thischarmingham Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Hey everyone, Sorry to make this it's own thread but it's sort of a special case. I'm helping a Lookout Records old timer clear out some records from their personal collection and the first batch I'm putting up tonite (Sunday June 8th) includes test pressings of some of Lookout's most crucial releases. Including stuff from... Green Day Operation Ivy Pinhead Gunpowder Rancid The Donnas Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Crimpshrine Ted Leo Citizen Fish MTX The Queers Ben Weasel Neurosis and a number of lesser titles as well. In all there are 50 records going up to tonite in 1 minute intervals starting at 6pm. Just to head you off at the pass if you're wondering if I have the "band x" test pressing you've always wanted...these are the only titles that this person has test pressings for in their personal collection that they wanted to get rid of. So if it ain't on the list I don't have it. I realize this is a bit of a teaser post since these aren't up yet but I wanted to get this out there ASAP just in case I can't get to it after the auctions are started. The last of the auctions goes up at 6:49 and you can check them out here http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZthischarmingham A BRIEF FAQ: Q. "I have some smart ass comment about Lookout's business practices or some personal jab at some specific who works/worked there, would you like to hear it?" A. Naw not really. I guarantee I've heard it before or know more about it than you probably do. I realize there are some hurt feelings out there but they've always been good people to me and in the end...I don't work for Lookout. I'm just helping someone out. Save that drama for your mama. She can't shut up about it! _____________ Q. Why isn't this under the 1-2-3-4 Go! Records ebay store? A. Because I suck at accounting. It's just easier to do it under my old personal account so I can keep all the fees straight and separate from my business. _____________ Q. I looked at the auctions and didn't see the test pressing I wanted. Can you sell it to me? A. Man you don't read too close. Once again...these titles are all that there is despite your outrageous offer of a nutrageous bar and your collection of archie comics.
