Rejected Screen-Printed Test-Pressing of the Original MCA-DAY Eternal 7"
Never before sold nor seen early first version of the MCA-DAY Eternal 7" vinyl.
The original idea was to also have the MCA-DAY logo screen-printed in metallic silver on the glow-in-the-dark vinyl so when the lights are out, you can read "MCA-DAY" on the actual vinyl. But the screen-printing did not print perfectly in the one inch diameter around the center hole to pass strict quality-control. Reason being that vinyl presses never press records perfectly flat around the center hole so screen-printing must avoid having art in this area to get the perfect printing which this record surely has outside that area.
It's nothing major and not that noticeable when it's glowing. But again, we were going for perfection for MCA. But this makes one hell of a collectible!
What's also unique about this record is that the audio is only on one side of the record–opposite the screen-printed side, unlike the final release which has the audio pressed on both sides.
Comes in a black inner-sleeve stamped with the official MCA-DAY logo in silver metallic paint. (This does not come with the die-cut jacket)
INFO ABOUT THE FINAL VERSION: Five copies of the final release (not the screen-printed test-pressing in this auction) were won by fans during a trivia contest at the MCA-DAY event on August 20th, 2016 at Littlefield, Brooklyn, NY. Last photo is of the unveil on the MCA-DAY stage.
VINYL HISTORY: This marked the first time a Glow-in-the-Dark record inserted into a Die-Cut jacket creates a message. Regardless of darkness, it "Can't, Won't, and Doesn't Stop" shining–just like Adam Yauch. That's why it's called the Eternal 7".
NOTABLE FEATURES: This vinyl glows Red unlike the common green. Magically it's a milky-white color in daylight. The vinyl is VERY heavy–feels like 300 gram! The jacket is a heavy stock with metallic foil printing on both sides and a coating that's fingerprint-proof. Yes, all the stops were pulled out for the legendary Adam Yauch!
INFO ABOUT THE RECORDING & MCA-DAY:
ADAM YAUCH FOR WORLD PEACE (Live from the U.S. Capitol) On June 15th, 1998, Adam Yauch along with members of Congress, human rights activists and musicians gathered at the U.S. Capitol to stage a rally in support for human rights in Tibet. Preserved on this very limited Eternal 7” is Yauch’s message of world peace from that day.
This record serves to carry forward Adam Yauch’s eternal message of world peace that’s celebrated on MCA-DAY, an annual tribute event honoring the life of musician & humanitarian of the legendary Beastie Boys.
