Description

1970 - IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY - - MARRYING MAIDEN - 12" VINYL RECORD U.S.A. TEST PRESSING LP - INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET - MATRIX NUMBERS - HS 04800-A/B 8819/20 + CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS AND READ THE DESCRIPTION BELOW - 

HERE'S WHAT I KNOW AND DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS RECORD. FIRST OF ALL I PLAYED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD COMPLETELY THRU SO I DO INDEED KNOW THAT THE ALBUM IS MARRYING MAIDEN. I DO KNOW THAT MARRYING MAIDEN WAS IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY'S 2ND ALBUM RELEASED IN 1970. HOWEVER, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS TEST PRESSING IS THE ORIGINAL TEST PRESSING MADE FOR COLUMBIA RECORDS OR IF IT'S THE ONE MADE FOR THE 1981 SAN FRANSISCO SOUND RECORDS REISSUE. FROM WHAT I COULD FIND THE MATRIX NUMBERS IN THE TRAIL OFFS ON THIS TEST PRESSING DIDN'T MATCH ANYTHING THAT I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE SAN FRANCISCO SOUND REISSUE. I DO LIKE IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY AND RECORDED A CONCERT FOR THEM AROUND 10 YEARS AGO AT ONE OF THEIR GIGS IN PENNSYLVANIA. I EVEN PROVIDED LINDA A COPY OF PART OF THEIR LIVE PERFORMANCE THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE. BUT THE FILMING OF THEIR CONCERT NEVER HAPPENED. MY SPECIALTY IS FRANK ZAPPA  MOTHERS OF INVENTION AND RELATED SO I'M NOT AN IT'S A BEAUTIFUL EXPERT AND DON'T CURRENTLY OWN A STOCK COPY OF MARRYING MAIDEN TO COMPARE THE SONGS FOR CONTENT OR EVEN ORDER.    

TEST PRESSINGS ARE THE FIRST RECORDS THAT ARE PRESSED FROM THE PLATES TO CHECK THE QUALITY AND EVEN THE CONTENTS OF RECORDS BEFORE THEY'RE PRESSED. SOMETIMES THE SONG MIX AND EVEN THE SONGS ON TEST PRESSINGS ARE DIFFERENT. I ASSUME THESE ARE THE SAME AS ON THE RELEASED RECORD BUT THEY MAY NOT BE.

BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD PLAY GREAT. YES I PLAYED THE ENTIRE SIDES ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE GOING THRU A TRANSFORMER HEAD AMP. VISUALLY WHEN I MOVED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD AROUND UNDER A 100 WATT LIGHT BULB, THE RECORD LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. NO SCRATCHES. I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE ANY SCUFFS ALTHOUGH I'M SURE THERE'S SOME SOMEWHERE. ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THE RECORD LOOKS GREAT JUST MIGHT BE BECAUSE IT COMES IN WHAT I'M SURE IS THE ORIGINAL HIGH QUALITY PLASTIC LINED TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE. THE INNER SLEEVE HAS SOME YELLOWING AND A COUPLE OF SEAM SPLITS, SO I'M GONNA PROVIDE YOU WITH A BRAND NEW ONE. I'LL ALSO INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL. NO SEAM SPLITS ON THE ORIGINAL CARDBOARD JACKET THAT HAS THE TITLE WRITTEN ON ONE OF IT'S SIDES. BUT WAIT...., THERE'S MORE..., BECAUSE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.
