Lots of test pressings and promo vinyl with presser sheets.

Two will be of interest to the board.
Like to see 'em when you get a chance!
This came with a promo white label tick sheet copy of GEER. It is a hand typed lyric sheet of all of the lyrics for the album. Along with promo clips and press release.

Note the circled words in Stay Free.

Wish GEER had been released when I was still working in a record store, but no such luck. I don't recall the Clash releasing anything during the time I worked there.

Next up is The Jam "Sound Affects". I really wanted a copy of this album so I jumped at the chance to buy a Japanese pressing (heavier vinyl, nifty booklet) when it first came out. I have no idea what the booklet is about, if anybody knows, please post it.

I'm a sucker for eye candy, so I couldn't pass up an opportunity to buy the latest UK Subs 45 rpm back in the day on colored vinyl.
UK Subs 7" 45 rpm "Warhead" with "The Harper & "I'm Waiting For The Man" on the flip side.

Great single that's "Warhead" by the way. ;)

I used to have all the subs singles on coloured vinyl except the 'She's Not There" single.

Thanks, you are correct sir, all I had to do was to take a look at the sleeve, too lazy for my own good.

Anybody remember Flexipop magazine? I wish I'd saved all of mine, this is the only one I can locate.
Not vinyl, more like very thin plastic, buy hey, it plays on a turntable.

I no longer have this, but in a Mad Special there was a flexi-disc that had multiple grooves so that you would get one of eight different endings to the song. As a ten year old, this was supremely awesome.

I've never seen one of those, but then again, my parents didn't think too highly of Mad magazine, so I didn't get too many copies of it. I think I got my own compact turntable with speakers (aka record player) when I was around 10 or 11 and yes, anything like this would have been a prized collection, right up there with the Cheech & Chong stuff from a friend of mines older siblings we used to sneak over to my house to listen to.

An old classmate post his shit on Instagram, lots of rare international pressings with weird album covers.

Lots of metal but some cool stuff for sure. Case in point.
