RARE Test Pressing MCA-DAY The Eternal 7" Illuminating Vinyl Record Beastie Boys

Description: RARE Test Pressing! Official MCA-DAY event release! Never sold in stores! Screenprinted, glow-in-the-dark, rejected test pressing of the MCA-Day 7"The original idea was to have the MCA-DAY logo screen-printed on the B-Side in metallic silver, on the glow-in-the-dark vinyl so when the lights are out, you can read "MCA-Day" on the actual vinyl. But the screen-printing did not print perfectly in the one inch diameter around the center hole since vinyl presses don't press records perfectly flat around the center hole. Hence the screenprinting must avoid having art too close to the hole or it will bleed a bit.Though it's nothing aesthetically major, the creative director & label decided to scrap this idea and create labels for one side along with the die cut jacket which resulted in the final numbered edition of 10 won by fans at the MCA-Day event in Brooklyn.What's also unique about this record is that the audio is only on one side of the record–opposite the screen-printed side, unlike the final release which has the audio pressed on both sides.Comes in a black inner-sleeve, stamped with the official MCA-Day logo in silver metallic paint.Information about MCA-Day and the recording:On June 15th, 1998, Adam Yauch along with members of Congress, human rights activists and musicians gathered at the U.S. Capitol to stage a rally in support for human rights in Tibet. Preserved on this 7” is Yauch’s message of world peace from that day. This record serves to carry forward Adam Yauch’s eternal message of world peace that’s celebrated on MCA-Day, an annual tribute event honoring the life of musician & humanitarian of the legendary Beastie Boys.Ships Globally.
