Description
THE GTO'S - [ GIRLS TOGETHER OUTRAGEOUSLY ] - CIRCULAR CIRCULATION / MERCY'S TUNE - 7 " VINYL RECORD 45 RPM PROMO SINGLE - STRAIGHT RECORDS WHITE LABEL PROMO - ST - 104.
YEAH, THIS IS A GTO'S PROMO SINGLE PRESSED ON FRANK ZAPPA'S STRAIGHT RECORDS LABEL. THE MUSIC ON BOTH SIDES IS WRITTEN BY LOWELL GEORGE LATER OF THE BAND LITTLE FEAT. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THE GTO'S WERE THE SHORT VERSION IS THAT THEY WERE A BUNCH OF GROUPIE TYPE OF VERY STRANGE GIRLS WHO USED TO HANG AROUND AT THE LOG CABIN WHERE FRANK ZAPPA WAS LIVING AT THE TIME. THEY HUNG AROUND THERE SO MUCH THAT FRANK FINALLY SAID, WHY DON'T YOU GIRLS DO SOMETHING USEFUL AND PUT TOGETHER SOME MUSIC?, SO THEY DID AND THE ALBUM PERMANENT DAMAGE WAS THE RESULT. OF COURSE THERE'S MORE TO THIS STORY THAN THAT, SOME MEMBERS OF THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION WERE INVOLVED WITH THIS ALBUM AS WELL AS JEFF BECK AND OTHERS.
THE 7" VINYL RECORD HAS A FEW SURFACE MARKS ON SIDE A, AND A FEW VERY SMALL ONES ON SIDE B. BOTH SIDES PLAY THRU NICE AND LOUD WITH SOME SURFACE NOISE IN PLACES. THERE IS A DATE WRITTEN IN BLUE INK BUT IN SMALL NUMBERS OF 8-21-69 ON SIDE A WHICH IS PROBABLY THE DATE THAT THIS PROMO SINGLE ARRIVED AT WHATEVER RADIO STATION THIS SINGLE WAS SENT TO OR MAYBE JUST THE RELEASE DATE.
IN ALMOST 30 YEARS OF COLLECTING ZAPPA AND RELATED ITEMS I'VE NEVER SEEN A STOCK COPY OF THIS SINGLE, BUT I WOULDN'T DOUBT THAT ONE EXISTS. IN THAT TIME PERIOD I'VE ONLY SEEN 3 OR 4 OF THIS WHITE LABEL PROMO, SO IT'S VERY RARE AND BECOMING VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND THESE DAYS.
PAYMENT MY PAYPAL OR MONEY ORDER IN US DOLLARS.
PAYMENT MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 10 DAYS OF THE AUCTION END. DON'T BID IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY WITHIN THIS TIME FRAME. THANKS.
