HERE IS THE RARE 1991 BRITISH TEST PRESSING OF FRANK ZAPPA'S " SHIP ARRIVING TOO LATE TO SAVE A DROWING WITCH " MANUFACTURED BY MAYKING RECORDS FOR THE MUSIC FOR NATIONS VINYL REISSUE LP. AS YOU FOLKS MAY KNOW  TEST PRESSINGS ARE THE FIRST RECORDS WHICH ARE MADE FROM THE PRESSING PLATES FOR THE PURPOSE OF CHECKING OUT THE SOUND QUALITY AND IN SOME CASES THE CONTENT. BEING THE FIRST RECORDS PRESSED MEANS MUCH BETTER SOUND QUALITY AND THIS RECORD HAS INCREDIBLE SOUND QUALITY.

THE RECORD IS NEAR MINT WHICH MEANS THAT I COULDN'T FIND ANY SURFACE MARKS ON THE PLAYING SURFACE WHILE LOOKING AT THEM UNDER A PAIR OF 100 WATT LIGHT BULBS. I ALSO PLAYED BOTH SIDES AND AS I HAVE STATED EARLIER, INCREDIBE SOUND QUALITY WITH NO SURFACE NOISE. BOTH OF THE LABELS SHOW NO WEAR AND HAVE THE MAYKING RECORDS NAME, LOGO AND TEST PRESSIG PRINTED ON THEM, AS WELL AS A PLACE TO WRITE IN THE CATALOG NUMBER AND DATE. ALSO THE NUMBER 01-924 1661 IS PRINTED ON BOTH LABELS. ON SIDE A IS A STAMP WITH "A" AND 29 AVRIL 1991 AND ALSO SOMEBODY WROTE " ZAPPA 42 " IN THE SPACE FOR THE CATALOG NUMBER. ON SIDE B THERE'S JUST A STAMP WITH "B". . THE RECORD COMES WITH A GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET THAT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING PRINTED ON IT. THE RECORD ALSO COMES WITH A BRITISH VERSION OF A COLLECTORS TYPE OF PLASTIC INNER LINED PLASTIC INNER SLEEVE AND JUST WHEN YOU WERE THINKING " WOW MAN, WHAT MORE COULD I WANT? " A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE IS PROVIDED FOR ANY UNEXPECTED INTIMATE MOMENTS THAT YOUR RECORD MAY EXPERIENCE BECAUSE IT HAS THE SONG " VALLEY GIRL " RECORDED ON IT.
