HOBBLEDEHOY RECORDS from Melbourne will be auctioning off a test press every friday on eBay to help raise funds for future releases. Currently up now is the test press for the double LP of THIS WILL DESTROY YOU with releases from Arrows, Braid and more to follow.
Here's what Tom had to say..
Running an independent label means you accumulate a lot of stuff. Now some of this stuff can be pretty cool, so during this period of consolidation I'm running a weekly test-pressing auction with all proceeds going towards helping create new records.
Every Friday for the next 5 weeks, we'll be auctioning one vinyl test-pressing from our recent / upcoming catalog. Each test is limited to just five copies, hand-numbered and very difficult to come by. This is your chance to own a very rare piece of history from some fantastic bands, a true collectible!
So you can plan accordingly, I’ve posted the schedule for what records you can expect here. The first is already up now, THIS WILL DESTROY YOU - Tunnel Blanket and ends this Friday night.
Upcoming Test Press Auctions..
Nov 18: This Will Destroy You – Tunnel Blanket 2xLP (#2/5)
Nov 25: Arrows – Try and Stay Upright LP (#3/5)
Dec 2: Lymbyc Systym – Shutter Release LP (#2/5)
Dec 9: Braid – Closer To Closed 12″ (#2/5)
Dec 16: The Leap Year – With A Little Push… LP (#2/5)
