Test pressings

Hi, I have 3 12' test pressings.....

True Faith 'pink label' including uncut test sleeve for the 12', Fine Time & Touched.

They are all unplayed and mint

What prices can they expect to fetch?

Thanks Scott

Are you offering for sale or looking for values?

Don't know what all the fuss is with em, they are a test, surely the proper ones are better?

I disagree. To me, test pressings are better because: they are limited in quantity produced; and they are the first copies made from the stamper, which wears in time, thus the grooves are deeper and sound quality is better.

I stand corrected :)

Ta!

Hi guys, Thanks for the replies. I know they are very rare but unsure of prices???

Feel free to mail me at scott_pd@yahoo.co.uk with offers & if I think an offer is good enough ill accept.

I'm off to see Depeche Mode in New York next month so the proceeds will be very helpful!

I can also provide high quality pics if required.

Ok, ive just put them up on ebay. Pics are included too.

For the non-ebayers out there feel free to make an offer to me at scott_pd@yahoo.co.uk

I will accept Paypal for overseas guys, UK cash, cheque, or PO.

Cheers again Sc.

I have no idea what they're really worth, but I'd never be prepared to pay that kind of money. Guess I'm not a real collector then.

not cheap, but probably the right money. i'm going to stick to collecting the actual releases for now.

I doubt whether they'll fetch the asking price, but I could be wrong...

Ah well, best of luck!

Couple of hours to go...
