Test pressings and hello

jeremyslawsky · Post by **jeremyslawsky** » Tue Jan 31, 2012 8:31 pm

Hello, this is my first post so I wanted to start off by selling hi! Sorry if this has been discussed before but I wanted to ask what everyone knew about the test pressings of the 7 inchers. I picked up test pressings of both "the big three killed my baby" as well as "hello operator". Both are from Sympathy for the Record Industry. Anyone out there have any info on these? Also is there a particular place on the forums here for buying/selling?

thanks
Jeremy

Jeremy, those are quite the finds you have there. Protect them with your life. However, as we say around here, pics or they don't exist.

Are they original SFTRI pressings or Rainbo pressings. Rainbo rare but not in TP terms ~$300. SFTRI real rare stuff, name your price and go from there.

Both say SFTRI but rainbo has an -R after. Big difference in price.

All things of value should be bought / sold through some goof named Grim...

The top one, priceless..
The bottom, lots out there... $300 item or so. There is belief that someone at Rainbo pressed up 100 or more of them and took home to surface later.

I've considered collecting test pressings but just haven't gone there... maybe one day.
