Raspberries - Original "Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)" Acetate - 1974

EricCarmen.com Auction

This auction is for an exceedingly RARE original acetate pressing of the Raspberries classic power-pop masterpiece "Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)" recorded in 1974. This acetate is labeled with the track's original title: "Hit Record," which Capitol made Eric change because they didn't "get the joke." Because it carries the original title (and labeled "Ver. 1"), it may be a different mix than the song that was released. Made directly from the Master Tape after the band finished mixing the single, this record in all likelihood is the only one of its kind in the world!
From his formative musical beginnings in Cleveland, Ohio, to his chart-toppers with Raspberries, "Go All The Way," "I Wanna Be With You," and "Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)," to his solo career smashes, "All By Myself," "Never Gonna Fall In Love Again," 'Hungry Eyes," and "Make Me Lose Control," Eric Carmen, who many have rightfully proclaimed the father of power pop, has proven himself a musical genius with few equals.
Proceeds from this auction help keep EricCarmen.com online, so thanks for your support!
LOW opening bid. Good luck!
