AUGUST 21ST 1973 - MAHOGANY RUSH - MAXOOM - THIS WAS THEIR FIRST ALBUM AND THIS IS THE TEST PRESSING FOR THEIR FIRST U.S.A. RECORDS LABEL - NINE RECORDS IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN - BEFORE THEY SIGNED WITH 21ST CENTURY RECORDS AND THE KOTAI RECORDS LABEL THAT RELEASED THEIR EARLY STUFF IN CANADA - THIS WAS FRANKE MARINO'S TRIBUTE TO JIMI HENDRIX AND FRANK CONTINUED TO SOUND A LOT LIKE HENDRIX THRU-OUT HIS LATER CAREER ANYWAY - WHAT LOOKS LIKE THE ORIGINAL GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET IS INCLUDED WITH THE NINE RECORDS CATALOG NUMBERS AND THE DATE WRITTEN ON IT - THE RECORD LABELS HAVE TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA AND THE USUAL TEST PRESSING DETERMINING TECHNICAL QUALITY STUFF PRINTED ON THEM - THE MATRIX NUMBERS ON THE TRAIL OFFS ARE: T N-936-A-4 N-936-B 1-2 M.HC - CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS

 TEST PRESSINGS ARE PRESSED BEFORE THE ALBUM RELEASE TO DETERMINE TECHNICAL QUALITY AND SOMETIMES EVEN CHECK THE CONTENT. SOMETIMES THE SONGS, SONG ORDERS, MIXES ARE DIFFERENT. I DON'T HAVE THE NINE RECORDS VERSION OF MAXOOM NOR EVEN THE 21ST CENTURY RECORDS OR KOTAI RECORDS STOCK COPIES TO COMPARE IT WITH, SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ANY DIFFERENT. SINCE IT'S THE TEST PRESSING FOR THE NINE RECORDS VERSION, YOU JUST HAVE TO ASSUME IT'S LIKE THAT RECORD.  

AS ALWAYS PRIOR TO LISTING I PLAYED BOTH SIDES ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE. BOTH SIDES PLAY PERFECT. VISUALLY. MOVING BOTH SIDES AROUND UNDER A 100 WATT LIGHT BULB, A FEW LIGHT SCUFFS THAT DIDN'T AFFECT PLAY. NO SPINDLE MARKS ON THE WHITE LABELS EITHER IS SOMETIMES AN INDICATOR THAT A RECORD HASN'T BEEN PLAYED MUCH. THE WHITE GENERIC CARDBOARD JACKET IS OBVIOUSLY THE ORIGINAL, BECAUSE IT HAS SOME YELLOWING SPOTS AND THE DATE WITH THE NINE RECORDS CATALOG NUMBERS WRITTEN ON IT. NO SEAM SPLITS, NICE TO HAVE THE ORIGINAL. THE RECORD ORIGINALLY CAME IN A PLAIN WHITE PAPER INNER SLEEVE THAT HAS YELLOWING AND SEAM SPLITS. I KEPT IT TOO FOR THOSE COMPLETEST TYPES AND PUT IN BACK INSIDE OF THE JACKET. HOWEVER, TO PREVENT ANY FUTURE PAPER SCUFFS ON THIS RARE ALBUM I PUT IT IN A HIGH QUALITY COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE OVER THE JACKET.
