So you might be wondering why I am only now sharing photos of the test pressings we got done for Minus the Bear’s “Planet of Ice”. You see, I had one friend make silk-screened covers and then I had a friend offer to make a unique painting for each test press. Who was I to say no? I actually presented 6 test pressings to the band last night when they were in Denver and it seemed as though they were absolutely blown away. I really can’t say enough about how nice the guys in Minus the Bear are. I mean, a band at their level could be complete assholes and there are tons of bands nowhere near their level that are. But the guys were so appreciative that we have been doing their vinyl and the truth is, it is such an honor to be a part of such an unbelievable band.

Enough ranting, I took photos of all 20 test pressings to share with you. I do plan on selling 1 or 2 most likely through Ebay, but most of the copies are going to the band, to their management, to Suicide Squeeze and a few are going to my son Logan’s college fund!

A quick desription, the record labels are each hand numbered, the silk-screened jackets are each hand-numbered, and each one comes with a completely unique painting done my good buddy Vinnie Fasano. These turned out so sweet.

here is a better look at the silk-screened jacket
