Description

Offered for sale is an exceptionally nice original red vinyl test pressing of the Japan-only compilation LP All About the Mamas & the Papas by the Mamas & the Papas, including the original obi.

About this copy: This copy of All About the Mamas & the Papas is an original 1968 white label test pressing for the Dunhill/Stateside label, pressed on “Everclean” red vinyl.

This disc has plain white labels with the catalog number stamped on the side one label.  The side two label is blank.

The gatefold cover is M-, with trace wear at the corners.  The obi is VG, with a few wrinkles, a few small tears, and a small (1 cm square) piece missing.  The “hojyuhyo”, or reorder tag, is still attached.

The lyric insert is missing.

The red vinyl test pressing disc is M- and looks unplayed.  Clean disc!

A beautiful copy of a terrific and very rare Mamas and Papas LP.

Background:  The Mamas & the Papas were quite popular in Japan, and several compilation LPs were issued there that were not released anywhere else.

All About the Mamas & the Papas was released in 1968 and contained tracks from the group’s first four albums, along with a Cass Elliott solo track, “California Earthquake.”

The LP has the same cover as the American LP Farewell to the First Golden Era, Vol. 2, but with a completely different track listing.

First issues of the album were issued on the Stateside label and were pressed on red vinyl.  The 1971 reissue was on the Probe label; those pressings were black vinyl only.

Tracks are:

  • California Earthquake
  • Monday Monday
  • For The Love Of Ivy
    You Baby
  • Twist And Shout
  • Glad To Be Unhappy
  • In Crowd
  • California Dreamin’
  • My Girl
  • Boys And Girls Together
  • Spanish Harlem
  • Do You Wanna Dance
  • Safe In My Garden
  • Dream A Little Dream Of Me
