4th day of Xmas - VC Test Pressings Sale

[Guest Admin]

I had mentioned that on one of our 12 days of Christmas, we would be posting a bunch of test pressings at set prices. You might wonder how I came up with the prices that are listed. The price was calculated based on the the ending price on each respective Ebay auction, the number of test pressings made, and the number of test pressings we have left. Records like the Avail test pressings, I only have a few left after giving each band member 1, selling one on ebay, and the one allotted for the VC test pressing contest. I should note that all of the test pressings are hand numbered with artist, title, and number out of the edition. All are packaged in a dust sleeve, but the Minus the Bear test pressings and the Kay Kay double LP test pressing all have special edition jackets (the MTB tests have a unique painting by Vinnie Fasano).

For most of the test pressings listed below, there will be either 1 or 2 test pressings up for sale. The exceptions include the 2 coop releases (The Falcon and Jealous Sound) and the Delicious Vinyl. For those curious, sales of the coop test pressings will go back into the coop balance, the sale of the Tim Barry live at Munford Elementary test will go towards the school’s music program, and all the other revenue made from test pressings will go towards overhead, pressing costs (past and future), and my dream of having a fridge stocked full of 40 ounce bottles of malt liquor.

There might be some griping over some of the prices, but think for a minute the value of other pieces of art where only 5, 10, or 20 copies were ever made. Test Pressings are not meant for mass consumption and are not meant for everyone, but when you are a super fan of an artist/release, there is no better collectible than a test pressing. I wish you lots of luck being up at the time these go live if you are interested on any of these.

way happy, too bad it's a shitload of money, hope my dad won't be mad..

[nefariousfig]

I'm tempted to buy some stuff, but there's nothing that I really want and thus I might as well leave them for bigger fans.

[rhythmgtr5]

fuck yeah, both kay kays and portugal! i'm so fuckin' happy right now!

congrats on the portugal; how much was it sold for?

[andy]

i snagged a falcon test press

and won the fake problems/look mexico on ebay

[travis]

I dunno if it was a good idea or not but I went back and picked up the other 3 ETID tests so now I have all 4. I guess Merry Christmas to me. Really going to have to hold back on my vinyl purchases for quite a while now.

[hookups96]

[cosmonaut]

That's the first one I looked at. I also don't have the $125.

[geezfools]

Grabbed the fp/lm test! Just need a gasp asp test and I'll be complete for look Mexico!

Thanks Virgil, this rules!

[suburbanargyle]

I got an Avail - 4AM Friday. I had all 3 of them in my cart but decided to hold it back a little. 4AM Friday is my favorite album of theirs, and it has such a good live set tacked on to it.

[mikeyjunior]

fuck yeah, both kay kays and portugal! i'm so fuckin' happy right now!

congrats on the portugal; how much was it sold for?

[murgorgoroth]

That actually goes toward both my Look Mexico and Fake Problems collections.
