first arrivals of 2025!!

 

That was my album of the year in 2015. It still holds up!

 

Just a heads up: my birthday is the 13, so if anyone selling vinyl wants to send me a record, I will receive it

 

I bought the first pressing of that album for my best friend years ago when it came out and it was one of those buys where I always pondered why I never bought it for myself. So when I saw the sale for 40% off, I just had to get it this time.

it’s so good! I miss them so much and that record is criminally underrated. I still keep in touch with Mike here and there, Glad to finally have it on vinyl. Still got my compact disc version somewhere, haha!

 

Christmas Haul:

 

The Bled that was up shortly before in the day has already shipped sheesh.

 

got my first test press! huge day for me.

 

I frikin love this album:



And this just arrived from Lunchbox Records today, in perfect condition. Can’t wait to spin it:

 

It’s always special. I own a few and it’s always the best

 

I own test presses of

thirty nights of violence - you’ll see me up there
Haste the day - coward
Hotline tnt - cartwheel

I think that’s it. All 3 are signed

 

I grabbed one of those Thursday test presses from the other day. First one I've ever bought.

 

The only test press I own is The Sidekicks - “So Long Soggy Dog” which is purely sentimental value for me since it’s their first official release.

If anyone happens to know where I can get a test for their Epitaph debut “Runners In The Nerved World”, lemme know!

 

I don’t think I have any interest in a test press of anything.

 

I technically have 2 tests, but 1 was sold as a special Fest variant.

Chris Farren “Like A Gift From God Or Whatever”

Pet Symmetry “Pets Hounds”

I used to have one of Allister’s “Last Stop Suburbia” back when the 8 tests were the only existing vinyl copies of the album. I even had a one-off screen printed jacket made for it. But when the official pressing from Mutant League came out a couple years later, I sold it. Once in a while I check to see if it sold anywhere else since then but no luck.

 

They never pressed TMNT: Mutant Mayhem? Should probably get on that.

 

Fun pick ups today

 

I’ve got a test pressing of We’re All Better Than This by Joie de Vivre that the band gave me after I won a contest and the records they sent me got lost in the mail.

The others I have (Hot Mulligan/Everyone Leaves split and a Beach Slang EP) were what they were selling on tour because the actual records weren’t in yet. The HM one might actually be worth decent money at this point.

 

Don’t get the appeal of test presses but happy for those who’ve got them and enjoy them!

I do have a promo copy for Allister - You Can’t Do That on Vinyl. No idea where I got it haha.

 

I’ve got a test pressing of Petals for Armor signed by Hayley Williams and her grandpa but that’s it

 

Crazy flex

 

I think a few other chorus users have it too! The link was posted on here before it was publicly posted anywhere else

 

My test pressings for every blink album except Nine. My OMT test pressing is on my insta and not pictured here.

 

I just found out that Madison - For the First Time in Years... I'm Leaving You exists as a 10" lathe.

Can't believe last year was 20 years since it came out...

 

do i wanna know how expensive this ended up being
