Classics Test Pressing

For every project produced by VMP, our staff reviews plain black test pressings to ensure that its sonics and pressing quality are up to our high standards. Once these test pressings are approved, our partner pressing plants begin pressing our projects on whichever vinyl colorway we鈥檝e chosen. The approved test pressings are then filed into a storage locker in Denver, Colorado, where they鈥檝e been sitting since we got our first tests in 2016.

Over the years, we鈥檝e accrued over 2,000 sets of test pressings, and instead of letting them sit untouched in storage, only heard by one or two staff members, we鈥檙e making these ultra-rare pressings available for the first time ever. Here鈥檚 your chance to cosplay as a VMP staffer and hear these albums as they were before they made it into the world
