Description
ORIGINAL WHITE LABEL TEST PRESSING FROM 1966. DATED: 6-23-66 - THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION -"IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE" - 7" VINYL RECORD - 45 RPM- VERVE RECORDS - VK-10418. THE B-SIDE OF THIS 7" IS BLANK. FROM THE ALBUM " FREAK OUT ", THIS IS THE FIRST 7" SINGLE THAT WAS EVER RELEASED BY THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION. THIS SUPER-RARE VERVE TEST PRESSING PRE-DATES THE STOCK AND PROMO COPIES OF THE 1ST OFFICIALLY RELEASED 2-SIDED MOTHERS SINGLE WHICH SHARES THE SAME CATALOG NUMBER AND IS DATED 6-29-66. THE MORE COMMON PRESSING INCLUDES "IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE" AS WELL AS "HOW CAN I BE SUCH A FOOL?". I COULDN'T FIND ANY OCCURANCES OF A SALE OR LISTINGS IN ANY PRICE GUIDE OF THIS SCARCE 1-SIDED TEST PRESSING OF "IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE", AND I ASSUME THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST OF THE ZAPPA/MOTHERS RELEASES, THIS BEING ONE OF THE FEW COPIES IN EXISTENCE. ZAPPA COMPLETISTS WHO THOUGHT THEY HAD IT ALL WILL STAND CORRECTED... VK-I0418 AND 100526-1 ARE ETCHED INTO THE RUNOFF WAX ON THE A-SIDE, AND THE B-SIDE (WHICH IS BLANK) HAS THE INITIALS "CG" IN PEN ON A COMPLETELY WHITE LABEL AND EXP-1-110-L.P.D. ETCHED INTO THE RUNOFF WAX. VINYL IS CONSERVATIVELY GRADED A STRONG VG++, CLOSE TO NM- WITH SOME SMALL PAPER SCUFFS AND VIRTUALLY INAUDIBLE SURFACE NOISE. THERE ARE NO HARD MARKS ON THE VINYL, AND NO SKIPS, POPS, OR ANY IMPERFECTIONS THAT DIMINISH THE SOUND OR QUALITY OF THE RECORDING. Shipping is $4 U.S., Which includes a tracking number. Winning bidder must pay within 7 days of end of auction or items will be relisted and negative feedback will be posted INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS MUST PAY TO HAVE THIS 45 REGISTERED SO I CAN PROVIDE TRACKING INFO FOR A TOTAL COST OF $14... THANKS FOR LOOKING, AND HAPPY BIDDING!
