Here are some of the test presses I have and how I got them:

Sex vid-Tania 7"-I know the guy who put it out and he gave me one

Defect, Defect-Yeah, I'm a terrorist 7"-Good friends with the band, got one from a member

Earth Crisis-Destroy the Machines LP-Bought it and an huge earth crisis/7gen lot from this dude who broke edge and sold out. Got the whole lot for just under 150, which is a steal if you ask me.

I basically shelled out for the test pressings I got, but I'm working on getting more current stuff (like yet to be released or coming out), which is slightly cheaper. Once a band is popular (like the Rumbleseat one I bought) it's not going to be cheap.

But I did get ones for Fifth Hour Hero and This is My Fist for like $25 a piece I think. I was stoked.

Mine have all been acquired via either eBay or the band themselves...smaller bands that were small at the time...

how sick would shai hulud tests be?? ceraintly back-hair-burning sick!

Hells yeah. I actually had a chance for a test press of "A Profound Hatred of Man" 7"...I tried to snipe it but some kid beat me out of it...for a low price too!...Turns out that he had just started to build up his collection..."That Within..." was already 2 years old by then...

I was mad as hell that I got beat out by some passive fan...and I know this b/c he was a member of the official board (which you know I mod)...he won it...bragged about it...and then just disappeared. Stopped posting altogether. Some fan he was.

I have two test presses and the highest I paid for one was like 25 maybe? I guess no one likes Joan of Arc.

Dude, someone is selling a Made Believe 7" in the trade section. I don't know if you have it or want it or not, but I thought I would mention it.

Thanks for letting me know, but I already have it. Also Mike Kinsella isn't in Make Believe ;)

But I do appreciate you informing me!
