What Test Presses do you own?


Recommended Posts

Test presses are like the holy grail to most hardcore collectors it seems, I can take em or leave em usually, but I've managed to get some at a pretty good deal over the years.

Here's what I got:

Tuesday - Freewheelin' LP

Death Wish Kids - 1st 7"

Death Wish Kids - There's Nothing....

Murder City Devils / Glucifer 7"

Murder City Devils - Thelma 10"

Pretty Girls Make Graves - Sub Pop 7"

Pretty Girls Make Graves - Sad Girls 7"

I also have New Order and Joy Division tests, but there were hundreds pressed and most were used as radio station promos.

What all you got?

I don't have too many. The only one I can think of right now is that Doomriders thing Magic Bullet put out a few years back.

I have one of those as well, I forgot all about that since it was something I didn't have to bid or trade for.

I got the Hookers (pre-Murder City Devils) test the same way, the first 20 preorders got one on White.

the only one i've got is the old man gloom - 'christmas' 2LP. HydraHead was selling a limited number of 50 on christmas morning. I remember waking up early and refreshing the page until it showed up.

i remember when deathwish put a whole bunch of test presses up on ebay. i tried to get some of those but the prices went way way up quick.
