Orange 9mm Tests

My last post was for the Orange 9mm 'Ultraman Vs Godzilla' 12". I mentioned how I was never overly excited about any of the later, (previously) CD only Orange 9mm releases... however, when the opportunity arose to buy test presses of them, I was all in. The prices were pretty good, and somehow the shipping price for these from Germany was also really low, so I had no excuse to not buy them. These are all kinda cool as they come in standard, custom Thirty Something Records sleeves, which are numbered and also personalised, so they look like quite a cool lilttle collection in themselves.

First up is 'Tragic', number 7 of 13:

Next is 'Pretend I'm Human', number 10 of 13:

And finally, 'Ultraman Vs Godzilla', number 4 of 13:

In the hierarchy of Orange 9mm test presses, these are probably at the bottom of the list, with the first 12" on Rev at the top, although I figure it's unlikely that any normal mortal will ever find one of those. But only 13 of each makes these cool to have, and I'm happy to have got one of each before they sold out.
