-------------------------------------------

I'll get back with my own one's later - can't chose yet ;D

(I'm mostly curious of yours)

[NewtownNeurotic]

Not much in the way of test pressings, got a couple, but no acetates. As for regular issued vinyl...
-Skin Deep Football Violence 7" orig (this really doesn't turn up much)
-Red Alert "Third & Final (aka Borderguards)" 7" orig on Guardian but I still need a PS for it
-Ovaltinees "British Justice" 7" orig on BAA
-White SS "Mercy Killing" 7" (200 only, according to a former band member)
-Samples "Vendetta" 7" mint orig (cheers to Panos for that one)
-Victimize "Baby Buyer" 7" (great b-side, and not bad for $20)
-Mental "Extended Play" 7" orig signed by Dick last year
-Resistance 77 "Thoroughbred Men" LP (saw a copy a few days ago for sale for 60 euros from Regis in France)
-Exit-Stance "Esthetics" 7" (that mystery single by the other band, who seem almost as mysterious as the Porno Cassettes, whose vanishing ebay 7" I am seriously starting to think was a one-off made in someone's garage or some shit. Musically, though, "Esthetics" is sort of lousy goth-rock. But it was $17 from Dr. Strange.)
-Cocksparrer "Running Riot" 7" Portuguese w/ band sleeve
-Nasty Media "Spiked Copy" 7" (waiting on this in the mail, took me a while to track down...love that Lightning punk...)
-Cult Maniax "Black Horse" 7" orig with the title track not scratched out

*Hey anyone have a spare of the first Charge ep "You Get What You Deserve"? Or the first Rikki & the Last Days of Earth 7" (I forget the name but it was a two-track sleeveless promo with red labels given out only at early gigs, limited to 100 I think? I've only ever seen a copy once, but I'm hoping to still score one cheap since, well, that band pretty much sucked.)

Nope, not pissed. When I bought my copy for $100, the eBay listing stated that between 5 and 10 were pressed. Just before Christmas, Nidge emailed me to ask if his copy was worth much as there were only TWO pressed (No Future kept the other copy).

I told him that I knew of two copies already, but he indicated that they MAY (and only may) have been pressed up AFTER the release by somebody in the pressing plant. He did not confirm whether his copy was the same as mine and Jim's, which is scanned and on my website.

By close examination, I know my test pressing came from the same plates as my standard pressing.

[uk82]

---> Lyndon: any news about the p&tttb dj 7"? (amount pressed etc...) I think I know about 6 at the moment (same copies as you've seen I guess except for others you might have seen)

[Lyndon NoFuture]

I've heard that there were 30 pressed. I don't know how true that is, though.

GREAT songs on this !

[NewtownNeurotic]

I hate to admit this, and not my favorite record by far, but technically and possibly my rarest might be (god I hate having to say this) Clit 45 "Your Life to Choose" 7" burgundy/black swirled vinyl, only one copy only according to Dave Punkcore.

Only 100 pressed as some fan club thing, years ago. ACAC, Beer & Fags, XR3 and First Day Angry Song.
Cover is a rip off of blitz Never Surrender. Tracks are very good quality live.
