TEST PRESSINGS

Original test pressings from the personal collection of Damon & Naomi are presented in one-of-a-kind sleeves designed, handmade and signed by Naomi. 

Galaxie 500 series (2025)

16 album and 12” single test pressings, each in a unique sleeve designed by Naomi as a series. The sleeves feature images from Naomi’s archive of sketches and mechanicals used in creating the final commercial cover art for each Galaxie 500 release - in the same way that a test pressing is needed to make a final album, these sketches and mechanicals were used to create the final artwork for the original covers.
These images are then collaged onto an piece of Pantone color paper from the late 80’s, also from Naomi’s archive. These color papers were crucial to the pre-digital design work that Naomi employed on all the original Galaxie 500 releases. Each test pressing uses a different Pantone color, there are no two the same.
