50

Artist: Pixies Title: Planet of Sound - Test Pressing Year: 1991 Label: 4AD Number of Tracks: 4 Condition (Vinyl): 7/10 (several surface marks and a few light scratches but plays perfectly) Condition (Sleeve): NA (issued in plain white sleeve) Notes: This is an extremely rare test pressing of the Pixies single "Planet of Sound" released by 4AD back in 1991. It comes in a plain white sleeve and the labels are also plain white, but feature the words "Pixies Planet of Sound" handwritten in pencil on both sides. It's catalog number BAD 1008 and the run out groove on Side A is "BAD 1008 A1" while on Side B it's "BAD 1008 B1). A very tough to find, extremely cool Pixies collectible.

I'm currently selling lots of vinyl - please check out my other auctions and save with combined shipping!!


Condition/Grading

I grade both the media itself and the package/artwork separately. Each gets a grade from 1-10, with 10 being the best condition and 1 the worst. A new, unplayed record or CD will get a 10. A record or CD that's been played but is still in mint condition will get a 9. Things go down progressively from there. If there is a notable flaw, I will reference it after the number grade. I have given up on letter grading because I found that the definitions were too varied from seller to seller and buyer to buyer and think a number grade will give buyers a little better idea of what to expect.

If you don't agree with them, please don't bid. I do not ship CDs or 7" singles media mail, they always go at least first class. I can upgrade any domestic purchase to Priority Mail for an additional charge. All non-US winners get their items shipped via USPS First Class International Mail. The additional per item charge in this table is generally good for 4 or 5 items. If you buy more than that, the rate will go down further even further; send me a message for specific info. Also, unlike a lot of other sellers, I generally count double releases (those with two 7"s singles in a gatefold sleeve, two CDs in a single jewel case or double vinyl LPs) as just one item, but if it's a particularly lavish release (with posters, booklets and such, even if it's just a single disc) there may be an additional postage charge.
