So happy this was a TP and not exclusive music so I don't have to mortgage the house! So much new stuff coming out every time I stop in here I'm happy I've got so much help keeping up with it all.

I got a reply from Lance at Permanent who said he asked Ty about leftover test pressings and is all out. Someone else said they'd ask for me as well, fingers crossed he comes across some extra copies.

I would vote for us to use the term "white label promo" or WLP for stuff like this. As far as I am concerned, if there are more than 5 or 10 copies made and especially if they are sold at a retail venue, they are not test pressings.

Yeah, as i mentioned in SXSW thread, my friend who tried to buy a copy for me but it was sold out, asked and was told there were 40 sold that night..

It doesn't have a white label or say promo. The record has a URP TEST PRESSING label. You can call it what you like, but I'll call it what it says....

I'm mostly bummed that people were able to score a new and super limited Ty single for only $5, such a bargain.

True... But you'll be able to get the real single eventually. Although it won't be a test press. I guess the thing I'm holding on to is that it's a test press

and hey! If it's drag city... Maybe they'll repress the test press

Your mistake, I guess. A test pressing has a purpose, a real meaning to people who collect records and is a real thing. URP sticking a different label on something means nothing. It's similar to the green label Sympathy test presses and the white label ones. I'm not saying it isn't a cool thing to own, or that they are not worth more money than a regular release, but I am saying they are NOT test pressings.

No tp's tonight didn't even see a poster. It was a killer show though the sound sucked and the I could barely hear Ty's vocals.

Okay, I'm gonna be another voice shouting against the wind.

Of course these are test pressings. Whether they pressed 10 for the band + label, or that number plus 30 more so Ty had something special to sell at the show, the quantity pressed doesn't matter. The ones they sold at the show are the same exact text pressings Drag City ordered from URP for themselves and the band.

I hear you, but if I drive my Big Wheel on the freeway, does that make it an automobile? They are the same pressings and have the same vibes in the grooves, but they just aren't test pressings. Promotional items? Giveaway? FIRST pressings? I'm open to that, but I feel there needs to be an old school definition of test pressings, lest the kids of today forget.

So, if they are of COURSE test pressings, define test pressing for me.
