The day has finally come to unload my massive L.T.J. collection.  After almost 10 years of collecting here in Florida (1994-2001), I have decided to pass it on.   Stay tuned all this year for all of them to be listed, one at a time!

finally up this week, one of my rarest and most sought after items:

____________

LESS THAN JAKE

   Losing Streak Outtakes 5"

7" TEST PRESSING

ONLY 8 OR SO OF THESE WHERE EVER MADE, MAYBE EVEN LESS?

You can see that only the inner portion of this vinyl has the song grooves, because this was to be eventually pressed on a unique 5" record. (see last photo)

Year and pressing info:  1996, test pressing of only 8 or so on black 7" vinyl. (not sure of exact number?)

Label and cat#:   No Idea Records, Gainesville, Florida. NIR-039

Record condition:  MINT, Never played, is kind of dusty, it came that way.

Cover condition: MINT, final 5" Jacket is in perfect condition. includes a 7" inner sleeve

I got this back in the late 1990's directly from Shaun Grief who I believe was a roadie for the band. He also played in a band with Chris & Vinnie prior to LTJ forming. I received many unique and hard to find stuff from Shaun's personal collection, this is one of them.

Don't pass this up, you will NEVER find another one!

I will be listing all of my collection this year. I basically have over 80% of what was released up until 2001. (see last 2 photos). I even have some unique test pressings & the Pie Tin! so stay tuned.

I have only seen one other example of this test pressing in all these years and it sold for $220

I'm a vinyl collector not a dealer so bid with confidence!  

I have always treated my records with the most care. None of my original records are less then very good condition and most are in near mint condition.  Almost half of my Less Than Jake records where bought new and never played. the others were bought used and never played as well. ( I have it all on CD's)

All records will be shipped with a protective plastic sleeve, vinyl removed from cover to protect spine during shipping and 12 inch records will be packaged in a LP designed cardboard mailer. 7 inch records will be packaged in Single designed cardboard mailers. Only the best for my record collection!

My grading:

MINT (M): New in original un-opened packaging, perfect, never played and like new in every way.

NEAR MINT (NM): Opened and played very few times, only very minor visual imperfections. Super clean cover.

EXCELLENT (EX): Played lightly and well cared for, a few light scuffs. Cover may have a few creases or imperfections. Still a very clean record and cover.

VERY GOOD (VG): Has scuffs or light scratches and noticeable signs of heavier wear and handling. Cover may have more visible wear, small rips or small seam splits.

GOOD (G): Has many scuffs and scratches, signs of heavy wear and handling. Cover shows obvious marks, creases, rips, tape, seam splits or wear, labels ripped or written on. Basically not cared for. (these records were the ones I purchased used or received from friends).

+/-: If I have a hard time putting either record or cover into a solid grade.
