I heard he’s selling his penis too (or what’s left of it).
You think he’s opposed to selling his wife too?
"Bidding starts at $10…
$10 people, do I have any takers?"
…
Auction item withdrawn
…again? sad. you’d think he’s happy making some money off the record. apparently the first time in awhile it’s made the charts.
still can’t bring myself to listen to it [laugh]
He should auction off the rights to With Sympathy along with the masters. He claims to have burned them. But seriously. Come on, al. Seriously? You didn’t.
and fukkin rights to other WS era songs/recording so someone can release them properly
This is kind of interesting, the unused lyrics for Test:

TEST II
Do you believe in the litanies of risk?
The need for the marvelous, a caustic bite
Turns into the sweetest kiss
I’m not stupid, I own this thing
And the urge controls my hand
Locate, subvert and terminate
Is all that my life demands
No test this
Test this
I want to be remembered for stupidity and rage
A diseased contortionist or a madman
With a minefield for a stage
I know it all, even when I fall
From the edge into courage
You’ve got to brace yourself before you look
My life the eternal closed book
Test this
Test this
A dying cripple performing his swansong waltz
And he falters before he hits the ground
His twisted face melts, he hits the ground
Bring it on down
Bring it on down
Bring it on down
It’s immortality
It’s immortality
It’s immortality
TEST III
Do you believe in the litanies of risk?
A poisonous bite turns into the sweetest kiss
I plug it in and the buzz controls my hand
A fatal diversion is all that my life demands
Test this
Test this
Down I go again with stupidity and rage
Disease, contortion from the edge into courage
I’ve got to have it all, even when I fall
When I jerk the handle, when I hit the wall
Test this
Test this
I dare you
I dare you
TEST IV
Do you believe in the litanies of risk?
A poisonous bite turns into the sweetest kiss
I plug it in and the urge controls my hand
Fatal diversion is the only thing my life demands
Test this
Test this
Down I go again with stupidity and rage
Disease and contortion from the end into courage
I’ve got to have it all, even when I fall
When I jerk the handle, when I hit the wall
Test this
Test this
I told you before- never open that door
I told you before- never open that door
I told you before- never open that door
It’s immortality
It’s immortality
It’s immortality
I’m asking you to turn it, use it, throw it away
I’m trying to locate, subvert and terminate
I am insane and I’m an expert too
Debasing, defacing just to spite you

In addition to the 2006 ‘Rio Grande Blood’ CD release, 13th Planet Records also released a numbered and limited edition series of 3,000 ‘blood’ colored records. This gatefold-designed album was rapidly absorbed by collectors around the globe and has since become a true collector’s item.
Blood is white?
“Test” is one of the key songs on Ministry’s 1989 “The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste”.
um…

If they were absorbed so quickly, why are there so many left?
Those Test lyrics are one of the repeats. I’m guessing some of these didn’t sell last time.
“Featured here is an exceptionally rare set of four 1-page original photocopies of the various drafts of the song”
They’re photocopies, he can make more even if they did sell last time.
Another auction to buy Als crap. Whats next the toilet paper?
People do not sell their stuff unless they have to sell it.
“original photocopy” bwahahahaahah!
Yeah, I’m not so sure how “original” a photocopy is… I wonder if anyone actually dropped the 1500 on the “official, handwritten notebook” with the Buck Satan lyrics.
