I Have a Special Plan for This World Test Pressing

The Silent One

The Silent One

Obscenely rare test pressing of Current 93's IHASPFTW on eBay. One of six. The holy grail of Current 93 fans.

I repeat my statement: Please don't bid on this. This is my chance to hold an item even Doc Bantham may not even have. A chance of a lifetime.

And yes, if I get it, I may put it back on eBay. Just listening to it would be enough for me. Either that or I'll stick my clear vinyl copy (one of one thousand, fine condition, plays beautifully) there for a stupidly low price so someone here can have it without having to sell their soul for it.

Scratch that. Feel free to bid. Great album. Last bid 50.00 pounds (approx. $90.00 to us bourgeois Americans).
 
That is too bad, TSO. I had resolved not to bid at this point as a courtesy to your request. I suppose I may yet enter the fray, though I fear it may go for some absurd amount in the end. The fact that the dollar is so weak against the pound certainly does not bode well for American bidders. Test pressings such as these are also quite valued by collectors of C93, even apart from the connection with Ligotti. However, hopefully someone here will manage the task!
 
I'm happy that someone cares. Yes,it is likely that it will eventually cost some inane amount. That's what I hate about trying to by a rare Ligotti. But I am joyous, because I just purchased a fine hardcover of Noctuary for a steal (lost my paperback a couple months ago, in Poughkeepsie :().
 
Hello TSO:

That is too bad indeed. I know you were eager about obtaining this item.

Wish I had money; I'd buy it for you.

Three of these were made available today on eBay as announced this morning by Durtro News. I could not resist purchasing the last of these via BuyItNow, in spite of the steep investment. I now have examples of the clear, red and test pressings. A completist finds momentary comfort...
 
With the purchase of each test pressing, David will grace the sleeve with original art and a customized dedication to the buyer's whim.

For the sleeve, I chose the following:
THOMAS LIGOTTI ONLINE
A Shining Brainless Beacon
Of Elegant Mutations
And Cunning Annihilations​

For the label, I chose the simple marking of "TLO".

I will post details of the piece upon receipt!
 
I have received my copy of IHASPFTW Test Pressing! It is absolutely stunning! David was very meticulous with the custom art and dedication. This is a treasure indeed.

Gorgeous. My teeth-gnashing envy at your TLO collection has grown into outright despair. Congratulations, my good doctor.
 
It has become apparent that you are afflicted with the same all consuming compulsion to covet elusive Ligottifacts as I. Methinks I shall start a thread to weave the tapestries of our hopeless longings and the comfort that enrapture within brings.
