Description
1972 - CAPTAIN BEEFHEART AND THE MAGIC BAND - ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING 12" VINYL RECORD LP WHITE LABEL PROMO - REPRISE RECORDS WHITE STEAMBOAT LABEL - MS 2115 - IT COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL HEAVY PLASTIC ENVELOPE TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE THAT HAS "CLEAR SPOT" IN RAISED LETTERS MOLDED IN THE PLASTIC ON THE BACK . INSIDE IS THE CARDBOARD INSERT AND ALONG WITH THE RECORD IS INCLUDED THE ORIGINAL REPRISE RECORDS PRESS KIT, WHICH CONSISTED OF A PROMO PHOTO AND A 3 PAGE REPRISE RECORDS BIO. THE RECORD PLAYS GREAT, A SMALL VISIBLE HAIRLINE ON SIDE 1 AND A FEW VERY LIGHT SCUFFS. I PLAYED BOTH SIDES ALL THE WAY INCLUDING THAT AREA WHERE THE HAIRLINE IS LOCATED WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE THAT'S AMPLIFIED THRU A HEAD AMP BEFORE THE PRE-AMP AND DIDN'T HEAR MUCH NOISE AT ALL. DON'T SEE ANY SPINDLE MARKS ON THE LABELS. A LITTLE YELLOWING ON THAT CARDBOARD INSERT AND RING WEAR ON THE ORIGINAL CLEAR HEAVY PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE . BUT THERE'S ACTUALLY NO SEAM SPLITS ON THAT CLEAR OUTER SLEEVE AND THE FEW STOCK COPIES I'VE HAD ALL HAD ONE OR 2 SPLITS. THE RECORD ORIGINALLY JUST CAME INSIDE OF THAT CLEAR OUTER SLEEVE, BUT NATURALLY I PUT IT IN A HIGH QUALITY TYPE OF COLLECTOR'S INNER SLEEVE. THE PHOTO IS AN ORIGINAL GLOSSY 8X10 INCH PROMO PHOTO NOT A PRINT, REPRINT, PRE-PRINT OR EVEN MATTE PHOTO THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE CALLING THEIR HOMEMADE LASER JET COPIES. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU AND MAYBE SOME RECORD COMPANIES DID USE MATTE PHOTOS, BUT ALL THE ONES I'VE SEEN HAVE BEEN LASER JET PRINTS, NOT A PHOTO THAT WAS EXPOSED ON PHOTO PAPER. ANYWAY IT'S AN AUTHENTIC PROMO PHOTO. NOTHING PRINTED OR WRITTEN ON THE BACK. STARTING TO CURL UP A LITTLE WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENS TO SOME PHOTOS AFTER 48 YEARS WHEN THE EMULSION BEGINS TO DRY UP. THE BIO PAGES DON'T HAVE ANY TEARS AND ARE HELD TOGETHER BY ONE STAPLE IN THE CORNER THAT'S STARTED TO DEVELOP A TINY BIT OF RUST. NO BIG DEAL YET BUT IF YOU PLAN ON KEEPING IT AROUND FOR ANOTHER 50 YEARS YOU JUST MIGHT WANNA REPLACE IT AT SOME POINT BEFORE IT STARTS TO STAIN THE PAPER. HOWEVER IF YOU'RE A GEEZER WHO PLANS ON BITING THE BIG ONE SOON I REALLY WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT TOO MUCH.BUT WAIT...., THERE'S MORE..., BECAUSE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ ANOTHER PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE THAT GOES OVER THE ORIGINAL PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE. SO MEN FLOP OUT YOUR WALLETS AND WOMEN OPEN YOUR PURSES, BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T BUY IT NOW YOU'LL BE SUFFERING WITH THE WORSE OF THE CURSES, AS IT MIGHT BE A WHILE BEFORE ONE WITH A PRESS KIT POPS UP FOR SALE AGAIN. CHECK OUT THE OTHER PHOTOS TOO.
