JULY 20TH 1971 - MOUNTAIN - - NANTUCKET SLEIGHRIDE - 12" VINYL RECORD LP PRE-RELEASE PROMO TEST PRESSING PRODUCED BY FELIX PAPPALARDI BEFORE NANTUCKET SLEIGHRIDE WAS RELEASED AND SENT OUT AS A PROMO WITH AN ALTERNATE COVER ART SLICK - THIS ISN'T SOME BOOTLEG, I WAS TOLD BY RITCHIE DIMARTINO TOLD THAT FELIX HAD 50 OR 60 OF THESE MADE TO SEND OUT AS ADVANCE PROMOS TO RADIO STATIONS AND OTHER MEDIA - HOWEVER THIS ONE IS EVEN MORE RARE AS IT INCLUDES BOTH PROMO PHOTOS AND THE NANTUCKET SLEIGH RIDE ART / SONGS LYRICS BOOKLET AND ONE OF THE PHOTOS IS SIGNED BY IN MY OPINION ONE OF THE GREATEST AND CERTAINLY MOST TALENTED ROCK BASS PLAYERS WHO HAD EVER EXISTED FELIX PAPPALARDI - FELIX SIGNED "TO BRUCE, SHALOM FELIX PAPPALARDI" IN BLUE PEN. AS YOU MIGHT KNOW FELIX PAPPALARDI WAS KILLED, SHOT IN THE NECK IN 1983 BY HIS WIFE GAIL COLLINS AND THE PERSON WHO CO-WROTE MANY MOUNTAIN SONGS AND ALSO CREATED THE ART FOR MANY MOUNTAIN ALBUM COVERS - I LIKE LESLIE, BUT TO ME WITHOUT SUCH A GREAT TALENT AS FELIX MOUNTAIN JUST WASN'T EVER THE SAME BAND - THE BAND CONTINUED WITH DIFFERENT LINE-UPS AND I THINK LESLIE STILL PLAYS GIGS, BUT A FELIX PAPPALARDI SIGNATURE IS HARD TO FIND - MATRIX NUMBERS IN THE TRAIL-OFFS ARE: 5500 S A/B X STERLING LH PR - CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS

NANTUCKET SLEIGHRIDE PRE-RELEASE PROMO 12" VINYL RECORD TEST PRESSING WITH THE ALTERNATE ALBUM COVER WAS PRODUCED BY FELIX PAPPALARDI AND HE SIGNED ONE OF THE PROMO PHOTOS. THE RECORD SOUNDS GREAT, KICKS ASS WITH A FEW FAINT HAIRLINES, NO SCRATCHES, NO CLICKS, POPS OR SKIPS.THE ALTERNATE COVER ART SLICK HAS LIGHT WEAR AND IS GLUED ON A GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET. THE JACKET HAS A SMALL PIECE OF TAPE IN THE CENTER OF THE TOP AND BOTTOM SEAMS. THE SEAMS ARE STARTING TO DEVELOP EDGE WEAR AND SPLITS, BUT I DON'T SEE ANY THAT HAVE SPLIT COMPLETE THRU YET. THIS COVER IS ALMOST 49 YEARS OLD SO NATURALLY IT HAS SOME WEAR AND YELLOWING. SOME BODY WROTE LESLIE WEST IN SMALL LETTERS ON IT TOO. ALSO INCLUDED ARE TWO PROMO PHOTOS ONE OF WHICH IS SIGNED "TO BRUCE, SHALOM FELIX PAPPALARDI" IN BLUE INK. I HAVE OTHER PAPPLARDI SIGNATURES AND KNOW ITS AUTHENTIC, BUT IF YOU DON'T THINK SO SIMPLY DO'T BUY IT. I'M SELLING IT AS IS, NO RETURNS. BOOKLET AND PHOTOS ARE VINTAGE BUT DON'T HAVE ANY SERIOUS ISSUES. CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS.
