Description

Bonnie Raitt  "Green Light"

This is a US vinyl pressing on WB 3630 from 1982.     This is a test pressing.    It comes in a plain white cover with an 8 X 11 info sheet taped to the front.  ( the info sheet is taped on slightly crooked).  The date at the top of the info sheet is November 24, 1981.    Then it shows : release date is February 10, 1982.     At the top of the info sheet it shows : revisions : 11/25/81 Pub. Aff, chg., 12/7/81 writer name, and 1/7/82 Confirmed Timings.     The labels are white and say 'Warner Bros Records Inc, Available only to technical and other authorized personnel for the limited purpose of testing and review.   Not to be publicly performed, reproduced, sold, or otherwise distributed'.

In her back-up band is Ricky Fataar after he was in The Rutles and Ian Mclagen after he was in Small Faces.    Guest background vocalist include Jackson Browne on 'Keep This Heart In Mind' and harmony vocals by Richard Manual of The Band on 'River Of Tears'.   One song is a Bob Dylan cover ( 'Let's Keep It Between Us') and two songs are NRBQ covers ( 'Me And The Boys' and 'Green Lights').         

The matrix numbers are hand etched : Side one : BSK-1-3630-LW2 and Side two : BSK-2-3630-LW1 .

The songs are :  Keep This Heart In Mind, River Of Tears, Can't Get Enough, Willya Wontcha, Let's Keep It Between Us, Me And The Boys, I Can't Help Myself, Baby Come Back, Talk To Me, and Green Lights.

Why are test pressing so rare ??      A test pressing is the very first pressing of a record.    It's made so that the artist, producer, engineer, and record company executives can approve the record.    They are pressed in extremely limited numbers ( like 50 to 100 ) and are never repressed.    They are sent out to selected people before the cover and labels have been printed. 

Overall Condition :  Cover : M- / Record : M

The cover is Mint minus.   There are no seam splits and there is no ring wear.    There is minor corner wear.     The info sheet is in nice condition.     The vinyl looks mint and it plays mint.     The labels have no spindle marks.  

I will package this record between two pieces of 1/2 inch thick cardboard.    ( It's so thick that you will save it and use again. )    It will weigh 21 ounces ( 1 pound, 5 ounces ) when ready to ship.    You can figure out your own postage costs for US Priority or Media Mail.    It will be sent by First Class Mail International to overseas buyers.   ( Buyers from Italy will assume all risks for shipping to their country)   I will send it as soon as you pay ( same day of before 2 PM and next day if after 2 PM )      I will combine postage if you win more than one record.     This record is from a no smoking and no pets home. 

Serious bidder only.   If you bid you must be prepared to honor your bid.    I expect payment within 3 days, but will gladly wait up to seven days, if you contact me.      I no longer accept bids from buyers that have more than two strikes against them.
