1970 - RUMPLESTITLSKIN - - U.K. STUDIO MUSICIANS RARE PSYCHEDELIC / HARD ROCK - 12" VINYL RECORD ALBUM - THIS IS THE ORIGINAL U.S.A. BELL RECORDS TEST PRESSING LP - INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET - BELL 6047 - CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS

IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS LISTING, YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW WHAT THIS ALBUM IS ABOUT. IN THE U.S.A. IT WAS RELEASED IN A NON-FOLDOUT CARTOON ALBUM COVER WHILE IN GERMANY THE COVER WAS GATEFOLD WITH A SEXY DRAWING INSIDE. IT'S A GREAT ALBUM THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT. THE MUSIC IS PRETTY GOOD TOO. THESE WERE U.K. STUDIO MUSICIANS AND THEY KNEW HOW TO PLAY. THE BASS PLAYER IN HERE REALLY STANDS OUT. PERHAPS THE MOST WELL KNOWN SONG FROM THIS ALBUM WOULD BE "SQUADRON LEADER JOHNSON". 

SIDE ONE CONTAINS: MAKE ME, MAKE YOU - POOR BILLY BROWN - KNOCK ON MY DOOR - NO ONE TO TURN TO.

SIDE TWO CONTAINS: MISTER JOE - PATE DE FOIS GRAS - RUMPLESTILTSKIN - SQUADRON LEADER JOHNSON.

BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD PLAY GREAT WHEN I PLAYED THIS RECORD ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE. THIS KIND OF CARTRIDGE TRACKS BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD GROOVE. VISUALLY MOVING BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD AROUND UNDER A 100 WATT LIGHT BULB, THERE'S NO SCRATCHES. IF YOU HOLD THE RECORD AT AN ANGLE YOU CAN SEE SOME WHAT LOOK LIKE SCUFFS, BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT THEY'RE SCUFFS BECAUSE THEY'RE IN A PATTERN. THEY MIGHT JUST BE SMUDGES OR MAYBE STAINS CREATED WHEN THE RECORD SAT IN THE ORIGINAL WHITE PAPER INNER SLEEVE FOR 40+ YEARS. ANYWAY, THEY DIDN'T AFFECT THE PLAY, AND ALL I DID WAS WIPE THE DUST OFF THE RECORD WITH A DISCWASHER WAND, I DON'T HAVE A FANCY RECORD CLEANING MACHINE. THE GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET HAS SOME YELLOWING , A CREASE AND SOME RING WEAR. NO SEAM SPLITS. NO WRITING AND HEY, IT'S ONLY A GENERIC CARDBOARD JACKET ANYWAY. THIS TEST PRESSING DIDN'T COME WITH A RECORD INFORMATION OR AS THEY'RE CALLED LABEL COPY SHEETS , BECAUSE THE SONG TITLES, TIMINGS ARE PRINTED ON THE LABELS. I KEPT THE ORIGINAL WHITE PAPER INNER SLEEVE AND PUT THIS RECORD IN A BRAND NEW HIGH QUALITY PLASTIC LINED INNER SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
