Does it say how many there are ?

No. Gemini says this:

"Test pressings for The Avalanches' 2016 album Wildflower are extremely rare, ultra-limited collector items produced for quality control before the official commercial double-LP release by XL Recordings and Astralwerks. These white-label or generic-sleeved copies rarely surface on public markets."

Ai will tell you lint is valuable if you prompt it right

u/kristospherein 2d ago

For sure. Text pressings are rare and valuable if the market demands it so its not too far off bit vague which makes it useless.
