Promotional Record

1974 Gibson Ripper promotional record
In 1974 Gibson produced a number of promotional 7" 45 rpm records to promote various new instruments. These included one for the Ripper bass, and one for the Marauder guitar. Unlike the earlier flexi-discs made for the Les Paul Recording guitar and Triumph bass, these were actually made of vinyl, with a proper sleeve.

This disk demonstrated the guitar with, and without, accompaniment, and in a range of styles

Side one: narrated by Richard Evans.

Introduction to the Gibson Ripper: precise settings used are detailed on the back cover

Side two: Bass Meant by funk rock group Chase; bassman Dartanyan Brown gets funky with his new Gibson Ripper.
