  • 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

One, two
Comes a temptation, I never resisted
Love is a danger, I’m willing to risk it
You are that danger, and danger is Y-O-U

And so you better not come knocking on my door or I’ll throw away the key
You better not go messing round my heart you’ll end up hurting me
You’ve got the kind of eyes that I could go for
You got the kind of lips that makes me want to know more

And so you better not say nice things just for me or I’ll tum-tum-tumble down
And if you ever smile that secret smile that lovers smile I’ll drown
You’re just the kind of a guy that I always dreamed of, but one I’d never meet it seemed

Of course you know that once the flame has started
you’ve got to let it burn and glow or I’ll be broken hearted
Please say you’ll love me or set me free
Cause you’re the dangerous type of a guy for me

I saw you first, how well do I remember a stranger on the street
And when I saw no ring upon your finger my heart skipped a beat
You soaked the seeds of love that soon must flower
You got my motor racing ninety miles an hour

I don’t believe I ever felt infatuation at such a crazy sting
I had never known a heaven here on Earth where every day was spring
so tell me if there’s no hope for my scheming pinch me awake and stop this dreamin’

Don’t you know that once the wheel is turning
Acceleration makes it go until the brake is burning
Please say you’ll love me or set me free
Cause you’re the dangerous type of a guy
Cause you’re the dangerous type of a guy
Cause you’re the dangerous variety of male species for me
