here it is:

and the seller is in fact Tom Hazelmyer himself (I suspect)
so this is the real deal chaps.
Test Pressing from upcoming Melvins Juxtapoz Art Show performance exclusive single. Okay here's the scoop. On March 24th and 25th the Melvins will be in Minneapolis playing at the JUXTAPOZ Magazine 2006 Group Show art Openings (find out more at www.ox-op.com). At those shows there's going to be an exclusive Melvins single available. It contains 2 actual unreleased ROCK songs. In order to raise $$ for the silk screened sleeves we're going to be making for this release, we decided to auction off several of the test pressings way before it actually hits the streets. To make sure everyone knows these are the REAL DEAL, King Buzzo posed for, and signed a Polaroid for each of the test pressings. A Side: PIGSKIN B Side: STARVE ALREADY
Pigskin is the Melvins. Starve Already has King Buzzo on guitar with Haze XXL and Grant Hart on Bass & Drums. Both songs are sung by King Buzzo and are over 2 minutes on each side.
The Polaroid you see here is the one included with your single. The picture of the single is to show how all the series will be packaged but this is a picture of test pressing #1 and you may be bidding on a different number of the pressing with a different Polaroid. Read that again and realize you will win the test pressing and picture with the number of this auction.
Anyone winning this auction agrees with the following terms: They will not digitize nor distribute the copyrighted material on these test pressings in any way shape or form!! This test pressing is for their own personal usage PERIOD. Happy bidding and good luck!
Damn.
So, ah, who wants to buy me one of these at the show? 8)
they did this before!!!!!! on the 2nd mark d tour they had test pressings for sale!
7" of Untitled / Marching Daisies, I'm not going crazy here. It was clearly written.

http://www.themelvins.net/discography/singles/barbaraal/index.html - do you mean this?
I saw it at the merch table at one of the shows with Mark D mid-90s.
I even picked it up and looked at it, but at the time I stupidly didn't buy it!!
I think it may have been from the pre-Stag sessions, or was a working title
for one of the songs that made it onto Stag. I've never seen it or read
about it anywhere since.
I willing to bet two pieces of lint that Green Honey is correct.

yeah, marching daisys seems like a good working title for june bug.
a spanking good instrumental I might add.
Hmmm, maybe. Good point but what I saw didnt have a comicbook with it.
Who is Haze XXL?
That's Tom Hazelmyer's groovy street approved graffiti tagger name
he's the founder of Amphetamine Reptile. Home on occasion to the Melvins
$150 and rising :shock:
I'm surprised its going for that much, I saw a test pressing for Bullhead on ebay not too long ago (not autographed though), and I thought it went for way cheaper... That seems like a hell of a lot to pay for this new single, but its certainly a unique item.

I'm hoping the high bids on the test pressings are going to knock down the price of the actual singles a bit.
AU CONTRAIRE! I believe seeing such crazy demand for them may increase said price.

I agree. :(
from HAZE XXL himself:
I asked him about the Grumpys show ->
"Show is set, tickets bought for band etc. March 24th at Soovac Gallery -March 25th at Grumpy's/Ox-Op
Singles are sitting here and waiting for sleeves.
We don't have presale tickets in hand but they're being made."
then he posted about the new split single ->
"OKay - here's the scoop for now on Melvins "PIGSKIN" 7".....
2 different sleeves (one for each night of the event).
There will be a 1000 pressed. 500 clear vinyl / 500 black.
Just to be a bastard - probably get only the black ones signed by the band and sell those on the website.
The exact numbers of what will be sold show nights, what will be available via AmRep site, and what the band is getting has yet to be determined.
That's what I have for now info wise."
Very cool Change&Suffoc.- I salute you-- Thanks for the information

no i mean like i wasnt sure which record label it was putting it through..because it mentions haze xxl but i figured that might have been the promoter of the concert or something..and then it mentions amrep...but thats only in regards to how much is going to be sold at the shows..
oh no wait..i read it wrong...i suppose it is amrep then...sorry
no sorry I was just being a dick, yeah its the Amrep site that will have them...
