Sound Economics

Just over a year ago I posted about the Forgive/Forget 7". The band was made up of Brian McTernan (Battery, Ashes, Miltown, Be Well), Sammy Siegler (Judge, YOT, etc) and Joshua English (Six Going On Seven) and existed for a very brief time in 1998. They recorded some songs that were never officially released, until someone decided to put out 3 songs as a 7" a couple of years back. I ended up getting sucked into buying all 3 versions of the record, but was too late for the test pressings that the label sold.

Well a couple of weeks ago a test press appeared for sale on discogs, and by a stroke of good fortune it was being sold by a UK seller, and also not too badly priced. Done deal.

The test press comes in a special cover, and also comes with a card inner sleeve which is numbered out of 19 copies.

It's rare that I can summon the energy to take group photos, but I figured that a complete collection of something was worth the time. Especially for a 7".
