Test-04

The label that started it all. This was my first. Even though it say's test-04. It was because it was called test-04 that all my CD labels became named test. I just stopped changing the number for each revision and started using a, b, c, etc..

After this, I was hooked. I'm not sure why I enjoy creating them so much. Maybe it's because I burn so much music and can't stand the look of black marker.
