A HWM Test Press Called Ann Beretta?

By b. murphy | Published 05/24/2011

Apparently, mademshelly is a rabid Hot Water Music fan. You can tell from the description. You can also tell from the title of the auction.

Hot Water Music – Ann Beretta TEST PRESS – RARE! 1/20

Thing is, there is a tiny, tiny, tiny HWM connection. Chuck Ragan “made a guest appearance singing backing vocals on a track from this release.” That’s fucking tiny. That’s like me selling a Brian Murphy – Hatebreed Perserverance record, you know? Ok, maybe not that extreme, but damn close. And then, the seller really doesn’t say anything about the record, except that a) it was released in 1997 and b) it’s a german import which apparently makes them “hard to find in the US.” No record label named. But thanks to being an internet sleuth, I have determined that the label is Germany’s Hometown Caravan Records, and that re-release actually came out in 2001. That’d be 4 years after 1997 for those of you counting.

So here’s the thing. If you are an Ann Beretta fan, you should pick this up. If you are a Hot Water Music fan, go listen to HWM.

Hot Water Test Presses.

Seller mademshelly must have been a pretty serious Hot Water Music fan at some point, as not only do they have all sorts of colors and variants of many HWM records, they have an entire fleet of HWM test presses that they are now listing for auction, including 3 tests for pressings of the No Idea Records “Bread: The Edible Napkin” comp. That’s some serious dedication to your collection…

If you’re a HWM fan, be sure to check out all the other auctions, maybe you can fill a hole in your own collection. There’s also a ton of Cure stuff up as well.
