Yall don't need to post here anymore to say you're interested - it's pretty clear that there's enough interest for this.

Alas I'm planning on taking this right from high-res masters to disc, so no redbook step should be necessary. Thanks though. I'll probably ask for everybody's advice with dealing with mastering houses at the proper time.
Status update. I'm still working on figuring out what I want to test on the record, and how, and what tracks to make, etc. I'm flogging around a design document among one or two people describing everything, and once I feel that it's complete, I'll post it.
I'll warn yall in advance though.. In my preliminary estimates of recording time, a little under half of the record will be the usual balance/tracking/antiskate stuff that everybody needs. As far as I can ascertain, as long as the mastering isn't brain dead, everybody will make good use out of them. The rest of the record I'll reserve for highly experimental stuff, and will be absolutely nuts. I want to get some fairly esoteric tests in there, like estimating horizontal/vertical tracking angle, wow/flutter spectral measurement from DC to 5khz, static/dynamic stylus drag, etc. Some of them are documented in old AES articles, but I might be rolling my own on the rest. The risk of me screwing something up on these tracks is rather high. But if I get them right, I'm pretty sure yall will like the results. And I need some way of filling up all that space!
Pink noise is pretty likely to be included, but only as a manual, "use your ears" sort of test. I'm convinced it's not useful for any fine grained frequency response measurement.
for some reason I can't get the Thread Tools menu to come down, so I'm replying to subscribe to this thread. And so as to not be a waste of a post, I'm also interested in at least 1 disc.

It's touching how American neoconservatives, who have no regard for international law when they want to invade some troublesome country, have developed a sudden reverence for national sovereignty.
