I've got a test pressing of One King Down, "God Loves, Man Kills."

Black vinyl, white label and white sleeve. Written on the sleeve in sharpie it says "OKD EVR 48."

The record is in mint condition, I played two tracks to figure out what it was.

Selling it for $45 plus actual cost of shipping.

Please let me know if you're interested. Bennett

wow, I wonder what else those who posted way back then have added to their collection!

well, so far I will only have one and that is:

- Seahaven - Ghost (City of Gold) *I don't have it yet... but I'm working on it...

Anyone have any Seahaven RFC tests they wouldn't mind passing over to someone who's trying to complete a collection of their stuff? ;)

Get a hold of Jeff from Run for Cover. He sold me a test for a decent price although it took like 6-7 months to get it.

I've got some.

Fake Problems - Real Ghosts Caught on Tape - black, /4

Fake Problems - Soulless - black /4

Further Seems Forever - How To Start A Fire - hand-screened sleeve, black, 2/13

The Gaslight Anthem - Tumblin' Dice - 7", black, European center hole, /4

The Hold Steady - Milk Crate Mosh - 7", black, different sleeves, 2 discs, 8/10 (the second disc is a rejected test because the plant pressed the wrong b-side, as in, it's a completely different band)

New Found Glory - Tip of the Iceberg - 7", Picture Disc, 8/25

Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends - black, repress, /?

Thursday - Full Colapse - from 1st press, with the original screen printed cover, /7?

They're not something I believe you need to have a complete collection for any band, but they're fun to collecting. And frustrating. LEt's not forget frustrating.

But mainly, I feel that tests are nice bonuses for a collection.
