Pay attention because this is a rare item. It's so rare that it may confuse you. This is a rare test pressing of the album "Buddha" by Blink 182. However, it's the test pressing for the "picture disc" version of the album, not the regular black or colored vinyl. It's got a picture on it, but it's just the orange graphic you see in the first picture above. It's very thick, like 180 grams thick. Also above is a picture of the actual picture disc when it was eventually pressed and released. That is not included. Neither are Tom, Mark, or Travis who are also pictured. What you get is the 12" vinyl picture disc test pressing. It plays like a regular piece of vinyl on both sides. You can listen to it, but you shouldn't. You should frame it or put it in a museum because it's that rare. It was pressed sometime in the late 1990s. It was just released from the Kung Fu Records Vault. The picture discs themselves are sold out and the current price for one on Amazon starts at $79.00. Thousands of those were pressed. No more than 5 of these were ever pressed, and none were ever released from the vaults. That's about as rare as it gets.
