Description
This is a limited-edition (numbered 00213) promotional-only album which is hand-signed by Elvis Costello, Pete Thomas, Bruce Thomas and Steve Neive.
Elvis Costello Introduces the tracks from his new album 'Almost Blue' featuring Elvis talking about each track on the album, giving background to the track, before the track is played.
The white sleeve features a pasted drawing of the band by Bruce Thomas on the front and it is autographed by the four members. Please see the close-up images for details. The rear cover is a light-blue tint with the running order and cues.
It is on F-Beat records and the code is E C Chat 1
It was produced in 1981 and was sent to radio stations for publicity purposes.
The label indicates "This is a promotional item, not for resale) on both sides".
The vinyl is in near-mint condition and I don't think it's ever been played. The cover is in very good condition with no marks or stains, just a couple of very minor creases in two corners.
Please note that I am not a dealer or a record collector. The items I am selling are all from the extensive collection of my late brother.
He was a great music and radio enthusiast, working for both BBC and commercial radio stations in the East Midlands from 1980 until 2013 presenting various music shows, mostly folk and rock.
During this period he interviewed many bands and artists in Nottingham, Derby and Leicester and usually had them sign copies of the albums they were promoting at the time. He was also sent many promotional, DJ-only and white-label pressings direct from the record companies.
Sadly my brother passed away in November 2013, so I am slowly disposing of his extensive record collection. He had no family of his own, so according to his wishes we have opened a trust account to help his nephew and two nieces through university, and the proceeds from these sales will be paid into that account.
I will be listing quite a few similar items over the coming months, as there are original signed albums by artists ranging from The Ramones to Bryan Ferry and Sandy Denny, plus some rarities and DJ-only promotional copies.
All LPs will be sent in special secure mailers with stiffeners.
Thank you.
