THE-BEAT-PSYCH-PROG-ROCK
Hi, Its time to clear out most of my records. As you will see by my user name I am very into mainly music from 1964-1973.I was lucky to be around at a great time in the UK and I was able to see most of the classic bands and I collected some great records. I am very clued up about different UK pressings as I have collected vinyl for around 30 years. I will be adding some gems from now on from my collection. I have taken great effort in my pictures so that you will see my items are very carefully graded, I think my pictures will show this. Please E -mail me with any questions you may have and keep an eye on my auctions as I will make this site very interesting.
<< GREATEST HITS (Promoters Copy) >>
<< MEGA RARE 1981 EMI PROMOTERS STEREO UK WITH 5 EMI PROMO PHOTOS AND 2 A4 PRESS BOOK SHEETS (12 pages) +FACTORY SAMPLE COVER (EMTV 30) >>
With top bands in the UK EMI sometimes made some fantastic promotional items and this is certainly one of them. The LP comes with 5 stunning MINT high quality Black & white EMI promo photos with 2 stapled press information sheets (6 pages each). The LP cover has a factory sample sticker. The LP is a -1-1 with a single 1 on the left hand side of the dead wax!!!!!!;this is now not easily found on this LP as it sold a vast amount many repressing where needed to keep up with the demand with the matrix numbers rising. I got this LP from a reviewer who worked on a well known music paper at the time. This is a fantastic and very rare Queen item and would be the crown jewels in and collection. Look at all the pictures you will see how nice this rally is.
The Record
The record is in outstanding condition and and I would say it has not been played with no spindle marks on the mint labels. I will grade as top NEAR MINT for both sound and visual grading. If you want a top original pressing this will not disappoint.
MATRIX NUMBERS > EMTV 30 A-1/ EMTV 30 B-1
Stamping Codes > Side 1....1 / 2 Side 2....1& 1over 6
The Labels
As you will see by the pictures the labels are superb.I will grade as MINT condition , They are perfect.
The Cover
Not like the rest of the set the cover does have some natural wear but is still in nice shape. This is the original matt finish cover with some light surface wear, the edges and spine are still fine and the Factory sample sticker is perfect. I could of easily put a better cover on this as they are not hard to find but this one has an original factory sample sticker and it has housed this superb package for 23 years and in my opinion they should stay together. As you will see by my pictures the cover is still nice and I will grade as NEAR EXCELLENT Condition.
The EMI Promo Photos
All 5 8"x10" EMI promo photos are stone MINT condition,they have been left inside the LP cover for 23 year and have not been handled, they are really stunning.
The 2 A4 Press Sheets (12 pages)
Both press A4 books are in NEAR MINT condition. One is a biography by Ray Coleman. Both have much information about this LP.
The Inner Cover
The original picture card inner cover is in wonderful condition ,I have placed the LP in a new inner to stop damage when in the post.
Final summary
This is a very rare item and would be the crown jewels in any serious Queen collection.
