Weird one here.
An advanced copy of a White Lion single that was being passed around between directors/executives/whatever at Atlantic Records, with note still attached to sleeve. Addressed to Mr. Sudakoff, from Marc Nathan. IDK who those people are, they must have been important back in the day. A quick google says that Marc Nathan passed away this year last April, and is responsible for signing Barenaked Ladies and 3 Doors Down and such.
"Tell Me" is off of White Lions "Pride", which came out in 1987. So This has to be around then. The official single dropped in 1988, but I cant find a date on it to determine the exact year.
It isn't in the besttttt condition, actual vinyl wise, could be better for sure, but still pretty solid!
Lore aside, White Lion shreds. Vito Bratta is so criminally under-rated it should be illegal. I would go to war for that man.
See pictures for info / details / and condition! If you have any questions feel free to ask, I will get back to you as soon as I can! Thanks!
Further reading: Stephen Page, Solo Career and Singer for Barenaked Ladies:
“Marc was a record person of the highest order,” Page wrote following his death. “He was absolutely and passionately obsessed with music and amassed an encyclopedic memory for songs, charts and artists. He played a huge role in my career and in my life — a role that arced across our entire shared timeline. Marc was a guy who loved big, emotional music and also too-smart-for-its-own-good pop and had a huge soft spot for silly novelty songs too. We kind of fit the bill perfectly for him and he got us. Marc took our demo tape to Seymour Stein at Sire records, and, thankfully, Seymour got it. While everyone else was calling us a throwaway, Seymour looked at Marc and said, ‘They’re a Simon and Garfunkel for the ‘90s.’ Marc was always especially proud of his involvement, and I’m eternally grateful to him for it."
