JULY 28TH 1971 - CHEECH & CHONG - THIS IS THE VERY FIRST U.S.A. TEST PRESSING LP MADE BY MONARCH RECORD MANUFACTURING COMPANY FOR ODE RECORDS OF THIS CLASSIC MASTERPIECE ALBUM - INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL ODE RECORDS LABEL COPY AND WHAT I'M SURE IS THE ORIGINAL WHITE PAPER INNER SLEEVE - THERE'S A GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET THAT IT CAME IN TOO BUT IT LOOKS TOO NEW TO BE 44 YEARS OLD, BUT WHO GIVES A FU*K ABOUT GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKETS ANYWAY? - MONARCH RECORD MFG. CO LABELS - MATRICES NUMBERS - ODE SP 77019/20 MI TRIANGLE 16264-X - THIS IS A CLASSIC ALBUM FOLKS AND AT LEAST IN MY OPINION THE BEST ALBUM CHEECH & CHONG EVER RECORDED - READ WHAT I HAVE TO SPEW FORTH ABOUT THIS ALBUM AFTER YOU SCROLL PAST THE OBLIGATORY CRUD BELOW - OK LARRY?

HELLO THERE, I'M REV. A. WEST AND I'M THE GREATEST LIVING ZAPPA SELLER KNOWN TO MANKIND. YES THAT'S RIGHT, I'M THE IDIOT WHO WASTES HIS TIME TRYING TO SELL MUSIC AND OTHER STUFF BY A GUY WHO HAD BEEN BETTER KNOWN FOR SITTING ON A TOILET THAN HIS MUSIC. SO NOW THERE YOU ARE SITTING IN FRONT OF YOUR SCREEN SCRATCHING YOUR OVERSIZED RONDO HATTON BEMIS STYLE HEAD WHILE THINKING, YEAH, OK REV , BUT I JUST CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHY, I MEAN WHY WOULD ANYBODY WANNA WASTE HIS TIME TRYING TO SELL MUSIC AND OTHER STUFF BY A GUY WHO NOBODY HERE IN THE USA LIKES OR EVEN KNEW ABOUT? YEAH REV, WHAT'S THE DEAL? WELL LARRY, I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER ASK. BUT SINCE YOU JUST COULDN'T CONTAIN YOURSELF, IT'S BECAUSE I LIVE A BORING AND MISERABLE EXISTENCE AND SIMPLY HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN TO ANNOY PEOPLE LIKE YOU. OK LARRY?

I'LL TELL YA', THIS ALBUM IS STILL HILARIOUS AFTER ALL OF THESE YEARS. I HAVEN'T HEARD THIS ALBUM IN PROBABLY 30 OR 40 YEARS AND JUST PLAYED IT BEFORE THIS LISTING. STATE VS. STONER WHERE THOSE PEOPLE ARE LAUGHING THEIR ASSES OFF IN THE BACKGROUND. OH MAN. THE CLASSIC DAVE'S NOT HERE. YEAH IT'S SOPHOMORIC HUMOR BUT IT STILL CRACKS ME UP. THIS IS A CLASSIC ALBUM FOLKS WHICH DEFINED THE TIMES FOR SOME PEOPLE BACK THEN. THEY JUST DON'T MAKE COMEDY LIKE THAT ANYMORE. OK LARRY?

SIDE UNO CONTAINS: BLIND MELON CHITLIN' - WINK DINKERSON - ACAPULCO GOLD - VIETNAM - TRIPPIN' IN COURT.

SIDE YE CONTAINS: DAVE - EMERGENCY WARD - WELCOME TO MEXICO - THE POPE: LIVE AT THE VATICAN - CRUSIN' WITH PEDRO DE PACAS - WAITING FOR DAVE.

NO SEAM SPLITS ON THE CARDBOARD JACKET, FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH THE WHITE PAPER INNER SLEEVE HAS WRITING ON IT AS WELL AS THE ORIGINAL LABEL COPY. IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THIS TEST PRESSING HAD BEEN USED AT A RADIO STATION AND THE WRITING WAS DONE BY SOMEBODY AT THE STATION WHO LISTENED TO IT TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT PARTS COULD BE AIRED. SEE PHOTOS.

