rhg5010 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I bought a bunch of 45s and a few test pessings cheap off some really cool guy in delaware. He used to be a DJ in the early 80s, so if there's any promo records from that tme period that your looking for, I probably have them. Everythings in awesome condition. Here's the test pressings, and I'm just wondering what you guys think would be worth selling. In other words, would any of you potentially be interested in buying them -Styx - Mr. Roboto -Tommy Shaw - Girls With Guns -Sting - ...Set Them Free (remix) -Screaming Blue Messiahs - Flintstone -Supertramp - My Kind of Lady -Stevie Wonder - Part Time Lover -Kool and the Gang - Misled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troymess Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I think owning that Styx - Mr. Roboto test pressing would be fun to have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclz Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 hey, you got any old clash promos pre- cut the crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flood Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 older test presses of mainstream releases arent that valuable.. since most had multiple presses, and multiple sets of plates and tests... its not like newer LPs which arent a dominant format, which only have a handful of tests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epheron Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Test pressings were also used as promo copies. A few of them may net you a few bucks because of idiots who think it would be "cool" to have a test pressing of one dumbass record or another, but mostly those are junk.

mybabyxsmokes Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 just wondering if theres any replacements records in the set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhg5010 Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 Nah most of these are hits, like radio singles. They belonged o a radio station. The closest thing I have to the Replacements and the Clash would be the Ramones. And I know test pressings were more common back then, but I also know that a test pressing is always the minority when your talking about different versions of a single record. I don't expect anything like the NMB This Is Satire TP auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
