A HISTORY OF TEST DEPT.                                1981 - 1994

TEST DEPT were formed in October 1981, from diverse backgrounds learning their skills through practical experience, and making their first performance in February '82.  Originally a music company TEST DEPT developed a style outside the 'normal' music industry practices of the 1980's.  Through working from a highly percussive basis, they brought about an exciting and physical style forged by use of 'found' objects - metal, wooden and plastic (banging any old bit of scrap they could get an interesting sound out of) - alongside more conventional drums, cello, trumpet, bagpipes and varying instrumentation.

Concerts were frequently performed in decaying industrial locations ironically bringing images of 'work' and 'labour' to areas which were in the process of losing their industrial focus and history.  These events grew in scale and ambition resulting in extensive use of film, slides, orators, physical performers, brass ensembles and orchestras. 

The locations they chose to play ranged between the bizarre to the perilous - such as a Railway Arch Waterloo (arrested there, in '83);  Cannon Street British Rail mainline station (''84);  an underground car-park in Ljubliana (''85);  London Transport Maintenance Depot, Paddington ('86);  the Amsterdam Docks; the Monastery in Valladoid, Spain ('87);  the Rover Car factory in Cardiff ('88);  a stone quarry in Italy, a disused nail factory in Hamburg, an ice hockey stadium in Holland ('89);  and the St. Rollox engineering works in Glasgow ('90).  In between these often theatrical events they've also found time to play more regular music venues, such as in London the Town & Country Club, Heaven, Subterreanea, Fridge, Hackney Empire, The Grand, Brixton Academy as well as various squatted venues.

TEST DEPT became established at the forefront of large scale performances in unusual sites as well as regular venues and at many prestigious international theatre and arts festivals throughout the 1980's, (such as WOMAD, EXPO '86, Cool Jazz Festival, NY, Beltane Fire, Edinburgh; New Music America in Montreal, etc.). 

In 1985, TEST DEPT undertook the largest (two and a half months) Eastern European tour by a modern group.  Consistently concerts have been also performed in support of causes such as the miners strike of 1984/5, the print workers dispute of '87, the ambulance workers strike of 1989/90, AIDS awareness and the anti-apartheid campaign.

Their many collaborations with a wide range of groups and individuals illustrate the diversity of their artistic scope - e.g.: Aboriginal Artists of SW. Australia (WOMAD '83);  The South Wales Striking Miners Choir (album & gigs '84);  Diamanda Galas (Deptford '85);  Dutch dance company Werkcentrum Dans ('88);  Welsh Theatre group Brith Gof (album & tour '88);  Tony Benn (ICA '89);  The Mutoid Waste Co. (Italy '93);  Scottish Chamber Orchestra & Choir (album 90);  T*A*O* Sound System DJs (gigs & single ''92).  Other artists they've shared the stage with include Cabaret Voltaire, Laibach, Sarah Jane Morris, Einsteurzen Neubauten, The Drum Club and Hawkwind.

In 1990, the by-then gigantic-scale performances reached a peak at St. Rollox for the 'Second Coming' performance.  Since then their attentions have focused on rave culture, a logical progression for their percussive style.  Their 'Pax Americana'' released during the propaganda build-up to the Gulf War featured children singing 'We love Saddam Hussein' to an eastern-flavoured rhythm; on 'New World Order' (a dance-floor hit in the Mid-West of America) at the beginning of the war they sampled George Bush extolling the new world order he was trying to create.  This period of their work is now collected together for the first time on the album 'LEGACY (1990-1993)', featuring singles and previously unreleased recordings.

Payment
Paypal is smoothly integrated into ebay, and works well. 
If you don’t have PayPal or want to pay by credit-card, you can still do so through PayPal.  Just don’t log into an account, and look for the button saying ‘Pay by credit-card’. 
We also accept cheques from UK banks in Pounds Sterling, and UK Postal Orders.  Checks in US Dollars from US banks can be accepted with a $3 surcharge. 
PayPal eCheques and orders paid by any method outside of PayPal may take longer to process and be subject to delays.

Postage
UK and particularly international postage charges have risen sharply (May 2012).  The amount we charge is what we expect to pay plus approx 20-30p for packing materials. 
Multiple items postage
If you are ordering multiple items, there will be automatic approximated reduction in postage costs – but make sure you order them together, not individually.  If the estimate still looks excessive, don't pay but click on the 'Request total from seller' button in the shopping basket.  We'll then recalculate the costs for your combined items postage and send you an invoice.  The postage may or may not calculate as less; we’re trying to refine the accuracy of the automation.
(Note: the date printed on our postage is two days after we print it, ie the date it remains valid until with Royal Mail.)

Problem?
We want you to be really happy with your purchase.  If you’re not, or something’s gone wrong, please message us.  We will do our very best to resolve any problem.  If our item description isn’t quite right, or you think we’ve overcharged on postage, please let us know instead of marking down our ebay feedback.  If you have an order problem you’d like to resolve quickly, you can try phoning us on +44(0)208 537 3445.  Good manners are appreciated!

Ebay Messaging
The ebay messaging system doesn’t include your name, date of purchase or payment, or even the order reference number.  It’ll help us deal with your query faster if you can include those.  Please remember, the ebay shop is not our main business so we may not always respond immediately; but we will get back to you.

What's a max bid?
Your max bid should be the highest amount you're willing to pay for an item.
We keep your max bid amount a secret from the seller and other bidders.
Max bidding example:
If a current bid is £20 and your max bid is £30, we bid £21 for you.
If no one else bids, you win and pay £21.
However, if someone else places a bid for £35, you will be out bid and the new highest bid on the auction will be £31. You will need to increase your max bid to more than £35 to be the highest bidder.
