Description

VERY RARE Possible Master recording or pre-release preview

Carlos Santana MoonFlower Moon Flower Machine Cut Acetate with Aluminum core Music record.

This is Sides One and Two of a Live/Studio compilation Album.  I do not have sides 3 and 4 of the 2-lp release
Dated 9/1/1977 this is a month before the album was officially released in October of 1977
The track list is the same on side one except for a second or two play time difference listed vs the release play time

Side two has 5 songs listed compared to 4 on the release album. The difference being 2. black magic woman and 3. Gypsy Queen are listed separate.  The release album has them listed as Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen.  However the Liner notes of the commercially released version has the two songs listed separately

The Disc is very Flat, Heavy because of the aluminum and very stable looking with no signs of cracking or chipping of the acetate.
In the pictures you can see the label is typed onto an adhesive center label.  There is a dark spot visible on the label where underneath is the 2nd hole that the recording machine locked it into place.
The outer sleeve has Santana Evil ways (odd since the song isnt on this record) and some assumed cataloging numbers and the name Steve Kahn Kohn?
I can only assume the sleeve has cross outs and random writing b/c the studio recycled the sleeve from other recordings

I have not cleaned or played this album.  The only thing i have done since obtaining this very rare album is put it in a MOFI archive quality Inner sleeve
I have not and will not play this record.  It needs to be professionally cared for because of the specialty nature of acetate recordings.
