This one is for all you vinyl collectors!

Last week we did a little Autumn cleaning and went through a few boxes of test pressings. Collectively, we decided that it’d be way better that fans have them than them sitting in boxes in our office. With that being said, the test pressings for the albums listed below are up for auction on our eBay!

There’s more though. ALL of the proceeds from the Big D and the Kids Table Fluent In Stroll auction are going to Dave McWane to help cover the cost of his medical bills associated with his fight against throat cancer. Also, a portion of the proceeds from all the other auctions will be going to Dave as well. 

Here’s a list of all the test pressings that we have up for auction:

7 Seconds-Take It Back Take It Over
Audra Mae-The Happiest Lamb
Broadway Calls-Be All You Can’t Be
Big D and the Kids Table-Fluent In Stroll
The Casualties-We Are All We Have

“One night at SideOneDummy Records, I was drinking some beers, shooting the shit, and telling some stories with some friends and these guys from a band. As the night ended, someone in the band said to me, “I wish you could come on the road with us, just to tell us more of your stories.”

The next day I started thinking about what that guy said and decided to take a few minutes and tape one of my stories. At first, I felt weird just gabbing into the microphone by myself. But the more I did, the better the stories came out. So, for the next two weeks I would come in to work early, drink some coffee and just start talking. Four of these stories made it on to a CD called “True Stories and Bad Ideas.”

I ended up giving the CD to all my friends and anyone that I thought would find the stories funny and entertaining. After a while, somebody asked me if I would ever tell the stories “live.” So now, on October 15th at The Key Club in Hollywood, it’s time to sink or swim with “California Calling.”

Check out the five stories from “True Stories and Bad Ideas.” Take a listen, and if you like them, pass them on to someone else you think might dig it and ask them to do the same.”

Thanks!!!
