1974 - FRANK ZAPPA - ONE SIZE FITS ALL - 12" VINYL RECORD LP - COLUMBIA RECORD PRODUCTIONS SANTA MARIA - USA - TEST PRESSING - MATRIX NUMBRS - DS 2216 / 31374 /5 -1B/C  KENDUN A/B.

FIRST OF ALL FOLKS, THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENT MATRIX NUMBERS ON THE TRAIL OUT, [ DEAD WAX AREA AT THE END OF THE RECORD ] THAN YOU'LL FIND ON REGULAR STOCK RECORDINGS WHICH MEANS THAT THIS 12" VINYL RECORD LP TEST PRESSING WASN'T MADE FROM THE SAME PRESSING PLATES THAT THE REGULAR STOCK COPIES WERE MADE FROM. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL FIRST USA TEST PRESSING FOR FRANK ZAPPA'S CLASSIC " ONE SIZE ITS ALL " ALBUM.  DO KNOW THAT " KENDUN " REFERS TO KENDUN RECORDERS, A RECORDING AND MASTERING STUDIO IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA WHERE THE FIRST TEST PRESSING OF THIS ALBUM WAS PROBABLY PUT TOGETHER. FRANK ZAPPA USED KENDUN RECORDERS FOR MANY OF HIS PROJECTS IN THE 70'S AND EARLY 80'S. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY THIS ALBUM WAS GOING TO BE PART OF SOME FIVE OR PERHAPS 10 RECORD SET ORIGINALLY WHICH MAY BE THE REASON FOR THE 3134 B/C. MAYBE ORIGINALLY THERE WERE SIDES A/D, BUT THAT IS JUST SPECKLED SPECULATION. 

SECOND THIS RECORD SOUNDS INCREDIBLE, PROBABLY THE BEST SOUND QUALITY THAT I'VE EVER HEARD FOR THIS ALBUM, AND THAT INCLUDES AS AMAZING AS IT MIGHT SOUND, THE JAPANESE VINYL RECORD PRESSING OF THIS ALBUM. YES, I'VE LISTENED TO BOTH THE JAPANESE STOCK AND PROMO COPIES OF THIS ALBUM AND THIS TEST PRESSING KICKS THEM BOTH IN THE BEHIND. THERE ARE VIRTUALLY NO SURFACE MARKS THAT I COULD SEE ON THIS RECORD EXCEPT WHAT MIGHT BE ULTRA LIGHT SCUFFS OR JUST WHAT WAS CREATED WHEN THE RECORD WAS PRESSED, IN ANY CASE THERE WAS NO SURFACE NOISE THAT I COULD HEAR ON EITHER SIDE, LIKE I SAID SUPER GREAT SOUND. BOTH LABELS HAVE THE PRINTED COLUMBIA RECORD PRODUCTIONS SANTA MARIA AND THE USUAL STUFF THAT YOU'D FIND PRINTED ON THE LABEL OF A TEST PRESSING. SOMEBODY WROTE THE NUMBERS # 1 & 2 ON EACH SIDE OF THE LABELS. THE RECORD COMES IN A COLLECTORS TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE OF COURSE AND ALSO A GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET WHICH NEVER HAD ANYTHING PRINTED ON IT ORIGINALLY BUT SOMEBODY WROTE THE TITLE OF THE ALBUM, THE CATALOG NUMBER AND TEST ON THE FRONT. FINALLY A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE IS PROVIDED IN THE EVENT THA YOUR RECORD ENCOUNTERS SOME SLEAZY JOAN JETT LP.
