Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees, Deerhoof, and More Offer Rare Vinyl For Charity Auction

Famous Class Records is currently auctioning off a slew of rare 7-inch releases from SPIN cover star Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees, Cass McCombs, Deerhoof, Lower Densthe Mallard, and more. The Brooklyn-based record label has thrown a total of 25 items onto eBay to help raise money for the VH1 Save the Music Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening music education in public schools.

With the exception of one piece, every item included in the auction hails from Famous Class Records’ Less Artists More Condos split 7-inch series. The LAMC franchise began in 2012 as a tribute to Ariel Panero, a Famous Class co-founder who died in 2010. Named after the “Less Artists More Condos” concerts that Panero organized, it’s yielded nine 7-inch vinyl singles that benefited the Ariel Panero Memorial Fund at Save the Music. SPIN previously streamed two of the releases: Segall’s “Music for a Film 1” and Lower Dens’ “Non Grata.”

Now, Famous Class is offering test pressings and rare alternate versions of every piece of vinyl from the LAMC series, including some autographed copies. The only release not linked to the program is a test pressing of Live at Death By Audio 2012, a compilation that features tracks by Segall, JEFF the Brotherhood, METZ, A Place to Bury Strangers, and Future Islands, among others. As of now, that’s the priciest treasure at $50. Several other wax slabs are available for as little as $15.

Bidding is open now until September 15 at 9 p.m. EST. Check out the auction directly on eBay, and scroll down for a full list of the goods up for grabs.
