nihac Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 We at Arctic Rodeo normally do not sell test pressings. After having done this once or twice in the past – at normal prices after people had asked us for a copy for their personal record collection – and realizing that it does not feel right to make money by selling a white labeled record which is actually not made for being sold, we stopped doing this and have never done it again. We have been asked for test pressings very often during the past years, and people offered us a lot of money which we did not accept. You may now please spend your money for purchasing those test pressings for a good cause. We are even kindly asking you to do so and support our idea. Intending to raise money for typhoon victims in the Philippines, we have started charity auctions at ebay where we are selling vinyl test pressings of several records we have released on Arctic Rodeo. We will donate all profit we will make with these auctions.The first auctions have started yesterday, more will be added later today. We are offering test pressings of records from artists such as Ox, Walter Schreifels (Youth Of Today, Gorilla Biscuits, Quicksand, Rival Schools, Walking Concert), Southerly, Jonathan Inc., I Is Another (feat. members of Rival Schools, Burn, Die 116, Far, New End Original, Onelinedrawing, Gratitude), Far, Adam Rubenstein (Split Lip, Chamberlain), I Hate Our Freedom (feat. members of Garrison, Texas Is The Reason, Thursday), Juta, Walking Concert (feat. members of Quicksand, Rival Schools, Bold), Burning Airlines (feat. members of Office Of Future Plans, Jawbox, Channels), Ian Love (Rival Schools, Burn, Die 116, I Is Another), Horace Pinker, Solea (feat. members of Texas Is The Reason, Samiam), Vs.Rome, Atlantic/Pacific (feat. members of Texas Is The Reason, House & Parish, Solea), Retisonic (feat. members of Bluetip, Swiz, Red Hare, Sweetbelly Freakdown, Garden Variety, J Majesty, Vs.Antelope), Vs.Antelope (feat. members of Texas Is The Reason, J Majesty, Retisonic), Matt Pryor (The Get Up Kids, The New Amsterdams), Jonah Matranga (Far, New End Original, Onelinedrawing, Gratitude, I Is Another), Ari Hest, Kevin Devine, Max & Laura Braun, Chamberlain, God Fires Man (feat. members of Bad Trip, Mind Over Matter, Bold, Into Another, Garrison, Errortype:11), Hoch/Tief, Dear Lions (feat. Members of Split Lip, Chamberlain), Office Of Future Plans (feat. members of Burning Airlines, Jawbox, Channels, Kerosene 454), Skeleton Key and Baja.Please support and help us by spreading the word, making a bid, posting the news, whatever you are able to do.
