MODEST MOUSE - THIS IS A LONG DRIVE... - TEST PRESSING

Description

Modest Mouse "This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About," on Up Records!  Classic 1990's punk/indie album, and still one of the band's best.  2LP Test-Pressing, black vinyl, plain white album jackets.  A handful were pressed - on February 5th, 1996 - as review copies for the individual members of Modest Mouse and their label.  Same mix and master as the original album pressing, unchanged.

*NOTE* There is NO original album art (on jackets or album sleeves) included with this test-pressing! 
                 The cover image, for this auction, is merely being used for instant identification.

This is certainly something I have never/ever seen posted on eBay; an impossibly rare vinyl artifact, the beginning, really, of this Modest Mouse's  journey from sweaty summer tours playing small clubs, to the top of the charts and sold out arena appearances.  Everything has changed, yet so little. 

The condition of these records is "Excellent."  They have been played a few times, but both the vinyl and album jackets look new.

I prefer shipping via UPS (track-able and insured).  But I will respect any particular shipping instruction you may have... Let me know - at the time of payment - and I will do my best to accommodate your wishes.  I promise to take the utmost care in packing, and only use correct/undamaged albums mailers, etc.

Communication is the key here, PLEASE, ask questions before bidding... I will try very hard to answer everyone in a timely manner.
