FEBRUARY 26TH 1979 - FRANK ZAPPA - SHEIK YERBOUTI - 2 LP VINYL RECORD TEST PRESSING SET WITH THE ORIGINAL CBS RECORDS, LONDON, ENGLAND RECORD INFORMATION SHEETS - MANUFACTURED IN ENGLAND BY CBS RECORDS - MATRIX NUMBERS - S-CBS-88339-A/B/C/D/-1. 83551-A/B-1. 83359-A/B-1.
THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL 2 LP SET OF TEST PRESSINGS PRESSED PRIOR TO THE RELEASE OF FRANK ZAPPA'S CLASSIC 2 LP ALBUM " SHEIK YERBOUTI " BY CBS RECORDS IN ENGLAND. THESE ARE NOT THE TEST PRESSINGS FOR THE LATER MUSIC FOR NATIONS REISSUE. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS SET OF TEST PRESSINGS IS EXTREMLY RARE AND THEY ARE FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION OF WELL VER 30 YEARS OF ZAPPA AND RELATED ITEMS COLLECTING. I ONLY HAVE THIS ONE SET FOLKS, AND WHEN IT'S SOLD IT MAY BE A VERY LONG TIME IF EVER THAT YOU'LL SEE THIS RECORD SET FOR SALE AGAIN. THE BEST PART ABOUT TEST PRESSINGS IS THAT THEY ARE THE FIRST RECORDS THAT ARE MADE FROM THE PRESSING PLATES AND USUALLY SOUND MUCH BETTER THAN LATER PROMO OR STOCK COPY PRESSINGS AND THESE RECORDS ARE NO EXCEPTION.
BOTH OF THESE RECORDS ARE NEAR MINT. I LOOKED AT BOTH OF THESE RECORDS UNDER A PAIR OF 100 WATT LIGHT BULBS AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING THAT I CAN CALL A SURFACE MARK ON ANY OF THE PLAYING SURFACE AREAS. EVERYTIME THAT I THOUGHT I SAW SOMETING IT TURNED OUT TO BE A SMALL PIECE OF DUST, HOWEVER I DID FIND A COUPLE OF LIGHT MARKS OR MAYBE JUST ONE ON THE TRAIL ON ON ONE OF THE SIDES, BUT THAT DOESN'T COUNT AS IT DOESN'T AFFECT THE PLAY OF THE RECORD. I EVEN PLAYED SOME OF THE SIDES WHICH I USUALLY DON'T DO IF THERE'S NO SURFACE MARKS AND THEY SOUNDED GREAT, PROBABLY A GRADE ABOVE GREAT AND WHAT THE HEY, ANOTHER EXCUSE FOR ME TO LISTEN TO THE GREATEST COMPOSER, BAND LEADER, GUITARIST, PRODUCER IN MUSIC HISTORY. THE LABELS ARE BLANK AND SOMEBODY WROTE THE NUMBER OF THE SIDE ON EACH OF THEM IN RED PEN.
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
