jacobe Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakland Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

altarsofradness Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 i own none. smaller labels like robotic empire and level plane have been known to auction these off from time to time, but in all honesty, im not sure i see the appeal here.
