Description

Rare Dave Matthews Band record.  2 sided 12" single of Don't Drink the Water.  Side A plays the 4:35 version of Don't Drink the Water, Side B plays the 6:35 version of Don't Drink the Water.  Comes in white paper sleeve Not much info on this but I have pulled the following from the net.. 'The primary reason the record has been so rarely seen since 98 is because the record itself makes no mention of it being a Dave Matthews Band record.  But the record does have the distinct Before These Crowded Streets cup stain artwork.  So, unless you knew Don't Drink the Water was DMB or recognized the artwork, you'd probably not know this was a DMB record.  
Continuing to research this record since I discovered it a few years ago, I can confirm that most copies were "binned" after they were pressed and there were only about 100 to start, 'maybe 50' survived and were distributed. 'Binned' (thrown out) was the exact word used by the individual who worked for the company that was responsible for distribution of this record (Brain Storm Music Marketing). The sound quality is poor to very poor for all copies.  the records were poorly mastered.'
The Vinyl is not in great condition with plenty of scratches and will need a good clean. I have tested this record on a friends basic turntable and as stated above the sound quality is not great The scratches have added some crackle and the odd pop but I didn't experience 1 jump skip or any sticking on either side. I have done my best with the pictures/ So there we have it, not the best copy in the world but still a great chance to complete your collection These very rarely come on to the market
Will be sent recorded mail in uk and Int' tracked for for the rest of the world
 I remove all records from sleeves for posting and they are sent in a strong musicmax crossform mailer I am no dealer so if records are in need of a cleaning or dusting I will not attempt this as I would not wish to cause any damage
