BILLY PRESTON Encouraging Words (Unique Test
Pressing for the 1970 UK 13-track LP by the 'fifth Beatle',
scheduled for release on September 11 1970 on Apple Records,
recorded in London with George Harrison & guest starring
George, RingoStarr, Eric Clapton, Klaus Voormann, various
members of Delaney & Bonnie plus The Temptations & Sam &
Dave's band. Includes the Lennon-McCartney penned 'I've Got A
Feeling' as well as the earliest released versions of Harrison's 'All
Things (Must) Pass' & 'My Sweet Lord' [George famously sued
for plagiarism a few months after this song was released!]. The
labels are plain white & the B-side label is annotated with the
artist name & a reference to 'Track 6' [All Things Must Pass],
with the Apple catalogue number 'SAPCOR-14' & 'A-1U/B-1U'
matrices stamped in the run-outs. Housed in an Apple Recordings
company inner, this incredibly rare Apple label test pressing was
obtained from the private collection of the late British song
arranger Johnny Arthey, whose string arrangements for this
album remain uncredited to this day. Only a small select handful
of these would have been made for sonic review purposes
before the official release, never intended for sale to the general
public. With no other test pressings known to exist, the vinyl
remains nice & clean & in Excellent condition with just a few
minor spindle marks & the odd faint hairline not affecting play.
Preston was famously the only non-Beatle musician to be given a
credit on a Beatles recording at the band's request - Backed with
great provenance, this is a superb find for the dedicated
Apple/Fabs collector & a true one-off SAPCOR14).
