Description
DAVID BOWIE , RARE RHODESIA PRESSING , SORROW / PORT OF AMSTERDAM WITH BANNED BLANK TO PORT OF AMSTERDAM.
THE VINYL IS IN VG TO EX CONDITION . LABELS , SEE PICS.
IN ALL MY YEARS OF DEALING IN AFRICAN VINYL I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS RECORD .ALTHOUGH I HAD HEARD IT EXISTED, I NEVER ACTUALLY THOUGHT I WOULD FIND IT. THE BOARD OF CENSORS IN RHODESIA , NOW ZIMBABWE , DEEMED THE SONG RUDE AND UN SUITABLE FOR THE VERY CONSERVATIVE WHITE POPULATION. THEY INSTRUCTED GRAMMA RECORDS TO EXCLUDE THE ACTUAL MUSIC AND CREATE A BLANK TO ONE SIDE. THEY WERE ALSO INSTRUCTED TO PRINT IN BOLD TO THE LABEL THAT THE SONG WAS 'NOT AVAILABLE IN RHODESIA' NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE SOUTH AFRICAN PRESSING. I IMAGINE IT IS ONE OR THE RARER BOWIE TITLES EVER TO COME ONTO THE MARKET. GOOD LUCK SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO BID . GIVEN THE RARITY OF THIS RECORD I CAN SHIP BY DHL OR FEDEX IF THE BUYER PREFERS. I WILL DISCUSS THIS WITH THE WINNING BIDDER.
A NICE ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION. WILL BE SHIPPED ANYWHERE WORLDWIDE FOR STATED FEE. WILL BE PACKED IN STIFF BOARD AND SENT AIRMAIL, THIS CAN TAKE UP TO FOUR WEEKS AND IS EXTREMELY RELIABLE, NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT INTERNATIONAL BIDDING.SEE MY FEEDBACK. 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 RECORDS ARE SENT IN STIFF BOARD.
IMPORTANT!!!
IF U ARE IN ANY WAY DISSATISFIED WITH MY DESCRIPTION OR SERVICE ,PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE OPENING A CASE OR LEAVING FEEDBACK SO IT CAN BE RESOLVED. THANKS , GORDON. I AM AIMING FOR 5 STAR RATINGS ON ALL SALES AND I DO MY VERY BEST TO DESCRIBE RECORDS ACCURATELY. I WILL GLADLY COMBINE POSTAGE.
