THIS SIGNED TEST PRESSING OF THIS COOL LP BY AN EVEN COOLER AVANT-GARDE ARTIST WILL PROBABLY BE WORTH A FORTUNE ONE DAY. WHEN PEOPLE FINALLY REALIZE THAT SOME HALF NAKED FEMALE WITH HUGE MAMMALIAN PROTUBERANCES, THAT LIKES TO SHAKE EM' ROUND N' ROUND TO SOME BACKGROUND TRACK OF MUSIC AND VOCALS WHICH PROBABLY AREN'T EVEN HER, DOESN'T REALLY CREATE ANYTHING RESEMBLING MUSIC. BUT HEY, LOOK AT HER GO. . OK LARRY?
SOME OF THIS STUFF SOUNDS LIKE CAPTAIN BEEFHEART FROM TROUT MASK REPLICA, AND SOME SOUNDS MORE LIKE KICK BUTT JAZZ ROCK. THESE GUYS ARE GREAT AND IT'S ONLY A TRIO. I DON'T KNOW IF HENRY KAISER IS THE ONE THAT ACTUALLY WROTE THE STUFF ON THE COVER IN PENCIL AND SIGNED IT, I WASN'T THERE SO I CAN'T REALLY SAY, BUT IT'S MORE THAN LIKELY THAT HE DID. I MEAN IT'S A TEST PRESSING THAT ARTISTS RECEIVE BEFORE THE ALBUM IS RELEASED AND WHO ELSE WOULD WRITE THAT KIND OF STUFF ON THE COVER AND SIGN IT HENRY?
TEST PRESSINGS ARE THE FIRST RECORDS PRESSED FROM THE PLATES TO CHECK THE QUALITY AND CONTENT OF THE ALBUM. SO TEST PRESSINGS ARE ALWAYS THE BEST SOUND QUALITY RECORDINGS THAT YOU CAN EVER FIND OF THAT ALBUM. THEY'RE MADE IN LIMITED QUANTITY, SOMETIMES NO MORE THAN 3 OR 5. IN SOME CASES THE MUSICAL CONTENT AND / OR MIXES ARE DIFFERENT ON TEST PRESSINGS THAN ON THE VERSION THAT'S FINALLY RELEASED. I HAVEN'T COMPARED THIS TEST PRESSING TO THE STOCK COPY, SO I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THE SONG MIXES ARE DIFFERENT, AND EVEN THE REGULAR RELEASED STOCK VINYL COPY FROM 1983 IS RARE, A CD WITH BONUS TRACKS WAS RELEASED OF THIS ALBUM IN 1988.
RECORD SOUNDS GREAT. GREAT CONDITION VISUALLY TOO. MOVING BOTH SIDES 'ROUND 'N 'ROUND LIKE AN IDIOT 'TILL GOING VIRTUALLY BLIND, I COULD ONLY FIND ONE ULTRA LIGHT SCUFF ON SIDE ONE, AND YOU GOTTA REALLY LOOK TO FIND IT. IN ANY CASE LIKE I SAID, THE RECORD PLAYS GREAT, AND THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ON ANY OF THE PLAYING SURFACES TO CREATE ANY PROBLEMS. BESIDES WHAT'S WRITTEN ON THE COVER PROBABLY BY HENRY, SOMEBODY WROTE MARRING FOR $ IN ORANGE FELT TIP PEN AND THERE'S A ROUND KIND OF GLUE RESIDUE SPOT NEAR THE TOP WHERE A STICKER WAS PROBABLY REMOVED. THE RECORD COMES WITH A COLLECTORS TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
