18/12/2011: T&M website e-Bay charity auction update
2ND & LAST PRODUCT SUPPLY 7" TEST PRESSING
SELLS FOR £142-00
To augment our charity label Time & Matter Recordings, in which we raise money for charitable causes personally chosen by Charlie Harper, the website admins opened an e-Bay auction account to sell items for 'Charlie's Charitable Cause'.
We will be selling one rare item at a time, but from time to time we will also auction off other U.K. Subs material such as posters, CDs, vinyl and various ephemera.
Our seventh auction ended today, our second and final copy of the two test pressing white labels we had, and sold for £142-00, attracting 10 bids.
See screen-shot below (click to enlarge):
This test pressing for our recently sold out 'Product Supply' 7" single, was one of only five copies and instead of the normal white vinyl 7" release in picture sleeve, the white label test pressing package is on BLACK VINYL and comes with an unglued/uncut 'proof sleeve, a double sided insert, an A4 release information sheet plus a promo laser-labelled CD version of all three tracks. See the image to the right - click to enlarge.
In short, this is an incredibly RARE Subs collectors' item.
