Tomorrow is the last day to get raffle tickets! I took a personal day from work to pick up the vinyl from Erika Records. It's always a blast driving to Buena Park and coming back with a trunk full of records. I don't think I've ever felt anything like it, the handful of times I've gotten to do it. When I got back and loaded the boxes into my apartment, I decided to start painting the test covers and the fire extinguisher variants. I'm not particularly good at painting, but wh...at I like about test press packaging is the chance to experiment with ways to make it special. Some labels sell them, but that's never sat well with me. These pieces were made for special occasions, and that's why we're raffling them off now. Split EP from gates and Matt Pryor. Two test presses available. 2nd rejected batch. Raffle tickets at overduecollection.com until June 15th, proceeds benefiting communitybailfunds.com. #gatesmusic #vinyl #testpress #testpressing #mattpryor #tguk #thegetupkids

This first set of jackets we received for Ribbons and Sugar were missing an interior panel image in the gatefold. I panicked for a second, but I knew I'd set up the files right. I checked my files again, and the printer had messed up. So I had 1000 incorrect jackets. My printer offered to send me replacements, and said to recycle the rest. So I did that, but I held back 16 jackets for folks who backed the subscriber level on kickstarter. They were getting all the variants any...way, so I thought I might as well provide a subscriber exclusive variant. Ribbons and Sugar, the second album from Gatsbys American Dream. Misprint jacket.

This had a wild ride of test presses. First time I had to reject a test and I had to do it twice. The Gates side of the vinyl had a big scratch that caused a noticeable pop. To make sure it wasn't just dust, they cleaned the stampers and sent me more. Still there. The stamper got scratched apparently, so the pressing plant needed to make a new one. Third time's the charm, and all six of those approved presses went to the artists. Split EP from gates and Matt Pryor. Two test presses available. 1st rejected batch. Raffle tickets at www.overduecollection.com until June 15th, proceeds benefiting www.communitybailfunds.com. #gatesmusic #vinyl #testpress #testpressing #mattpryor #tguk #thegetupkids

I made a zine in 2007 about this EP because Johnny Minardi released it digitally in 2007 for Snakes & Suits. It featured a bunch of ink drawings of dinosaurs that I made, which I used elements of in the final package. The zine itself utilized graph paper, so it felt fun to include that element for the test press. Each one is hand numbered with different elements highlighted. In the Land of Lost Monsters EP from Gatsbys American Dream. Two test presses available. 18/25 and 24/25. Raffle tickets at overduecollection.com until June 15th, proceeds benefiting communitybailfunds.com. #inthelandoflostmonsters #testpress #vinyl #testpressing #thebloodbrothers #gatsbysamericandream Gatsby's American Dream
