 EAGLES "HOTEL CALIFORNIA" ULTRA-RARE TEST-PRESSING "PROVINO" COPY WITH TEMPORARY COVER AND FUCKING RARE INSERT, ON
ASYLUM RECORDS LABEL.

HERE IT IS A WONDERFULL COPY OF  EAGLES' BEST ALBUMS, "HOTEL CALIFORNIA".
IT'S AN ABSOLUTELY ORIGINAL FIRST ITALIAN PRESSING ON WHITE LABEL TEST PRESSING FROM 1976, WITH TEMPORARY DIFFERENT COVER AND INSERT.

THIS IS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND NOWADAYS IN ANY CONDITIONS.
THIS COPY IS ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE EARLIEST PRESSING EVER MADE  IN ITALY WITH THE FOLLOWING MATRIX
59 W 1084 1 L AND 59 W 1084 2 L , SO 1L/2L......ABSOLUTELY FIRST PRESSING.

BESIDES BEING THIS COPY A VERY VERY FIRST ITALIAN TEST PRESSING, TRAIL-OFF SHOWS ALSO
THE DATE 25 11 1976 AND THE ITALIAN WORD "PROVA", CORRESPOND TO ENGLISH WORD "TEST PRESSING", ON BOTH SIDES.

I WISH TO SPECIFY THAT THE COVER OF THIS COPY IS AN ULTRA-RARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT "TEMPORARY" COVER,
WITH COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ARTWORK. A GREAT GREAT COVER WITH A DRAWING OF AN EAGLE WITH A SNAKE IN HER BEAK: FANTASTIC!
THIS COVER WAS REPLACED WITH THE NORMAL ONE AFTER FEW DAYS, SO IT'S ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND
ANOTHER ONE NOWADAYS: A MUST FOR ALL EAGLES RECORD COLLECTORS.

BESIDES THIS COPY HAS AN INCREDIBLE INSERT NEVER SEEN IN THE CLASSIC WORLDWIDE MARKET COPY, IN PARTICULAR A
FANTASTIC PENCIL DRAWING WITH DEDICATION INSIDE.

THIS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND COPY WAS SENT TO A MUSICAL JOURNALIST IN ORDER TO LISTEN AND MAKE A REVIEW, IN ADVANCE RESPECT
TO ITS MARKET DISTRIBUTION. IT'S A TEST PRESSING WITH TEMPORARY DIFFERENT COVER AND INSERT WITH DEDICATION INSIDE,
ABSOLUTELY THE RAREST ITALIAN EAGLES ITEM: ONE CHANCE IN A LIFETIME.
 
AS REGARDS CONDITIONS, COVER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITIONS, PROBABLY WOULD BE A MINT MINUS COVER BECAUSE CORNERS AND SPINE
ARE ALL OK AND THERE AREN'T PARTICULAR DAMAGES, BUT BEING A WHITE COVER .....IT'S EASY TO DIRT, SO THERE IS A LIGHT
RING WEAR DUE TO THE DIRT. HOWEVER......A GREAT GREAT COVER, BELIEVE ME IN EXCELLENT CONDITIONS.
AS REGARDS VINYL, IT'S IN EXCELLENT  CONDITIONS, WITHOUT SCRATCHES, BAD MARK, SIGNS OR OTHER HEAVY DEFECTS,
REALLY A GREAT VINYL COPY.
BOTH TWO WHITE - TEST PRESSING - LABELS ARE A BIT YELLOWISH, PROBABLY DUE TO THE AGE, WITH A LITTLE SPOT ON THE
BOTTOM OF LABEL SIDE B.
BOTH TWO LABELS SHOWS NAME OF THE BAND, AND TITLE OF LP ON THE TOP AND TRACKLIST ON BOTTOM SIDE PLUS
DATE OF PRESSING.
BESIDES THERE IS THE ITALIAN WORD "PROVINO" (CORRESPOND TO ENGLISH "TEST PRESSING") PRINTED ON BOTH, PLUS
"COPIA NON VENDIBILE" (CORRESPOND TO ENGLISH NOT FOR SALE COPY) HAND WRITTEN ON BOTH.
ULTRA-RARE INSERT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITIONS.

AS REGARDS THE SOUND, I HAVEN'T A RECORD TURNTABLE SO I CAN'T GIVE YOU A DESCRIPTION.
I WISH TO SPECIFY THAT I DO MY BEST IN ORDER TO GRADE THE RECORD IN THE MOST ACCURATE POSSIBLE WAY AND I'M SURE
YOU'LL BE HAPPY.


TO CONCLUDE, ABSOLUTELY THE RAREST ITALIAN EAGLES ITEMS, AND SURELY ONE OF THE BEST COPY YOU CAN FIND FOR YOUR COLLECTION, SO.......DON'T MISS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
