I shared this on another thread but seems relevant here too!
Well, this is really cool.
Back in January, I ordered Muriel Grossmann's "Birth Of The Mystery" from Bandcamp. When it arrived it was really filthy, with lots of fingerprints, slightly warped, and what I initially thought were scratches over the record itself. I popped a message over to James at Passerine Records to explain the situation and he offered to send a replacement. I cleaned the record up and it actually came out ok and played with no real issues, so I messaged him back to explain and said there was no need to send another (small label, from the States, etc).
He came back thanking me and said once he finished moving house he would dig out something extra special to send as a thank you. Today, a package arrived with a note. Initially, they managed to secure Kevin Gray to cut "Birth Of The Mystery", which he did. They pressed 5 test pressings and gave them to the band and label, but there was a single tick on one of the tracks so it got rejected. They then used a different engineer as Kevin was no longer available.
So here we have 1 of 5 test pressings cut by Gray of Grossmann's album. Very cool.
