Recurring Test Press LP
Posted: Tue Jul 03, 2012 2:14 pm
Hi. 1st post on here.
Was wondering if any one could help me with any more info on this.
I won this Spacemen 3 - Recurring Test Press LP off ebay a couple of days ago for what I consider an absurdly cheap price (under £40). As a record collector I'm well aware that Test Presses rarely exceed maybe 15 copies so I was in two minds as to had I picked up an absolute class bargain or was it a fake/boot and that's why it didn't get bidded up quite so much.
Running through a few details and it seems to check up correct, the seller I bought it off, based in Oxford, was selling a Charlatans 12" EP / Single Test Press and another test press record at the same time and scrolling through his previous transactions he had been selling furniture out of Rugby.
It only has this written on the A side Label. The B Side is blank.
And it has the FIRE LP 23 A and B catalogue number on the etching on both sides.
I've listened through it a few times now and it all seems fine, tracks seem all the right length and the sound is great.
