JIMMY BUFFETT: "LIVINGSTON SATURDAY NIGHT" PROMO 12" SINGLE 33 BUT WITH ONE SONG.
"Livingston Saturday Night" This a recording that appeared on Son of a Son of a Sailor, the 8th studio album by Jimmy Buffett. It is a reference to Livingston, Montana, where his brother in law and old Key West friend, Tom McGuane the writer, had a home. After Mr. McGuane divorced Margot Kidder (with whom he had a daughter Maggie), McGuane subsequently married Mr. Buffet’s sister Laurie Buffet. On a visit to Livingston, Mr. Buffett wrote “Livingston Saturday Nights,” about cowboys and bars and poolrooms.
The record for sale was part of a collection of unusual Jimmy Buffett records that was assembled by a devout Parrot Head over a period of about thirty years. The record is somewhat out of the mainstream of Mr. Buffett’s records, and so likely appeals to collector assembling a full set of his U.S. recordings, or just want to hear songs you may not have heard - and your friends don’t have.
This record is the size of a typical U.S. long playing record (a/k/a an “LP”) at twelve (12) inches. It is vinyl and not shellac like 78 rpm records. This record has two sides. But it's a single tune, for use on party, club or rave turntables.
It comes in its original cardboard cover. The cover is not paper like the typical U.S. 45 rpm record. Inside is a blank sheet “dust cover.” Like most vintage ones, the sheet cover shows folds and cuts.
This record is a so-called “cut out.” When phonograph records were the primary sound recordings of music, manufacturers would cut the corner, punch a hole, or add a notch to the spine of the cover jacket of unsold records returned from retailers. These "cut-outs" might then be re-sold to record retailers for sale at a discounted price. Typically, a special section of a record store was devoted to such records in “the cut-out bin.” These records were sold for a lower price than the record company expected. The lower price resulted from their being unsellable otherwise. So there’s a certain rareness to records that were “cut outs.” Not enough people bought the copy at the list price.
This record is a so-called "Promo Copy.” Back in the day, a Promo Copy was a single record the record companies made available to radio stations, music publications and other media outlets to promote the song or an album. Such a single is usually recognized by promotion-specific terms stamped on the disc label or its cover like: "For Promotional Use Only" and "Not For Resale". They were supposed to be returned to the record company, or certified as destroyed, but promo copies of popular songs were often kept, typically by radio station employees. Here’s one by Mr. Buffett.
The record covers all have shelf wear. As near as I can tell, no one in our Family ever played this record. It’s essentially as purchased. Please study the photos and feel free to ask any questions. I will combine shipping from Miami, Florida.
