Description
This is an original 12" single vinyl record, not a Cd, or DVD. It is guaranteed original, not a re-issue.
This classic vinyl pressing is from my personal collection. I was a New York City nightclub DJ from 1972 through 1988, and I am auctioning off most of my classic record collection for others to enjoy. Some of the labels (or covers) contain written musical notation for the opening (drum) hook. This convenience minimizes the so-called "cue-burn" that many other DJ's get when they keep playing the same spot on the records' opening hook at the beginning of a song. I've done this for clean play, which is now to your advantage.
Since I was at the beginning of the emergence of the disco era, these records have lots of history to them. This record was never in a record store being manhandled by hundreds, if not thousands of careless people. The only other caring fingerprints on this record could have been from other professional DJ / artists of my time such as: the legendary Walter Gibbons (DJ remixer) Jim Burgess (DJ / Producer / Remixer) Ray F. Caviano ( RFC Records / Producer) Eddie Rivera (International Disco Record Center) Jenny Costa (WKTU guest DJ), David Mancuso (The Loft at 99 Prince St. / Record Pool) or David Morales (For The Record / Def Jam / Producer / Songwriter / Remixer). If this record could talk!
All of my auctioned records are in excellent condition, and can be programmed in clubs today, to the likeness of quality they had "back in the day" otherwise they will not be listed.

Hardly played original pressing. Vinyl is in near mint condition. (I only call records mint if they are still in shrink-wrap and unopened, which doesn't mean they are flawless.) Since allmost all 12" promotional copies produced in that era didn't come shrink wrapped, this eliminates my category of "mint" for DJ copies, but this copy is impeccable! Fresh and clean, absolutely no paper scratches, bright luster, no label wear whatsoever, no ringwear, tight spines, no fading, kept in a smoke free well ventilated, dehumidified, air-conditioned environment for decades.
I recieved this Promo copy at David Mancusos' Record Pool at "The Loft" at 99 Prince St. in 1976. It is one of the most beautiful instrumental classics to come out of that era.
This "underground" promo copy was given to only a selected group of top Disco DJ's 30 years ago.
I will extend to you this vinyl classic dream , the same way it was presented to me over three decades ago...in its original cover. I've bought brand new vinyl from stores that weren't in this good condition.
This Warren Schatz ("Turn the Beat Around") number is an all time classic, and DJ / collector's dream. The white RCA label "NOT FOR SALE" proudly states on the top, that this is no ordinary record. This ultra-rare "underground" record is one of the first pressings, loud and clear, for DJ's only, played only once or twice at some of the top clubs in NYC.
This actual record caused thousands to scream, and dance to.
Record Collectors: You know what this record will go for so:
bid wisely on this great piece of musical history. Best to you.
