timpopkid Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I don't understand collecting test pressings. I understand collecting variants, but I was just never into test pressings. That being said I have some. Had a bunch of Snuff ones, though I just sold all the LP tests, still have some of their 7" tests though. I have a RFTC test that I have no earthly idea how I got. I have most (but not all) of the PopKid release test presses. I dunno, just not into them. It's like collecting promo cds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtz Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I don't actively seek out test presses, but I have ended up with two. Compound Red/Sidekick Kato - Split 7" (Test Press) - which vinyl junkie threw in one of my orders for free. Waifle/Pg. 99 - Do You Need A Place To Stay 12” (Test Press) #109/150 - which there are 150 of so it's really not all that rare or anything.

mcm1610 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Only for ETID, and that's because I almost fell into 3 of them quickly. Then it stopped, so if anyone wants to unload The Big Dirty test on me, feel free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
