TFP Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 What is the absolute most you've spent on a Test Pressing? I've got my eyes on a RATHER PRICEY Shpongle Test Press and I'm trying to decide whether or not to pull the trigger... Also, it's a test press for a release that never made the light of day! This is an interesting peril to be in: expensive test of a favorite band - but also never released though.... I would say do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFP Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I pulled the trigger! Just to be clear, the release was not a full album, but was a planned limited release 10" Picture disc that never got made. The test press itself is NOT a picture disc. It's an of/10 as well. This is the release: http://www.discogs.com/Shpongle-Invisible-Man-In-A-Fluorescent-Suit-Nothing-Is-Something-Worth-Doing/release/2346953 I think that is a good decision, now the question remains: how much?, bum bum buuuum...

thechrisformat Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Got my first test press a couple weeks ago from everyone's favorite label. Got TD&A - ...Always Leave the Ground (2/10). Top 10 album of all-time for me, so I was stoked to get it. videogamesandvinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy. Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Want that perma... Sadly, there's nothing too fancy about it. It's literally just a black LP in a paper sleeve. No jacket. No album name. No nothing. Whoever did the release was a lazy butthole. They could have at least written "Perma" on it or something. I was thinking of getting a custom jacket made for it. Maybe something drawn by Sherri & Max? Neither of them have an email listed so I don't know how to go about asking besides tweeting at them which hasn't worked.

spoon Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 ^ nice, I tried reaching out to some friends at SXSW at the time but the tests sold out by the time they saw my message. I only have the one so far of a relatively unknown band (The Longshots S/T acquired on RSD) but it must've been what I needed to get things going because I now have a copy of Moonhearts' S/T and a compilation featuring tracks from the likes of White Fence, Moonhearts and some Burger bands on the way (scored for $10 from discogs) so I'm pretty psyched.

spoon Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 This one here http://www.discogs.com/release/2980401 copies seem to be super cheap in general but I was still surprised to see a test for just $10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
