Rumbleseat test press Hot Water Music Chuck Ragan

$

180

This is a unique item that I picked up at the No Idea vinyl sale at The Fest 6.  For a long time I thought it was simply an unused test pressing for Rumbleseat's only LP, Is Dead.  Recently, I played it and discovered it actually contains two tracks not on the final version of Is Dead.  The tracks are "Walk Through the Dark" and "Untitled (Albert's Spine)".  This peaked my interest so I inspected the vinyl closer noting it has a matrix etching not seen on the regular version.  The A-Side reads, "If Whiskey don't kill me, I'll live till I die" (a line from the song "Rye Whiskey") and the B-Side reads, "2 steps forward 3 steps back, at least I ain't had no heart attack". 

This version of the album was NEVER RELEASED and exists solely in test press form.  That means there may be as few as eight copies of this album.  This may be one of the rarest Hot Water Music/Chuck Ragan/Rumbleseat items ever to exist!  Truly hate to sell this, as I only bought it because I'm a huge Rumbleseat fan.  However, I was recently in a car accident and I need to generate some money...so it goes.

Unlike many of my "Buy it Now" auctions I made this a regular auction for two reasons, 1) I'd like it to go to a true Rumbleseat fan, not just the person who saw it first.  2) As I've never seen one of these for sale I have no idea what it would sell for.

The winner of the auction should pay within 3 days and had the option of paypal or a cashiers check.  For your safety and my convince I do not accept any form of cash.  All items will be packed in vinyl mailers and shipped via USPS media mail, with delivery confirmation.  Priority shipping and delivery and insurance are available for an additional charge.  International buyers may be subject to additional shipping charges. 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

NOTE: bidders with negative, or no feedback, must contact me before bidding or their bid will be canceled.
