plasma36 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I don't collect test presses, the only ones I own have full artwork and were the same price as the standard version. I view test presses as more expensive variants with (often) no artwork, so I don't bother with them. That said, I do have three: 7" Night Owls - EP 16/40 [got it at one of their last shows, rejected test press with an alternate cover] 12" The Austerity Program - "Backsliders and Apostates Will Burn" 30/40 [picked it up at Generation Records, includes full packaging and was standard price] The Explosion - "Black Tape" 246/300 [the label says this is a "limited test press" but there are 300 copies of it so whatever] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I do have three: I actually enjoy either making artwork for mine or having custom artwork made. A few actually have covers already but I still need to stop being lazy and fix up the few that don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sciencekiller Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'm in the process of buying my first ones now. Never really had an interest, but jokingly asked a label when placing an order and now we are working out a deal. I'm just curious how everyone gets theirs. Is it a matter of knowing contacts at the band or the label and simply asking with each new release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
000000 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 won a test press of ETID - "Last Night In Town" from back in the early VC days, but sold it on here 'cause I didn't really listen to that album much. now if it was a test for "Hot Damn", there's another story.

Walk Through The Darkness (between Picker and Jackson) and Sweetheart (between Chattanooga Bend and Sea Of Heartbreak). Walk Through The Darkness was on the California Burritos 7" and I'm not sure if Sweetheart was on anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