I PLAYED BOTH SIDES OF IT ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE. BOTH SIDES PLAY FINE. THIS IS BASICALLY A SPOKEN WORD ALBUM AND THERE'S JUST NORMAL SURFACE NOISE, NOTHING EXCESSIVE. ONE OF THE REASONS JUST MIGHT BE THAT WHEN I MOVED IT AROUND UNDER A 100 WATT LIGHT BULB THERE'S ONLY SOME LIGHT SCUFF TYPE OF SURFACE MARKS. NO DEEP GROOVE SCRATCHES LIKE WHAT HAD PROBABLY HAPPENED TO THAT RECORD YOU HEAR ON THE LAST TRACK OF THIS ALBUM.
 AS MENTIONED EARLIER THE RECORD COMES IN A HIGH QUALITY TYPE OF COLLECTOR'S INNER SLEEVE IF YOU BUY BEFORE MIDNITE TONITE . BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE.... BECAUSE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.  

SIMPLY PAY WHEN YOU PURCHASE THIS ITEM. SO NO LONGER WILL I GET TO HEAR DEM EXCUSES WHILE LAUGHING MY BEHIND OFF SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: "I FORGOT THAT THESE WERE VINYL RECORDS.THE LAST ONE THAT I PURCHASED GOT DAMAGED WHEN I TRIED TO CRAM IT INTO MY CD PLAYER","I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS RICCARDO ZAPPA. ISN'T FRANK ZAPPA THAT GUY WHO ALWAYS LIKED TO SIT ON TOILETS?","AFTER CONSULTING WITH MY WIFE WHO SAID THAT SHE WAS GOING TO STICK MY BALLS IN A VICE IF I PURCHASED JUST ONE MORE FRANK ZAPPA RECORD, I DECIDED TO PLAY IT SMART AND BUY AN APRON, BROOM AND MOP FOR ME TO USE INSTEAD". EVEN IF SOME, IF NOT ALL OF THESE MISERABLE EXCUSES ARE TRUE. COMBINED SHIPPING IS AVAILABLE FOR CERTAIN PEOPLE AND CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS, HOWEVER IN TRYING TO KEEP IN STEP WITH ALL OF THOSE BIG TIME SELLERS, THAT WANNA MAKE EVEN THE SMALLEST THING A HASSLE, AND THE FACT THAT YOU PROBABLY DESERVE MORE GRIEF IN YOUR LIFE THAN YOU'RE CURRENTLY GETTING, YOU'LL NEED TO READ THE FINE PRINT FIRST: TO QUALITY FOR COMBINED SHIPPING, A PERSON NEEDS TO MEET AND / OR EXCEED ALL OF THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS: YOU NEED TO HAVE PURCHASED MORE THAN ONE ITEM FROM ME, NOT ONE ITEM FROM ME, AND A HELEN REDDY ALBUM FROM SOME WOMAN NAMED JOE. YOU NEED TO HAVE PAID FOR THOSE ITEMS WITH A PAYMENT RECEIVED BY ME, NOT ONE PAYMENT FOR ONE ITEM MADE TO ME, AND THEN YOU GO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR MONEY ON A HOOKER IN SOME SEEDY MOTEL. YOU MUST NOT BE NOW, NOR HAVE EVER BEEN, AND MUST PROMISE THAT IN THE FUTURE NEVER TO BE: CAUGHT SLOBBERING DRUNK AT THE PALOMINO, THEREFORE RECEIVING UP TO, AND INCLUDING 30 DAYS IN SAN BER'DINO. NUISANCE DILLHOLE OR DILLWEED. LARRY'S MOTHER. THE GUY WHO RECENTLY HAD THE UNMITIGATED AUDACITY TO TELL ME THAT HE WAS OFFENDED BY ONE OF MY LISTINGS, AND THAT I SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF MYSELF. ..
