Guest kylewilliam Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 got a test and LP, two more tests to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 i have a hard time believing 25 of these haven't sold yet... especially since you could still buy 20 of them in the store if you wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatlinemole Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 i picked up a test and LP... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andinteriors Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 No way there are still some left. I got a test too, are there really only 25? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desensitizedbyu Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 You can still add 23 tests to the cart without getting this: "temporarily out of stock Products marked with temporarily out of stock dont exist in desired quantity in our stock. You can buy them anyway and check the quantity we have in stock for immediate deliver in the checkout process." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebaroness Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 they've definitely sold more than 25... probably making them to order now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

element101 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 definetly no way they have more of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 By my count, at least 11 people have ordered tests on this board. There are 20 available. Just emailed BTV to ask them what's up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kevinb Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Not to mention the cheap price betcha it's /100 also I belive they said they are putting 25 up, although they clearly broke that promise it did'nt say only 25 were pressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
element101 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 i think only 25 were pressed. thats usually how many they do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kevinb Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I dont know this just seems a bit sketchy to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desensitizedbyu Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 There's def. more than 25. There has to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 They probably don't have inventory control in their store. They usually take a few weeks to sell out of tests because they font advertise them anywhere. I bet some of the last people will be getting refunds.

Guest kevinb Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 But at the same time people on this board see this and A $25 test is pretty damn cheap esp for a somewhat well known band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotterson Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 yeah, i ordered a test a few days ago, i hope i dont get a rejection email... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denison witmer was $25, starflyer 59 was $26.59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidamnesiac Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 So...I thought test pressings often have mistakes and imperfections? And that most people bought them only for their collectible-ness? Are most people ordering both the test and the LP? Or do they only sell tests that pass the final quality-control cut and is it enough to just order the test press? *Edit Please don't make me feel like a dumbass for asking this, I've just never had these questions answered proper.

monk0nuggets Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 There are tests and rejected tests. Tests usually sound exactly like the record should, and in theory should sound better than the actually LP release because the plates used to make the records haven't had any wear yet. Rejected tests are when the tests sound bad and they make new ones or new plates then new tests again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Also, tests and rejected tests have the collectability factor like anything else, they are just on average usually harder to get a hold of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidamnesiac Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Thank you sir. I was just trying to figure out what to order because I can afford the test or the LP but not both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
element101 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 yea. there's definetly going to be some rejection letters sent out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Also, keep in mind, the test most likely won't come with a jacket or liner notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Actually, as someone pointed out earlier, Burnt Toast sends out jackets to people who buy the test pressings when they are ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
element101 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 usually they mail you that stuff later. you'll get the test press's when the band gets them. its pretty cool. and then they mail the jacket and everything later when the actually orders ship out. edit: same post. same time. crap. im lame.
