If anyone has a S/T with a model # that matched that test, please let me know. I will try and make some video updates as I get more information. This was a long one, I hope you liked it. Thanks.
P.s. youtube's time limit on videos is 10:00. How's that for internal clock timing? That was totally by accident.

Hi, Joey I. here. I worked for Blackout! when this record came out. Here's the facts. The records were pressed at Erica. 10 test pressing were made with yellow Erica Records Inc. labels. The band got 5 copies (one for each member),and the Blackout! staff got the rest. I still have mine. There were no other test pressing made by Blackout!. Looks like you got some European boot test press (as far as I know there was no European Vinyl pressing - if there was - we never got 'em.) The only time Blackout! ever rejected a test pressing was for Sheer Terror's "Just Can't Hate Enough" LP, which was too bassy/muddy sounding and the plates were recut. So look out for that one (I still have mine too!). Come to the WFMU record fair this October in NYC and I'll show 'em to ya. Good luck and happy hunting. Joey I. (Look for my name in the thanks list on H20's Thicker than Water LP)
Erica gotcha. Thanks. Actually just got an email from Bill, he was saying he licensed Coretex records to do a pressing for the last euro tour. I'm going to send an email off to those scary german guys and see what I come up with. Thanks!
I've been collecting Records since the mid 90s. I mainly stick to NYHC an LIHC. Wreck-age and Exit Test Presses, if you got them, get in touch. Nick AT limitedpressing DOT com
