Hey Kids!
Here is a RARE test pressing copy of Mars Hill Music's And THRICE member Justin Kensrue's 2014 album "The Water and the Blood." This test pressing was limited to less than five copies (no official number exists, sorry). It was hand archived and tested only ONCE, at the time of the album's original vinyl release. I would describe the record's condition as VG+, but I am not a record grader. This is the FIRST of THREE COPIES of "The Water & the Blood" that are going to be auctioned, so bid hard!
Purchase at your own risk, be kind, and remember: this rarity is for charity!
As a bonus for the winner, this record will also contain a hand-signed Letter of Authenticity signed by T&N President Brandon Ebel.

Background:
Tooth and Nail Records is proud to use my eBay savvy to help them auction off some insanely rare vinyl Test Pressings from the last seven years (always limited to under 5). I don't work directly for T&N, I am just trying to be a good sport and help get these ol' dust-collectors into the hands of some appreciative fans like myself! I also have hand-archived and curated this entire collection over the last 8 or so years, so all of the handwriting and inventory keeping information you see on the sleeves is my own.
These auctions will be held around five-at-a-time, over the next few weeks. I will attempt to give as much detail about each item as I can, including whether or not an additional copy will be listed in a future auction.

Through these auctions, Tooth & Nail hopes to help raise awareness and money for the charity MusiCares (a minimum of $1,000 in direct proceeds from these auctions will be donated, no matter the outcome of the winning prices).

Charity Information:

"MusiCares provides a safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of need. MusiCares' services and resources cover a wide range of financial, medical and personal emergencies, and each case is treated with integrity and confidentiality. MusiCares also focuses the resources and attention of the music industry on human service issues that directly impact the health and welfare of the music community."

HEY YOU! READ THIS!
Buyer information:
Please don't send me messages asking me "if X album is going to be made available for auction." Whatever we've got, you will see by the end of the summer. It will take too much time to field individual "what about this one?"-type questions. I can say right up front, that there will sadly NOT be any copies of Underoath, Copeland, or Mae test pressing records. Also, any vinyl from T&N that pre-dates 2005 has been lost to the sands of time, and we don't have any to put up for auction.

If you have more than one winning bid, we can negotiate a combined shipping price, just let me know in advanced and prior to paying!

Bids from buyers with a feedback rating of less than 5 will not be accepted, sorry!

I can only ship to the US and Canada. If you are an international bidder, please contact your buddy in the US and get them to help you out!"
