Description
If you're looking at this, you probably know what it is. But details:
This is a copy of Third Man Records' first release, the 7-inch single Test Pressing of The Dead Weather's "Hang You From The Heavens," b/w "Are Friends Electric?" TMR-001. It was never sold, only given to those in attendance at the Third Man Records grand opening/first Dead Weather performance.
There were 150 Test Pressings made, all with art that was handmade by the band members. This one seems to have been done by Jack White (judging by the III at the top of one side of the art, shown in the pictures here).
Each 7-inch was hand-etched on each side: On one side, TMR-001-A "GIANT EAGLES...TINY ELEPHANTS," and on the other side, TMR-001-B "WALKING ALL OVER CREATION." My understanding is that Jack White did the etching.
These all came with a unique photo strip of the band, and that's included (and pictured) here. The record has not been played, and it'll be in the white paper sleeve that it originally came in as well.
Obviously, it's all AS IS, but it's been barely handled (and then, handled with much care).
Will be shipped with insurance and confirmation (added on when invoice is sent).
Any questions at all, just ask.
Just to add a few notes/clarify a few things:
I listed this as new because it's never been played. Obviously, as seen in the photos, it's been opened.
This hasn't been professionally graded, I just listed "Mint" again because it hasn't been played. Apologies if that's a screw-up.
Also, just wanted to note: the Polaroid you see in the art is an actual Polaroid affixed to the sleeve.
Any other questions about it, please ask. Did my best to list this accurately, apologies if any of that is unclear.
