Description
HI FOLKS. I RECENTLY MADE WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE THE FIND OF A LIFE TIME . A HUGE COLLECTION OF ALBUMS FROM AN EMPLOYEE OF THE ZIMBABWE MUSIC CORPORATION HERE IN HARARE , ZIMBABWE. ALL OF THEM WERE GIVEN TO HIM AS SAMPLES DURING PRODUCTION . I AM NOW OFFERING THEM FOR SALE. THESE ARE THE VERY FIRST AFRICAN PRESSINGS MADE OF THESE ALBUMS AND ARE WITHOUT A DOUBT THE RAREST COPIES EVER MADE AVAILABLE. I WILL BE LISTING THEM OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS SO PLEASE WATCH MY AUCTIONS FOR SOME AMAZING RECORDS COMING UP.
UP FOR SALE IS THIS SUPER RARE ALBUM OF
IRON MAIDEN , THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST.
PRESSED IN ZIMBABWE.
THE RECORD IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION . QUITE REMARKABLE. TINY NAME IN PEN TO THE TOP OF ONE LABEL.
THE COVER IS A WORN AND SPLIT TO EXTREMETIES, NOW IN A PROTECTIVE PLASTIC SLEEVE.
I RECENTLY SOLD TWO MINT COPIES OF THIS RECORD NOT KNOWING THEY WERE ZIMBABWE PRESSINGS. AFTER LONG DISCUSSIONS WITH COLLECTORS AND MORE RECENTLY WITH THE AN EMPLOYEE OF THE ZIMBABWE MUSIC CORPORATION I CAN CONFIRM 100% THAT THIS IS A TRUE ZIMBABWE PRESSING. THE MATRIX NUMBERS AND WORDS TO THE VINYL RUN OFF ARE IDENTICAL TO THE UK PRESSING BUT THE COVER IS MADE FROM RECYCLED BOARD AND IS EXTREMELY CRUDE. ALSO THERE IS NO MENTION OF E.M.I SOUTH AFRICA TO THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE WHICH WOULD INDICATE A SOUTH AFRICAN PRESSING.
THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE LAST OPPORTUNITIES TO PURCHASE ONE OF THE MOST OBSCURE MAIDEN PRESSINGS. UP THE IRONS !!
RECORDS SENT TO ITALY ARE SENT REGISTERED / SIGNED FOR DUE TO SHIPPING DELAYS IN THAT COUNTRY AND ARE CHARGED 7 GBP SHIPPING.
PRINTED ON RECYCLED BOARD AS IS THE NORM FOR AFRICAN RECORDS. NOTE THAT DUE TO THIS , AFRICAN COVERS ARE NEVER AS GLOSSY AS OTHER COVERS AND ARE MORE PRONE TO WEAR . A NICE ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION. WILL BE SHIPPED ANYWHERE WORLDWIDE FOR STATED FEE. WILL BE PACKED IN STIFF BOARD AND SENT AIRMAIL, THIS TYPICALLY TAKES 2 WEEKS AND IS EXTREMELY RELIABLE, NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT INTERNATIONAL BIDDING.SEE MY FEEDBACK, VERY RARE ITEM NOT OFTEN SEEN ON EBAY. THNX FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK!! ALL RECORDS SOLD FOR OVER £50 ARE SENT REGISTERED / SIGNED FOR AIRMAIL.
RECORDS MADE IN SOUTH AFRICA / RHODESIA / ZIMBABWE WERE PRESSED IN VERY SMALL QUANTITIES MAINLY FOR THE SMALL WHITE POPULATION. THEY ARE NOW BEING RECYCLED AND MADE INTO HAND BAGS ETC AND ARE VERY RARE. SOME DISCOGRAPHIES PUBLISHED DO NOT INCLUDE THESE PRESSINGS AS THEY WERE NOT KNOWN TO EXIST.
ALL POSTAL FOR RECORDS SENT TO ITALY WILL CHARGED AT 7 GBP , THIS IS FOR SIGNED FOR AIRMAIL DUE TO DELAYS IN THE ITALIAN POSTAL SERVICE.
