dann0 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Recieved a package in the mail today with what appears to be a test pressing of an album I had my wife order through Vinyl Collective. The only way I know this is from searching the website and finding this forum. Anyway, Sparta is a favorite of ours... seeing them 3 times in Seattle and once in Brooklyn, and this surprise is very much appreciated. I very recently started listening to vinyl again, and have been sort-of brought back to my youth, sitting on the floor surrounded by Replacements, Husker Du, Big Black, Springsteen etc. albums making mix tapes for unrequited loves hahah, ah to be young again. So anyway, not quite sure if this is the 'forum' to express this, but to whom it may concern, thanks alot and I hope to order more cool albums in the future. Any info about the album would be appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann0 Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 do you know what a normal print run is? this is #9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobe Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 There's usually 5-8 test pressings, but there can be an almost unlimited amount as the label can request (and pay for) as many as they'd like. It would seem there are 10 for the Sparta record if yours is 9/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann0 Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hah yeh seems logical. Thanks again. If anyone cares, I'm going to Australia next week if there are any requests for weird bands/albums I can help with. Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
googlemyass Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 just so you know, that test pressing is the only thing stopping me from the whole collection, so if you ever want to sell it, id like to buy it! this is my favorite band for sure!
