that just made my heart hurt. why didn't that pressing actually happen?

 

Another one just sold on ebay a couple days ago actually: http://www.ebay.com/itm/300899843909?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

 

Burton from Blue Collar wrote in the item description:

 

 

You read the title correctly, this is Limbeck's "Let Me Come Home" - a test pressing for an album that was never released on vinyl. 

A little back story, in 2005 our merch company was doing a lot of work with Limbeck and our imprint Vinyl Nerd had put out a couple 7"s. We talked with the band and everyone agreed that we would put out "Let Me Come Home" on vinyl with special screen printed covers and lots of variants. Things got far enough along that we spent the money to get not one, but two sets of test presses done, 8 copies in each set. The first 8 copies had a minor defect, a small skip, but enough that we needed a second set pressed. This copy is from the second set of 8 test presses and has no skip. This was actually set to be approved but at the last second there were some differences in opinion as to what everyone wanted the visuals to look like. Both parties agreed to cancel the project outright, and these have sat in my office for the last 8 years in the original UPS boxes. 

In the photos you will see the original paperwork from Erika (sorry that's not included) showing the title as "So Long", which refers to the run out groove etching. We were moving our company from Eudora to Lawrence at the time so the entire etching reads "So long Eudora, it's been a blast."

This copy has been played exactly 1 time and comes in the original white sleeve. Cool story bro.
