Test pressing of the “Priest” they called him on eBay
| January 17th, 2009
William S. Burroughs and Kurt Cobain are two heavily influential American artists. Burroughs for his grotesque, cut-up style of writing; Cobain for his music and then finally for his suicide.
Two years before Cobain’s death, in 1992, he and Burroughs collaborated on the “Priest” they called him, a track that I’ve been a big fan of it since the days of Napster and dial-up internet connectivity. Due to the fact that the record was only available as a 10″ picture disc, I’ve consequently only ever possessed digital copies. Over the years, I’ve seen a few actual records surface at local stores, but I never had the cash to buy one for myself.
Which is certainly the case with this copy available on eBay—a frigging test pressing, which makes it almost inconceivably expensive to regular people like me: $14,999.99 plus shipping.
