Ordered! Not a huge fan of the shirt, but whatever, it IS still a good price. I think this might be the first time I do the variant thing...

Nope, but he's pretty active on Twitter: http://twitter.com/thejoshscogin

I love twitter, after the posted the pic, some guy was like:

I don't have it, click on the pic, Good Fight posted it on twitter

That is SICK, one sided, etched, large hole! sick sick SICK

YES! Push for a box set dude!

Holy shit that sold fast, swirl is GONE. Glad I got one.

Haha Sorry to seem impatient, I'm totally not. I realize these sorts of things take time, especially when you're trying to deal with a band who is semi-retired, and with a label they haven't been attached to for YEARS. It just crossed my mind this morning and I was curious where things stood. It's cool if the answer is "exactly where it stood in May". (which seems to be the case)

So, what's the word on this?

As proven by the fact that there are some good quality picture discs released, I don't think that poor sound quality is an inherent trait, I think that the issue is that most of the bands/labels that print picture discs do it for the novelty and don't give a flying &^%* about quality. If the disc has good sound quality, it's not just the cover art, and they didn't cheap out with the packaging, then yeah, they're cool.

Sounds like an awesome package! White/Red Swirl for sure.

i agree with this. i think a test pressings is the most personal manifestation of the music, as opposed to thousands of records on a billion colors being pressed for the public. if i were in a band, and we had the fortunate opportunity to press a record, i would only request enough TPs for the band and maybe a couple other close friends. My thoughts exactly. I work very closely with a buddy's band, and when we get to the point of pressing something, we will only be getting enough pressed for the band and whoever the band members personally want to give copies to. The only time that I would be interested in a test press from a band I am not involved/invested in would be when the pressing never makes it past the test pressing stage. Or as mentioned, if the test pressing was different than the regular pressing somehow.

I want it ALL 10" would be cool, or 12" 45rpm

this does not exist this pops up on ebay somewhat regularly. you should be able to get it for 5 or 6 bucks. An ex-band member hinted that the Luti-kriss split might exist. And maybe I'm just unlucky, but I've been keeping my eye out for the Eso-Charis 7" for a while now with no luck.

I'm going to stick with the proper definition of a white whale, not just those that go for more money than I'm willing to pay (because that list would be huge). Argyle Park - Misguided (only pressing was 3 acetates) Blindside - Self-titled - glow in the dark pressing (might not be real) Luti-Kriss / Travail - Split 7" (might not be real) Eso-Charis - Setting Roots for the Winter Teargas & Plateglass - A Uniquely Hostile Place (might not be real) UPDATED: Turns out Eso-Charis isn't so much a white whale, the black/blue pressing might be, but that's it. I'm not actually sure the Blindside or Luti-Kriss pressings exist. The Teargas and Plateglass single probably has a test pressing from talking to the "band"/label, but they weren't direct in their response. There has not been any publicly available release anyway. I have a lead on one of the Argyle Park pressings, not 100% sure they're acetates now, thinking they're probably test pressings.

I'll probably grab that Shad/Dallas EP

I bought a few extra copies of the tour exclusive, if you aren't able to make it to a show hit me up. I'll sell it to you at cost.

Green #313, Red #862 Im willing to give one up, I wanted to see which colour I liked better, I think I like the green more, but it's pretty close

Mine's fine, though you may want to specify which pressing, I have the second, black pressing.

Interpunk must have got more stock, because I just order both red and green.
