THIS IS A WHITE LABEL TEST PRESSING ON NO IDEA RECORDS OF AGAINST ME!'s ALBUM "REINVENTING AXL ROSE"... NO RESERVE!!!
I have no idea how many copies exist of this in the world, and I am quite baffled as to how I just found this in my record collection, but you can bet your bottom dollar it's gonna be pretty rare!!!
The first 10 seconds of the first track is all that has ever been played, and that was just now to find out what it was! So this is basically in mint condition, and can only get more valuable over time. Track listing is as the proper album.

*NEW INFORMATION - After many enquiries I have played the album through in its entirety once. It is all perfect EXCEPT - the last track on side B ("when you sleep...") starts and finishes with a kind of "hum" noise... but from what I can tell, when the song is actually playing the hum is not in the background or anything. Once the song is over, the hum outro's the album for exactly 16 seconds.
I have enquired with the label that released this album, and they said :
"We made three different rounds of tests for the AGAINST ME! LP. The first couple were bad. You have one of the bad ones. Look at the inscription. It should say "re-1" or something like that if it is one of the later tests. If not, and it has a hum, then it is probably the first attempt. There were probably 8 - 20 tests made each time"
This one does not say "re-1" on it anywhere, just NIR129-A and NIR129-B (on each side) which means this must be the the FIRST ATTEMPT of which there are roughly 8 to 20 in the world. I guess you could say that was pretty rare.
He also said there was a one sided test pressing - this is not it. And that the third test pressing was the one used for the final album. This is also not it.
