WHITE KAPS - BLOWN IN THE U.S.A. (TEST PRESSING)

Seize an extraordinarily rare, ground-zero artifact of Southern California skate-punk history with this authentic 1993 vintage US test pressing of Blown in the U.S.A. by the White Kaps. Serving as the legendary third-ever release on the iconic Fearless Records label, this elusive white-label grail represents the raw, un-played blueprint of Orange County punk rock royalty. The wide, pristine first-run analog grooves deliver the fierce, localized club velocity of the band's twin-guitar attack and snotty vocal energy—unleashing a relentless 20-track barrage featuring underground staples like "Lucky 4 Me," "Trendy Fuck," and "Overserved." Bearing the coveted Greg Lee Processing matrix etchings in the dead wax, this hyper-scarce, plain-sleeve test copy is a monumental, museum-tier crown jewel for any serious 90s skate-punk archivist, SoCal hardcore historian, or elite vinyl collector.

1993 test pressing, A-side white label has "F00-3ARE / BRE / 6-24-93" written in black sharpie; B-side plain white label.  Runouts are etched:  A-side : F003 ARE L-41501, B-side: F003 BRE L-41501-X.  No pressing manufacturer evident.  Release label was Fearless Records, catalog #F003.  Contains full album.

Sleeve is generic white inner with "WHITE KAPS "Blowin' In The USA" Fearless Records" handwritten on it.  

Vinyl grades VG+.  Plays through perfect with no issues or deficiencies.  Vinyl surface shows a handful of light surface marks/hairlines that don't impact playback.
