Description

I actually didn't even know I had these until just now.  It's the original test pressings from the first pressing of "the Glow pt. 2" by the Microphones.  I think it was originally pressed at United Record Pressing.  Those look like their old test pressing labels.  They are dated 8/2/01.  The record came out about a month later.  2xLP, sides A/B and sides C/D.  They come inside one of the original jackets from that first pressing, not the later tip-on heavy gatefold ones. 

This was released in 2001 by K Records as KLP133.  Later it was reissued under different catalog numbers and record labels, but this is the very first one. 

Usually they make about 5 test pressings.  This would be one of those 5 sets.  Very rare, obviously.  If you collect test pressings you might know more about why these would be interesting or valuable. 

I bet it's been played not more than 2 times ever, and then it's been sitting in my archives for 20 years. 

Update:  Yeah, this was listed before and the price got high.  The person who won it flaked out and didn't pay me.  Here it is listed again. This is the last one for really real.

thank you,
Phil Elverum
