Green Day vinyl test pressing
Today, we're featuring a number of vinyl test pressings. These are the first records that are pressed for a release, before the full round of vinyl pressings. Test pressings are fairly rare, and I've personally only seen a few for the new trilogy albums. We have two for Green Day (¡Uno! and ¡Dos!), and four for Pinhead Gunpowder (Compulsive Disclosure, Goodbye Ellston Avenue, Shoot The Moon, and Jump Salty), a sort of side-project band for Billie Joe that most of you are probably familiar with.
The Green Day pressings are both auctions, one beginning at $150 (...I know, but we wanted to include it anyway), and the other beginning at a more reasonable $30. The Pinhead Gunpowder records are all being sold in Buy-It-Now auctions for $60. Click the pictures to check them out!
