Description
You are viewing the following listing:
Artist: Japan
Title: Gentlemen Take Polaroids
Label: Virgin
Release year: 1980
Format: 7” single in picture sleeve
Rarity: super rare! Probably a one-off opportunity to get the five-band line up of the band! This copy is beautifully signed on the front panel by David Sylvian, Mick Karn, Richard Barbieri, Rob Dean and Steve Jansen. This is an amazing find and will look simply amazing framed.

A redacted copy of my invoice will be provided providing confirmation of the authentication service provided by Roger Epperson was applied to this item Lot number 176, September 2021.
Description: please note the following description, and I am focussing on the condition of the fragile paper sleeve and the signatures, not that of the record which is ungraded and un-played by me as with minimal intrinsic value.
Front panel: minimum excellent plus (+) condition. Tiny amount of wear on the top edge from storage of the record, with no edge wear, rips or tears! Stunning front panel! Very light creasing from handling impression from the vinyl record.
Signatures: all have signed in final pen and are noted and graded as follows:
Rob Dean: blue fine biro stunning no smears or missing ink or sun fading minimum 9/10!
Steve Jansen: as per Rob Dean, with tiny, tiny smearing on the ‘S’ having signed ‘S Jansen’ 8.5/10
Richard Barbieri: minor smudging on the ‘R’, having signed ‘R Barbieri’ 7/10
Mick Karn: super fine black pen with light and fine ink 8/10
David Sylvian: bold signature in fine black ink above the image of his head and looks stunning! 9/10
Rear panel: due to minor grubbiness, rubbing and ring marks from the record I would grade this panel as very good plus (+) condition.
