Description

I used to work for Hall or Nothing Music Management as a junior manager. I've been having a clear out of a spare room and came across these (as well as some other stuff from The Horrors - see other listings). 
These are exceptionally rare test pressings of the band's 'Cooking, Cleaning and Flower Arranging - Journal For Plague Lovers Remixes'. When 2 LP set was released officially, it was limited to 300 copies only. If I remember correctly, there were 10 copies of this test pressing about. Being the only person in the office to have a record player at home, I took 5 home to make sure the quality was good. I think the other 5 went to Heavenly Records, who were handling distribution. I sold three on Ebay previously and thought the others were perhaps lost. I've found the other two now. This set is for sale, the other I'm keeping. I also have a spare unopened copy of the official release that I might put up in the future.
There are two 12" vinyl records in plain white sleeves. They both have white stickers in the middle saying 'Side A' on one side and nothing on the other. Someone at the pressing plant has written 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D' in biro on each side to let us know which of the two LP set it was. 
Other than that, the only markings on the records are carves in the groove out of the record. Each side has a different message (I've tried to show a little in a photo, but can't get the light right). They are:
-A- MSP02 'HISTORY IS NOT PROGRESS OR DECLINE... -B- MSP02 ...BUT RECURRING GAIN AND LOSS' -C- MSP02 'CLEANING, COOKING AND FLOWER ARRANGING' -D- MSP02 'JOURNAL FOR PLAGUE LOVERS' - REMIXES
I have listed the record as 'Used' because it has been played once - to test it! Postage costs are a little high because these are valuable - they will need to be packaged well to ensure they are not damaged. If postage and packaging costs less than £7.00, I will be more than happy to refund the difference - I'm not interested in making money in that way.
Happy bidding.
