Description
CAPTAIN BEEFHEART & THE MAGIC BAND 1970 ORIGINAL & UNIQUE FRENCH STRAIGHT LABEL 45 C006- 91200 PACHUCO CADAVER b/w WILD LIFE WITH UNIQUE PICTURE SLEEVE. SUPERB MINT- CONDITION.
THIS IS AS NICE A COPY OF THIS EXCEEDINGLY RARE 45 AS ONE MIGHT HOPE TO ACQUIRE. IT ESSENTIALLY HAS NO FAULTS. EXTREMELY CLEAN, COMPLETE WITH PRICE / INVENTORY TAG, ONLY THE MOST MINOR WEAR IS EVIDENT ON THE SLEEVE. THE VINYL IS BRIGHT & GLOSSY, I RATE IT VG++++ / MINT - VISUALLY, DEPENDING ON WHAT SORT OF LIGHT THE DISC IS EXAMINED UNDER.YET HAPPILY IT IS SOCLOSETOMINT AUDIBLY THAT IT IS ALMOST DIFFICULT TO KNOW THAT IT IS A VINYL, AND NOT A MASTER TAPE!! THE SOUND QUALITY, BEAUTIFULLY MASTERED AT 45RPM IS STUNNING. DON'S VOICE LEAPING OUT OF THE SPEAKERS WITH ENORMOUS PRESCENCE & VITALITY. ALL THE INSTRUMENTS PLAY CLEAN & CLEAR.
IT PLAYS PERFECTLY!! ZERO SURFACE NOISE IS AUDIBLE ON THE INTRO TO EITHER SIDE OF THE DISQUE. QUITE REMARKABLE, REALLY, JUST HOW PERFECTLY THIS 45 PLAYS. I AM SO TEMPTED TO GRADE IT AS MINT. BUT I REALLY TRY & REFRAIN FOR USING THAT GRADING. BY MY GRADING STANDARDS 90+ % OF ALL RECORDS ARE NOT MINT EVEN BEFORE THEY LEAVE THE FACTORY. THEY ALMOST ALWAYS HAVE SOME MARK, SCUFF, WISPY LINE, ETC... EXCEPTIONS CAN BE MADE FOR CERTAIN EUROPEAN & JAPANESE PRESSED VINYLS FROM THE 1960'S & 70'S, THE HIGH QUALITATIVE STANDARDS OF THESE RECORDS IS WELL KNOWN TO ALL SERIOUS COLLECTORS. BUT FROM THE MID 1970'S ON, TO MY WAY OF THINKING, PRODUCTION STANDARDS ESSENTIALLY COLLAPSED. SO THE SUPREMELY HIGH QUALITY OF THIS PRESSING IS A PLEASURE TO REPORT.
OF COURSE THESE TWO SONGS CAN BE FOUND ON "TROUT MASK REPLICA". HOW THESE WERE EVER SANCTIONED FOR RELEASE AS A 45 IS ONE OF THE GREAT MYSTERIES & WONDERS OF THE ERA. THE FACT THAT THIS IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THE MOST LEGENDARY & SCARCEST 45'S OF THE ERA BEARS OUT THIS FACT. NOBODY BOUGHT IT. IT HAS BEEN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND SINCE THE EARLY 1970'S. THE UNBELIEVABLY COOL SLEEVE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER. THIS IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THE SCARCEST FRENCH ISSUED 45'S OF THE LATE 60'S /EARLY 70'S. IT IS IN A LEAGUE WITH OCTOPUS & BUTTERFLY DANCE, BOTH ALSO PRESSED BY PATHE MARCONI
THIS MAY WELL BE THE RAREST COMMERCIALLY ISSUED CAPTAIN BEEFHEART 45 RECORD ON THE PLANET.
THIS ITEM CERTAINLY QUALIFIES AS ONE OF THE RAREST BEEFHEART RECORDS IN THE WORLD.
