    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

How lovely to be a woman, the wait was well worth while
How lovely to wear mascara and smile a woman’s smile
How lovely to have a figure that is round instead of flat
Whenever you hear boys whistle, you’re what they’re whistling at

How wonderful to feel the way a woman feels
It gives you such a glow just to know you’re wearing lipstick and heels

How lovely to be a woman, and change from boys to men
To go to a fancy nightclub and stay out after ten
How lovely to be all grown-up and free
Life’s lovely when you’re a woman like me
Like me, like me

Oh, how lovely to be a woman, the wait was well worth while
How lovely to wear mascara and smile a woman’s smile
How lovely to have a figure that is round instead of flat
Whenever you hear boys whistle, you’re what they’re whistling at

It’s wonderful to know the things a woman knows
How marvelous to wait for a date in simply beautiful clothes

How Lovely to be a woman, and have one job to do
To pick out a boy and train him, and then when you are through
You’ve made him the man you want him to be
How lovely to be a woman like me
