Description
PPL (Phonographic Performance Limited) 50th Anniversary Promotional Single (1984).
We've not seen this before and can't find another copy for sale anywhere - we've briefly listened to the record and it appears to be a narrated story of PPL, presented in a slightly amusing tone in places - perhaps the most interesting aspect of the recording is that features a slew of famous recording artists from the past (see photos), including a A side devoted to the dance bands of Ambrose, Roy Fox, Jack Payne and Lew Stone with a B side comprising of Vera Lynn, Ted Heath, Lita Roza, Tommy Steele, Lew Bill Haley, Len Barry, Dave Dee, Dozy Beaky Mick & Tic and perhaps most notably, T-Rex (Marc Bolan), Slade, The Jam, Mike Oldfield and Kraftwerk.
Presumably this was some sort of industry only promotional item similar to the Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody - EMI Export award single or the Virgin Records Lentilmas flexi?
We can only hazard a guess as to how many of these were pressed, but it must surely be in the hundreds, if not less - at present we can't see another copy for sale or sold anywhere online.
Certainly it's a rare item that is unlikely to appear for sale again for a while and would make the perfect item for the fan that already has almost everything else!
We graded this VG+ / EX - Sleeve Graded first - there is no major damage to the item which is entirely free of creases or handwriting - we've graded it as such due to storage wear, mainly limited to the outer part of the gatefold sleeve, which is finished in a non-laminated matt gold finish. There is also a minor amount of foxing to the inside fold and a little dirt from storage which could easily be cleaned off - we'll leave that to the lucky recipient, should they wish to do it!
This 7" 33rpm is one of many demonstration or promotional singles we are currently listing - each one will be sent in a polythene sleeve with the record itself placed in a separate new die-cut plain paper sleeve if a picture sleeve or rare company sleeve is present, sandwiched between two stiffeners in a 7" single mailer - combined postage is available and we will pack the records accordingly.

Our postage rates are as follows:
