Mighty High and Ripple Music Join Forces to Auction Rare Test Pressing for Charity

Cosmic Lava proclaims that the latest Mighty High slice of primal rock mayhem is “angry, funny and a powerful jolt of rebellious energy.” Downtuned Mag boasts that Legalize Tre Bags is “an addictive, vulgar, raw, filthy son of a bitch. A thirty-minute bad-ass, pure garage-punk ‘n’ roll fun ride.” And Ringmaster spits out “Legalize Tre Bags is a raucous feast of punk, weed, and middle finger attitude — most of all it’s a deeply satisfying slab of rock n roll.”

Now, continuing Ripple Music’s tradition of auctioning off it’s rare test pressings for charity, Mighty High and Ripple have joined forces to auction the only original test pressings of Mighty High’s block-buster new album, Legalize Tre Bags, with all proceeds going to benefit Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center for Cancer Research.

With cancer being a deeply personal issue for both the band and label, they couldn’t be happier to support this cause.

Now, this isn’t just any old test pressing auction. What’s being auctioned is the incredible rare locked-groove version of the album, with a repeating belch at the end of side one that was deleted from the official release. This is the ONLY version that includes the original version of the album. Due to time and financial constraints, this idea had to be abandoned.

But that’s not all! Included with the test pressing is the original cover art and a signed poster featuring the mind-bending art of Braino. (www.brainonyc.com)

You can find this rarest test pressing auction happening now on eBay.
