When the stars align, we are able to get the Ok from some really rad labels to offer one lucky person a copy of a release in test pressing format. This usually happens as part of our test pressing contests where you are entered to win after you place an order for that particular release. The labels that participate are very generous as many of these test pressings are incredibly limited (some are as limited as 1 of 5 ever made) and would likely fetch a small fortune on Ebay. We announce new contests from time to time on our message board and in our blog, but I will try to update this page with an ongoing list of what releases are participating in our Test Pressing Contests. This page will also serve as a list of the winners of past Test Pressing Contests. Good luck everyone!
