UP FOR BID IS AEROSMITHS ORIGINAL 1973 SELF TITLED DEBUT LP ON THE COLUMBIA RECORD LABEL CAT # KC 32005, WITH THE INCREDIBLY RARE MISPRINT OF WALKIN THE DIG INSTEAD OF WALKIN THE DOG. THIS LP WAS RELEASED IN JANUARY OF 1973 WITH THE ORANGE BAND ACROSS THE TOP WHICH CONTAINED THE NAME AEROSMITH AND DID NOT SELL WELL AT ALL. IT WAS RELEASED AGAIN IN 1975 AFTER THE SONG DREAM ON WAS RELEASED AS A SINGLE AND BECAME POPULAR AND THE COVER WAS CHANGED, THE ORANGE BAND AT THE TOP WAS GONE AND THERE WAS A BIGGER PICTURE OF THE GROUP ON THE COVER.
THIS FIRST ISSUE COVER IS VERY RARE TO BEGIN WITH, BUT WHAT MAKES THE COVER HERE EVEN RARER IS THAT IT HAS THE MISPRINT ON THE BACK WHERE THE SONGS ARE LISTED. IT LISTS THE SONG THAT SHOULD BE "WALKIN THE DOG" AS "WALKIN THE DIG". THE COVER ON OFFER HERE IS IN ITS ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINKWRAP AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH A BUMPED BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER AND THE LEFT BOTTOM CORNER HAS POKED THROUGHT THE SHRINKWRAP, OTHERWISE IT WOULD GRADE MINT-. THE VINYL IS MINT- AND PLAYS SUPERBLY.
HERE IS A QUOTE FROM STEVEN TYLER'S BOOK "DOES THE NOISE IN MY HEAD BOTHER YOU?" THIS IS ON PAGE 117. IN THE END WE DECIDED NOT TO USE "MAJOR BARBARA" AND DID RUFUS THOMAS'S "WALKIN THE DOG" (VIA STONES) INSTEAD, WHICH WAS TIGHTER THAN A CRAB'S ASS FROM DOING IT IN THE CLUBS FOR MANY YEARS.ON THE FIRST TEN THOUSAND COPIES OF THE ALBUM THEY SPELLED IT "WALKIN THE DIG". IF YOU HAPPEN TO FIND A COPY, IT'S WORTH ABOUT FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. YOU'D FIGURE WITH ALL THE CASH AND POWER THE LABELS HAD, THEY'D LEARN HOW TO SPELL.
THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE NICEST COPIES OF THIS LP LEFT TODAY, AND YOU WOULD HAVE TO SEARCH LONG AND HARD TO FIND A NICER ONE SO DON'T PASS UP THE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN THIS MEGA RARE LP. PLEASE LOOK AT MY OTHER LPS I HAVE FOR SALE AN EBAY.
PAYMENT IS BY PAYPAL ONLY AND IS TO BE MADE WITHIN 7 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION.
SHIPPING IS $4 BY MEDIA MAIL AND IS WITHIN THE USA ONLY
