Description
THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL LP PRODUCED TO MARK THE OPENING OF THE RCA. RECORD FACTORY IN WASHINGTON (UK) ON 7TH. MAY 1970! IT WAS ONLY GIVEN TO SELECTED DIGNATARIES, BOTH FROM THE US AND THE UK. WHO ATTENDED THE OPENING CEREMONY! 24/4/14, JUST BEEN INFORMED BY A FELLOW EBAYER, WHO HAS A COPY, THAT THERE WERE 200 ONLY, PRESSED! THE COVER IS A BRIGHT GOLD AND HAS "RCA" EMBLAZONED ACROSS THE FRONT! THE INSIDE OPENS UP LIKE A BOOK AND GIVES A FULL ACCOUNT OF THE BUILDING OF THE FACTORY AND WHEN IT WAS IN PRODUCTION! I HAVE TRIED TO SHOW AS MANY PHOTOS AS POSSIBLE BUT SOME OF THE TRANSPARENT "PLASTIC" SLEEVES HAVE WRITING ON THEM EXPLAINING DETAILS OF HOW THE FACTORY OPERATED ETC! THERE IS ALSO A PHOTO OF THE FINISHED FACTORY ON 14.9 ACRES! THERE ARE MORE PHOTOS OF THE INTERIOR OF THE FACTORY WHEN OPERATIONAL AND A BEAUTIFUL FULL PAGE FULL COLOUR PICTURE OF THE AMORIAL COAT OF ARMS OF THE "WASHINGTON DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION", WHICH WAS THE COMPANY INVOLVED WITH THE ALLOCATION OF THE LAND AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUILDINGS! THERE IS ALSO, ON THE LAST CLEAR INSERT INFORMATION, A PAGE ON THE HISTORY OF WASHINGTON AND THE "WASHINGTON OLD HALL", WHICH IS WHERE GEORGE WASHINGTON,( OF US. FAME), GOT HIS NAME!(HIS FAMILY EMIGRATED TO THE US. BEFORE GEORGE WAS BORN, BUT OBVIOUSLY THE NAME WAS CARRIED ON!) LASTLY THERE IS A PAGE AT THE BACK OF THE INNER SLEEVE THAT SHOWS PICTURES OF THE ARTISITS THAT PERFORM ON THE RECORD AND AS I SAID THERE IS A CLASSICAL SIDE AND A POP SIDE!
