Description

SUNN "Grimm Robes" original test pressing of 2 LP set on white discs, #14/15

condition= unplayed

I don't think I need to tell you about SUNN, I'm sure you know the deal. Slow, painfully slow plodding notes that seem to go nowhere but always end up somewhere. I once told O'Malley I thought he had managed to capture a feeling with this music that I wasn't quite sure how to describe... like a soundtrack to walking through the outer/inner/endless space in your mind while having a harsh overdose on K or something, or maybe it's more like a soundtrack to a walk through a beautiful field to some.. guess it depends on your mood eh?

This is a test pressing of the original 2 LP set of this release that came out a few years back now and sold out instantly. I had kept some copies for my collection, and this one was going to be for a trade that never materialized, and so it's being sold off now. The whole story on this release is here, and a photo gallery of the process is over here:

There were only 15 test pressing sets made, they all were blank white discs with a blue line on them, and housed in two black jackets that were held together by a black band that has the pentagram seal. There is a stiker on the front of the LP sleeve that has the # on it along with tracks/etc. This sticker looks like we cut the edge a little jagged, but that's how it was made, it's not a flaw from handling. Overall, totally mint, unplayed.

I've been collecting vinyl for a LONG time,and I gotta say, next to the MISFITS collectors, I've never seen people as rabid and dedicated as the SUNN fans seem to be. This stuff seems to be SOOO in demand, and once it's gone into collections many seem to hold onto them with death grips!! And that said, I'm going to make this auction private so that the winner can not have to worry about being asked if he/she want to trade/sell it after it closes. If they want to do that I'm sure they'll let ya know. So this is it, hope it finds a good home!

Anyways, enough rambling- check back on what else I'm selling now and later... the record collection is getting thinned out, my lady and I are gettin' hitched and moving down south, so this stuff has to keep moving! Some good stuff will be listed this week. A collection of PUSHEAD stuff I got while in his fanclub or whatever is going up, and more more more... it never seems to end!

Since my auctions start throughout the day, please note closing times vary. If you haven't already, I recommend you check out some of the free 'bid sniping' programs out there. I use them for buying and it's a great way to not forget to bid on autions!

Shipping & Handling

Please read the following before you bid! I know it's a lot, but it's important!

THE MOST IMPORTANT: If you win, PLEASE wait to get an winning bid email from me with SHIPPING AND HANDLING TOTAL before sending any payment! Please do not just send a Paypal payment without getting a total from me! It will delay the process if you just "make up" postage amount and send it in, so please don't! You can use the PAY NOW or CHECKOUT after you have info from me on how much shipping is. I can't have a "flat rate" shipping, because it is different for every order. Thanks so much!

Payments can by made by MONEY ORDER, BIDPAY, US $'s CASH (at your own risk if not registered) or PAYPAL. Shipping/Handling for orders is determined on a per order basis. A shipping & handling discount is given if paying by MONEY ORDER or CASH.

Payment due within 7 days of auction closing or appropriate feedback will be left and ebay notified via non-paying bidder notice. Please communicate and let me know what's going on with your purchase, and I will do the same.

Everything will be shipped by USPS, but now that they charge by zone s/h must be calculated at end of auction. You can choose from MEDIA/regular 1st or PRIORITY mail in the US, or by AIR or SEA to rest of world. Estimates can be made, please email with any questions. I only charge for s/h costs incurred in handling your order. I make every effort to be an efficient shipper, and will get your stuff out to you within a few days of payment being recieved. I also buy a lot on ebay, and know how annoying it is to wait- so I will be fast as I can! I have been buying/selling on ebay for over 5 years, so please bid with confidence!

Thanks so much for taking the time to check out this auction, see my other items for many other rare items. A 30 year stockade of collectibles is being sorted through slowly but surely, and many great things will go up for auction so keep your eyes peeled!

ESTIMATED POSTAGE CHART:

This is an ESTIMATED chart for postage of for this particular double LP set based on the new postage rates as of 2006. Please do not use it to send payment, it is only so you can have an idea of what it will cost instead of asking for each auction! I will send you final cost when auction closes. If you just use this to make up postage I will have to refund payment and it will delay order. Thanks!

On Mar-05-06 at 09:53:05 PST, seller added the following information:

One thing I forgot to mention is that the test pressing sets are 3 sided, meaning the fourth side is blank- which is the way the release was originally planned.... as you may know on the actual picture disc pressings there was a 4th side but it was destroyed with a knife on most copies. So on these tests, there are no grooves on the 4th side.
