1968 - SANDY HURVITZ - SANDY'S ALBUM IS HERE AT LAST - 12" VINYL RECORD LP - VERVE RECORDS WHITE LABEL PROMO - V6-5064-X - CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS AND READ WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT DOWN THERE SOMEWHERE - OK LARRY? 

FIRST OF ALL, I'VE NEVER SEEN ANY OTHER THAN THE U.S.A. PRESSING OF THIS LP, NEVER SEEN A MONO PRESSING EITHER. SECOND, SINCE IT WAS NEVER REISSUED MY MGM / VERVE IN 1972 ON WHAT SOME PEOPLE CALL THE "MGM LION WHITE LABEL", UNLIKE OTHER MOTHERS OF INVENTION ALBUMS, THERE WON'T BE ANYBODY SELLING ONE OF THOSE WHILE CLAIMING THAT IT'S A WHITE LABEL PROMO. IN THE CASE OF U.S.A. VERVE MOTHERS OF INVENTION PRESSINGS, THERE WERE A WHITE LABEL AND A YELLOW LABEL MADE OF EACH ONE. NO, UNLIKE WHAT HAS BEEN CLAIMED ONE IS NOT MONO WHILE THE OTHER ONE IS STEREO. ALSO SOME OAF WHO TOLD ME THAT HE WAS AN EXPERT AND REALLY KNEW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT SAID THAT THE WHITE LABELS WERE MADE AT A WEST COAST PLANT WHILE THE YELLOW VARIETY WERE MADE ON THE EAST COAST, AND HE CITED HIS ALLEGED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE VELVET UNDERGROUND. BUT HERE'S WHAT I DISCOVERED, MANY OF THE WHITE LABEL PROMO VARIETY COVERS DIDN'T HAVE A DJ STICKER. THAT'S BECAUSE THE YELLOW LABEL PROMOS WHICH DID HAVE STICKERS WERE SENT TO DJS AT RADIO STATIONS, WHILE THE WHITE LABELS WERE SENT TO RECORD STORES FOR IN STORE PLAY. SO SINCE THERE WERE FAR MORE RADIO STATIONS THAN MAJOR RECORD STORES THAT VERVE WANTED TO PLAY THEIR ALBUMS FEWER WHITE LABEL PROMOS WERE MADE. BUT YEZ CAN BELIEVE WHAT YEZ LIKE, THE FACT IS THAT I'VE BEEN COLLECTING FRANK ZAPPA / MOTHERS OF INVENTION ALBUMS SINCE THE 70'S AND I'VE SEEN FAR FEWER OF THE WHITE LABEL VARIETY. HEY, YOU DON'T HAVE THIS ONE. RIGHT LARRY?  

SIDE 1 HAS: CHILD - THREE HAWKS - ALL THIS TIME GOING BY - WOMAN - THE SUN.

SIDE 2 HAS: MANY DIFFERENT THINGS - YOU'LL DANCE ALONE - TREE OF TREES - ARCH GODLINESS OF PURPLEFULL MAGIC - LOVE IS WHAT I'VE FOUND.

NICE HEAVY CARDBOARD ALBUM COVER. THEY JUST DON'T MAKE EM' LIKE THAT THESE DAYS. HEY, WAIT A MINUTE, THEY DON'T MAKE VERY MANY ALBUM COVERS AT ALL ANYMORE. THERE IS A PROMO HOLE NEAR TE LOWER LEFT CORNER. NO SEAM SPLITS. NO WRITING. NO TAPE. LIGHT EDGE AND GENERAL. THIS IS PRETTY NICE FOR A 47 YEAR OLD COVER.  HEY, SIMPLY PUT ON THOSE GLASSES AND CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS YO'SELF.

HEAVY VINYL PRESSING. BOTH SIDES PLAY REALLY NICE. I USE A DENON TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE GOING TO A HEAD AMP BEFORE THE PRE-AMP. THIS KIND OF CARTRIDGE TRACKS BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD GROOVE AND THERE'S JUST NORMAL LIGHT SURFACE NOISE YOU GET WHEN YOU AMPLIFY A RECORD THIS OLD. RECORD SURFACES LOOK NICE TOO. WHEN I MOVED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD AROUND UNDER A 100 WATT LIGHT BULB, NO SCRATCHES. A FEW SMALL LIGHT SCUFFS AND SOME OF MIGHT JUST BE SMUDGES. THERE'S A STAIN OR SOME YELLOWING ON THE SIDE 1 LABEL. CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS FOR THE LABEL CONDITIONS. THE RECORD COMES IN A COLLECTOR'S TOP OF HIGH QUALITY INNER SLEEVE JUST LIKE THE REAL RECORD COLLECTORS USE, AND JUST WHEN YOU WERE STARTING TO GET WET WITH EXCITEMENT, DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.

YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS ITEM WHEN YOU PURCHASE IT. I'LL TELL YA' FOLKS, THOSE MISERABLE EXCUSES WERE GETTING KINDA' OLD SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: "WHILE REMOVING MY PANTS IN THE RESTROOM AT THE LOCAL BUS STATION, THE SENATOR ACCIDENTALLY PUSHED MY PANTS INTO THE TOILET AND MY WALLET GOT FLUSHED","MY WIFE FINALLY GOT TIRED OF STICKING MY BALLS IN A VICE EVERY TIME THAT I HAD PURCHASED ANOTHER FRANK ZAPPA OR A MOTHERS OF INVENTION RELATED RECORD, SO SHE FINALLY LEFT AND TOOK MY BALLS WITH HER. NOW I'LL NEED THE MONEY TO GO BUY A SET OF NEW BALLS". EVEN IF SOME, IF NOT ALL OF THESE STUPID EXCUSES ARE TRUE.
