general public. Packaged in a simple white jacket featuring a signature from the artist (when available), these collectible test pressings are available in extremely limited quantities. Bring home a rare version of your favorite album today!

    Tips for listening to your test pressing:

    Step 1: Clean the record.
    Step 2: Play the record all the way through with the volume at zero.
    Step 3: Clean your cartridge stylus.
    Step 4: Turn up the volume and ENJOY!

lyrics

It's a very ancient saying
But a true and honest thought
That if you become a teacher
By your pupils you'll be taught
As a teacher I've been learning
You'll forgive me if I boast
And I've now become an expert
On the subject I like most
Getting to know you

Getting to know you
Getting to know all about you
Getting to like you
Getting to hope you like me
Getting to know you
Putting it my way
But nicely
You are precisely
My cup of tea

Getting to know you
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you
Getting to know what to say
Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy?
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day

Getting to know you
Getting to know all about you
Getting to like you
Getting to hope you like me
Getting to know you
Putting it my way
But nicely
You are precisely
My cup of tea

Getting to know you
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you
Getting to know what to say
Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy?
Because of all those beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day

Getting to know you
Getting to know all about you
Getting to like you
Getting to hope you like me
Getting to know you
Putting it my way
But nicely
You are precisely
My cup of tea

Ooh, getting to know you
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you
Getting to know what to say
Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy?
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
And yearning about you
Beautiful and new things
Get to know all of those new things
Day by day
Day by day

Veronica Swift Los Angeles, California

Not even 30 years old yet, Veronica Swift's command of the vocal-jazz tradition is astounding.

A master of vocalese and scat performance, she applies her gifts to genre-blurring works that continue to propel her rising star. ... more
