I have a few bits of happy hardcore on white label, or test press as some of them say on them, and on discussion with someone in a pub, i have been told that white labels and test pressings are always worth more regardless of age or genre, but i dont know how true that is.
Heres what i got...
Impact 66 - Holding On / Ghetto People
UK Dance 23 - Space Invader / Space Invader (quest remix)
Quosh 24 - Dance Sucker / On a Natural High
Quosh 21 - Sy Unknown & Storm, Life / Ravers Anthem
Essential Platinum 24 - You Make Me Free / Talking About love
Alpha 122 - Three amigos, Find a Way / Haunted
UKD010 (uk dance i presume?) Pretty Green Eyes / Appollo 13 part 2
Force and Styles - Field of Dreams / blank B side
ERA 002 DJ Stompy - Stay with me / Body Rock Tonight > 3 Little Words
Ravin Mad 006 - Dont go / Wipeout
I had loads more than that once, what is a dj / cape fear, let it lift you / distant love, six days on the run, love of my life, shooting star, plus some others i forgot the names of, got lost stolen or broken over the years tho, those 10 are all i have left now.
So yeah, just wondered if my mate was right, its not as if im planning to sell em, plus they're not exactly pristine, have pops and scratches when played, a bit scruffy and tired looking, paper sleeves are a bit ropey etc, but they've had a tough life lol

They should be worth less unless it's a huge tune in mint condition.
Test presses should be identical to final release sound-wise. They're made from the same master disc unless something was wrong with the test press (in which case it would sound worse).

the % of my test presses sound better (pressing-wise) than % of my final release
