GradedOnACurve Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Quick question. There are labels that order extra test presses (usually with blank white labels) to send bands on tour with once in a while when the rest of the pressing won't be ready for a bit. So the consensus is that they're tour presses and not test presses? and also Envious of the Minor Threat tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the consensus is that they're tour presses and not test presses? and also I've definitely seen several instances of this in the past. However, I think it was bands pressing their own stuff rather than a label doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the consensus is that they're tour presses and not test presses? and also I'd say they are both. They are a large run test pressing.

However, I think it was bands pressing their own stuff rather than a label doing it. Maybe...but as examples P+P just did this for After The Fall, and Run For Cover is doing it (and has done it) for Captain, We're Sinking, Daytrader, and Coasta to name a few. More labels have done this before. Its a way for labels to help bands by giving them some vinyl for tour to hold them over while the rest of the order is being pressed. I also think with all the vinyl delays happening everywhere this will be more common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swankymodes Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I've got a few Career Suicide records like this. The band just ordered X amount of test presses and did tour editions. I usually list them as tour pressings, not test pressings. Quick question.

@@ron Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I only have one. Just got Gregory Alan Isakov - This Empty Northern Hemisphere. 3/10. I really love this album and I hadn't bought it on vinyl yet. Just cause i'm interested... do most of you who have a test press of whatever album have a regular pressing of it as well? Or is just having the test press enough. Cause i've been contemplating ordering a regular one of this album, mostly to have the jacket i suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
