RANDY NEWMAN 78 rpm Promo Only 10" Single I THINK IT'S GOING TO RAIN TODAY

An ultra rare Reprise promotional only 78 RPM 10" single of Randy Newman's I Think It's Going To Rain Today/Beehive State, issued as part of Reprise's non-existent "78 RPM Speed Series" along with a sarcastic press release announcing this series and Newman's first single, the debut (and end) of the series.  This was a promo item for Newman's 1968 self-titled debut album.  In VG++ condition, probably unplayed and with very minor surface marks from the press release being inserted into the sleeve. 

This is the only example we've ever seen of this very rare--and very funny--promo record.

We grade all records visually, cover first, then disc; using the abbreviations M / NM / EX / VG with + and -. We try to describe everything as accurately as possible, and spot check any vinyl flaw that looks like it might make a sound. We regularly receive praise for our grading, but as all grading is subjective, we are happy to give a full refund for anything you aren't happy with no questions asked.

Unlike some eBay sellers, we don't feel the need to hype records by including long reviews or albums, quoting lyrics, making up arcane variations. We just grade accurately, describe any flaw, and sell only high quality rare records in fine condition.
