Description
THIS IS A ONE-SIDED PUBLISHER'S DEMO ACETATE OF RANDY NEWMAN SINGING HIS OWN SONG "MAMA TOLD ME NOT TO COME", A BIG HIT FOR THREE DOG NIGHT AND RECORDED AS WELL BY THE LIKES OF MICHAEL JACKSON AND THE JACKSON FIVE. ACETATES ARE NOT MEANT FOR REPEATED PLAY, THEY ARE USUALLY GLASS (BLACK IN THIS CASE) ON A METAL BASE AND DETERIORATE WITH EVERY PLAY, THE NEEDLE WEARING THE GROOVES. THIS DISK HAS SURFACE WEAR, TWO CIRCULAR SHALLOW MARKS THE SIZE OF THE LABEL AS WELL AS OTHER DEFINITE WEAR. IT PLAYS AS I REMEMBER, BUT I HAVEN'T PLAYED IT IN DECADES, AND ONLY PLAYED IT ONCE THEN (GIVEN IT'S AN ACETATE I CAN'T GUARANTEE IT WON'T SKIP AND IT WILL CERTAINLY BE NOISY). RANDY WROTE HIS FIRST NAME IN BLUE INK TO IDENTIFY IT ABOVE THE "JANUARY MUSIC" COMPANY TYPED ID ON THE LABEL WHEN IT WAS RECORDED, AND IT'S INSCRIBED "ALL THE BEST" TO ME (FIRST NAME ONLY) IN FULL, WHICH HE DID AFTER A TOWN HALL CONCERT (HE WAS VERY SURPRISED TO SEE IT HAD SURVIVED). I CAN'T REMEMBER IF IT WAS THE SAME TAKE AS HIS ISSUED RECORDING, BUT IT CERTAINLY WOULD BE UNMIXED AT LEAST. IN THE ORIGINAL PLAIN SLEEVE. BESIDES SIGNING THIS, RANDY TOLD ME HIS BARBRA STREISAND STORY...
UNIQUE ITEM, THEY USUALLY ONLY PRESSED ONE COPY OF SUCH ACETATES, USUALLY FOR THE COMPOSER TO HEAR IT - THEN HE MIGHT SEND IT TO A POTENTIAL PERFORMER HE HOPED WOULD RECORD IT, WHICH IS WHAT WAS DONE WITH THIS I BELIEVE.
WRITTEN YEARS BEFORE RANDY, HEIR TO THE LEGACY OF SO MANY NEWMAN HOLLYWOOD COMPOSERS, BECAME DISNEY'S FAVORITE SOUNDTRACK COMPOSER.
