Aych · July 13, 2012

Just read through the entire thread (twice?!). Test presses are pretty neat, but like a bunch of other people mentioned, not the best thing in the world. I look at them more as something for serious collectors rather than the average fan.

That being said, I did receive a test press of Spaces' new LP from Walk-In Records the other day. It was packed behind the regular record, and came with a little note of congratulations. Very unexpected, and really cool!

(By the way, the album is great, look into it if you've never heard of them before.)

opivy · July 13, 2012

Here are a few of my favorites:

American Nightmare: "S/T"
