RELEASE DATE: MAY 12TH 1980 - THE NIGHTHAWKS - - SELF TITLED PRC RECORDING TEST PRESSING LP WITH THE PHONOGRAM / MERCURY RECORD INFORMATION SHEET - IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE READ THE DESCRIPTION AND WHAT I SAY ABOUT EM' BELOW -   

THEY'VE BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME AND HAVE PROBABLY PLAYED AT VIRTUALLY EVERY PLACE THERE EVER WAS TO PLAY IN THE WASHINGTON, D.C. AREA. IF YOU'VE LIVED AROUND HERE FOR A WHILE AND HAVE EVER GONE OUT TO PARTY ON A FRIDAY OR SATURDAY NIGHT FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS YOU PROBABLY HAVE SEEN THEM. THEY OFTEN APPEARED AT THE BAYOU NIGHTCLUB IN THE TRENDY GEORGETOWN AREA OF WASHINGTON, D.C. BEFORE IT WAS TORN DOWN. IF YOU LIKED ROCK AND BLUES THEN THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD BAND TO SEE GOING OUT TO PARTY ON THE WEEKENDS. WOMEN LIKED EM' TOO AND YOU COULD DANCE TO THE MUSIC, MAYBE EVEN PICK UP A CHICK AT ONE OF THEY'RE GIGS. BUT HEY, THE MUSIC WAS GOOD, SO EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T SCORE YOU'D WIND UP HAVING A GOOD TIME ANYWAY.

I DON'T HAVE THE MERCURY STOCK COPY TO COMPARE THIS TEST PRESSING SO I DON'T KNOW IF THE SONGS, MIXES ARE DIFFERENT. TEST PRESSINGS SOMETIMES ARE.

SIDE A CONTAINS: MAINLINE - UPSIDE YOUR HEAD - EVERYNIGHT AND EVERYDAY - BACK TO THE CITY - ONE NITE STAND - PRETTY GIRLS AND CADILLACS.

SIDE B CONTAINS: BRAND NEW MAN - LITTLE SISTER - DON'T GO NO FURTHER - TEEN-AGE LETTER - I WOULDN'T TREAT A DOG .  

AS ALWAYS PRIOR TO LISTING I PLAYED BOTH SIDES ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE. BOTH SIDES PLAY GREAT. VISUALLY MOVING BOTH SIDES AROUND UNDER A 100 WATT LIGHT BULB, A FEW LIGHT SCUFFS THAT DON'T JUST JUMP UP AND GRAB YA'. YOU GOTTA REALLY LOOK TO FIND EM'. SOME SPINDLE MARKS ON THE WHITE LABELS. ALTHOUGH I DON'T USE THOSE KINDS OF GRADES IT WOULD BE AN OVERALL VERY HONEST VG+ ALTHOUGH MOST WOULD PROBABLY GRADE IT M-. A LITTLE LIGHT YELLOWING ON THE 35 YEAR OLD RECORD INFORMATION SLEEVE. THE RECORD COMES IN A GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET THAT LOOKS NICE. I SAVED THE ORIGINAL WHITE PAPER INNER SLEEVE AND PUT THE RECORD IN A HIGH QUALITY TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE AND IT ALL COMES IN A PLASTIC OUTER OUTER SLEEVE. SO WADDA YEZ WAITIN' FOR, HUH?
