PRINCE ULTRA RARE JAPANESE 7" PROMO ANOTHER LONELY CHRISTMAS PS-1025 Vinyl Near Mint (B-side played once by myself & taped) Sleeve NM-

Japanese Prince collectables

Taken from Uptown issue #11 (October - December 1993)

Japan saw the release of another special promo item in December, 1984. This eight-track 7" single is known as Prince Syndicate (PS-1025). The front cover contains a photo of Prince's dove, Divinity, that was also used in the Purple Rain World Tour program, while the reverse side held a tracklisting. Side A contains the edit version of "Another Lonely Christmas," while Side B features messages (anywhere from four to twelve seconds in length) listed on the label as "Sheila E. introducing 'The Belle Of St. Mark,'" "Sheila E.'s Christmas Message," "Apollonia's Message To Japan," "Apollonia introducing 'Sex Shooter,'" "Apollonia introducing 'Happy Birthday Mr. Christian,'" and "Prince Introducing 'Purple Rain.'" Today (1993) this promo is worth about $350, but a copy of "Prince Syndicate" sold for $600 at a record convention at Hotel Russell in London in 1990. HAVING BEEN A SERIOUS COLLECTOR IN THE EIGHTIES, RECORDS BOUGHT NEW THAT I ALREADY HAD ON LP, CD ETC WERE UNPLAYED BY MYSELF. MINT WERE LEFT AS MINT. WHEN I PURCHASED USED RECORDS, ONCE RECEIVED I WOULD PLAY ONCE THEN GRADE THEM AGAINST SELLERS GRADING, THEN LOG THIS IN MY DISCOGRAPHY. I HAVE GRADED MY COLLECTION AS BEST I CAN AS FOLLOWS: MINT: SEALED NEAR MINT: NOT SEALED / UNPLAYED

N M - :VERY FEW LIGHT SURFACE MARKS AND NO / HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR DETECTED. COVER: HAS ONE MARK OR CREASE.

EXCELLENT: THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. COVER: HAS SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING.

VERY GOOD: THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED, BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY ,DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH . COVER: NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR WITHOUT ANY MAJOR DEFECTS.

GOOD: THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES AND THE SOUND QUALITY HAS DETERIORATED SLIGHTY SOME MILD SCRATCHES. COVER: SUFFER FROM FOLDING, SCUFFING OF EDGES. SPINE SPLITS,DISCOLORATION, ETC.
