Description
EXXPLORER "UNRELEASED" 12" TEST PRESS
Explorer LP on ex-rated records. This is an original test pressing directly from the guy who used to run megaforce. Comes in a plain white dust sleeve, no jacket. I cannot find any information about this 12" existing. Looked on metal archives and i see only full length records from exxplorer, nothing from explorer especially a 4 song 12". The bands name on this is Explorer, which was quickly changed to exxplorer on their first lp in 1984. Test pressing date is 11/11/83. B side label has same catalog info filled in but has a contact address for jamesburg NJ instead of a track list. Vinyl has a few light marks.
This is one of a big batch of test pressings i have for sale. This is 100% authentic. Very rare, usually only 10 or less ever made. There is a chance some of these may be alternate mixes or rejected test pressings. Because of the possibility of rejected test pressings (mastering and plating defects in the actual metal plates themselves) items are sold AS-IS. These are strictly graded visually. I am very strict with my grading and have been grading records for 15 years.
Check my other auctions for tons of other megaforce test pressings including anthrax, metallica, mod, and testament. Also tons of punk, hardcore and metal vinyl and cd's, gg allin letters and assorted other music related goodness coming over the next few weeks.

Feel free to message any questions, which cannot be answered below, before bidding.
BY BIDDING YOU AGREE TO MY TERMS
- GENERAL - Items must be paid for within 7 days. If they are not an unpaid item alert will be filed. Then negative feedback will be left. This goes for international bidders as well.
- SHIPPING - I offer shipping by either priority mail or media mail (for records & cd's). The shipping cost includes delivery confirmation in the US. If you want insurance it is offered to you as an option, or just ask for it. I am NOT responsible for uninsured packages. Meaning if your package gets crushed and you didn't buy insurance there is nothing i can do. Realize that postal workers do not handle everything with care, i ship everything in the condition stated in my auctions, as securely as possible. I do not ship on weekends, or every day. You may also request items to be sent by fed ex or ups. These will be more expensive but i will work with the buyer.
- COMBINE ITEMS TO SAVE ON SHIPPING - Buy multiple items and combine to save on shipping, each additional cd & 7" is 50 cents, I have no problem waiting a few days for you to win other items but with the amount of stuff i list i cannot wait over a week. If you are planning to bid on other items and already won a bunch just pay for the current batch.
- OVERSEAS SHIPPING - All international items over $70 must pay for registered mail. International bidders are encouraged to pay for registered mail on all orders which is another $9 on top of shipping costs (no one ever wants to pay this). Shipping can get expensive overseas. There is no more surface mail, so everything must go by air or priority. Despite what you think there is NO tracking provided free of charge with airmail. There is a customs form you fill out but you get no receipt of the number, and it is not tracking. Go to the postal service website and find me where it says tracking is free. Door to door tracking does not yet exist from the United States Postal service. This is a UPS exclusive and you pay for the privilege.
