Rare Soundgarden Fopp EP (SubPop 1988) Double 12″ Acetate

By naidoo | Published 11/30/2011

ryebread is selling a rare 12″ acetate of Soudgarden’s EP Fopp. Fopp was originally released in 1988 on Subpop and was limited to 3000 copies. It features 2 covers (Fopp/Ohio Player, Swallow My Pride/Green River) one Soundgarden original Kingdom of Come and a remix of Fopp. The asking price for these acetates is quite steep. But when you consider how rare it is to find one you might want to crack open the PayPal account. I just got a copy of Fopp still in the shrink from Long In The Tooth Records in Philadelphia.

I Can’t Help It.

Bet you thought I forgot to finish up Test Press Tuesday today the way so many people forgot how awesome Michael Jackson was up to and including Bad, didn’t you? Well no sir, I did not. We’ve got one more for you, and based off my lame comparison (which I know was cheesy, but you should know by now that I can’t help it*), it should be no surprise what it is: yup, we’ve got an Off The Wall era Michael Jackson test press to close out Test Press Tuesday.

*- That’s right, I snuck another terrible pun in there. I’m smooth like that.

England’s Dreaming

Got a cool £15k to blow? Might as well spend it on this Sex Pistols acetate if you do… I’m guessing this will never come up for sale again. It’s amazing to me how all of these hopelessly rare records have come out of the woodwork via ebay in the past few years, I can only imagine what else is out there. Curious to see what this ends for — currently at £14,000 with just under four hours to go.

And for those with more refined tastes in $10,000+ vinyl, here’s a nice buy-it-now on an original God Save The Queen on A&M. Crazy to see both of these up at the same time.

Polar Bear Club Acetate

A few months back, B9 had an awesome promotion. They were putting together mystery packages for people to buy. It was a flat cost and the package could contain ANYTHING from the b9 catalog (or office space, likely). Some people got cds, tshirts, records. Others got test presses and limited edition vinyl. buckywunderlick got an acetate! Not too shabby. This one is for Polar Bear Club’s Drifting Thing Remix EP. Pretty cool collector piece. This one appears to be the a-side. Still cheap too.

Pay To Cum ACETATE (!!!)

By cooch | Published 11/21/2010

Yowza! Looks like we have a little fund raising drive going on over at xuttermoshx, and Aram has decided to cut loose a HUGE one from his collection…

As mentioned in the auction, has anyone ever actually seen a test press of Pay To Cum? It’s possible they weren’t made, and these reference acetates were used instead, which would indeed make this the crown jewel of your Bad Brains collection. I remember one of these being sold back in the early days of ebay (early 2000′s or so) and it went for a fraction of the price of a current Pay To Cum with sleeve, so it’s possible that there is more than one out there, unless this one came full circle and is the same copy. But based on lineage/provenance mention in the auction description, I don’t think it’s the same copy. So at most, there could be two copies out there, but I doubt you’re ever going to see one again, so if your cheddar is stacked high enough you might want to drop a serious bid here.

I’m Back…

Unfortunantly I took most of August off from posting here, but the Noize Crew is more than strong, capable & large enough to get by without me. Either way I’m back and ready to get back into the thick of things!

I spent about 14 hours last Sunday in Revere, MA at Club Lido for the Gallery East Reunion Show which was FULL of high points and had very few low points.

One thing that could be either a high point or a low point depending how you want to look at it was when Chris Doherty puked on the stage. It wasnt a full on heaving vomit, but it was still something. Another personal high point (as silly as it is) was just hanging out backstage watching, once again, Chris Doherty pumping a keg and getting really pissed that it was so foamy. And now with that I bring you 2 GangGreen records that I have never seen in person….

1. Taang! Records #1 the ‘Sold Out’ 7″ on clear vinyl with the clear acetate sleeve limited and numbered to only 100 copies!

2. a Roadrunner Records re-release of ‘You Got It’ and ‘Older… Budweiser’ as a double LP.

Two cool records at both ends of the price spectum depending how deep your pockets are!
