‎McLean, Don‎

‎Don McLean: American Pie.‎

‎New York: United Artists 1971. Don McLean's personal test pressing of American Pie before mass production gifted in 1971 to his former sister-in-law. A 12-inch vinyl test pressing with paper labels on both sides and the album itself etched with the word "Peace" and codes "UAS-5535A" and "UAS - 5535B". Signed by Don McLean on both paper labels and dated "8-17-71" with the code "UAS - 5535A" on the verso and "UAS - 5535B" on the recto. The album is housed in its original plain brown sleeve with McLean's handwritten tracklisting of each song title. In fine condition with the sleeve in very good condition. Accompanied by two letters of provenance one from McLean's former sister-in-law and one from session bassist Rob Stoner who has offered his recollections of the session and the test pressing. Together with a new copy of the album featuring the famous cover art. A unique piece of musical history. The album was recorded in the summer of 1971 with test pressings going to McLean and United Artists in August before its October release. Recorded at the Record Plant in Manhattan McLean surrounded himself with a crack band of session musicians including Paul Griffin Rob Stoner and David Spinozza. Rob Stoner credited on American Pie as Bob Rothstein describes meeting McLean at his house to listen to this test pressing of American Pie. In that room at that moment the two men must have known they'd struck gold. Around this time the copy of the test pressing given to McLean for review was gifted to his then sister-in-law. This was before the fame that came with the album transitioning a song into a national treasure. Just one example among many: the song "American Pie" hit the Billboard 100 chart in 1972 and set a record for the longest song to hold the top position for nearly 50 years. Said McLean "There is something to be said for a great song that has staying power." Critics and fans alike raved about the album's title track which documents a uniquely American form of innocence lost. American Pie is a triple-platinum album and has gone down as a cultural touchstone covered parodied analyzed and referenced for decades. United Artists unknown‎

‎Ars Typographica. Volume II Number 2. October 1925‎

‎New York: Douglas C. McMurtrie 1925. A much better copy than usually found. Cover is in Very Good condition but for a small 1" by 1/8th" chip at the lower right corner of the front wrap. Internal condition is FINE. NO owner's name or bookplate. Pages are crisp clean and unmarked probably never read. Gustav Mori's study "The Essence of Gutenberg's Invention" fills the bulk of this issue. Mori was librarian and historian of the Schriftgiesserei D. Stempel in Frankfort Germany and spent thirty years in the study of his subject. According to McMurtrie this is "one of the most important contributions to the history of printing which has appeared in English for a number of years. The laboratory methods which he has applied in his efforts to determine the progressive stages in the development of movable type are certainly infinitely superior to the theoretical hypotheses indulged in by earlier writers. He has also brought to the study of the origins of typefounding the experience of a practical typefounder." There is also a 28 page article by McMurtrie on script types. See Ulrich/Kup in 3 places: pp. 14/33/41: "Indispensable for the student of the invention of printing and its spread through the centuries. No student of early printing types should neglect to consult this periodical. It ranks high in research and scholarship. A periodical for the research student of typographical history. Indispensable for comparative study.". First Edition. Oversize Softcover. Very Good - Fine condition. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 103pp. 11 plates. Great Packaging Fast Shipping. Douglas C.
