Description
HI FOLKS. I RECENTLY MADE WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE THE FIND OF A LIFE TIME . A HUGE COLLECTION OF RECORDS FROM A RADIO D.J. HERE IN ZIMBABWE. ALL OF THEM WERE PRESSED HERE AND GIVEN TO HIM AS SAMPLES FOR HIS RADIO SLOTS IN THE HOPE THAT AIRPLAY WOULD GENERATE SALES . HE HAS SINCE LEFT THE COUNTRY AND I AM NOW OFFERING THEM FOR SALE. THESE ARE THE VERY FIRST AFRICAN PRESSINGS MADE OF THESE RECORDS AND ARE WITHOUT A DOUBT THE RAREST AFRICAN 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 AUCTION WITH NO RESERVE IS THIS SUPER RARE SINGLE OF
PRINCE , PURPLE RAIN / GOD
PRESSED IN SOUTH AFRICA . CAT NUMBER WBS 469
THE VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. FEW LIGHT HAIR LINES WILL NOT AFFECT PLAY. THE LABEL TO SIDE ONE HAS RESIDUE FROM WHERE STICKERS WITH RADIO STATION CAT NUMBERS WERE. THERE IS ALSO A STAMP THAT SAYS 'STEAM RADIO' WITH AN ADDRESS.THERE IS A FADED PURPLE STAMP THAT READS 'SAMPLE RECORD NOT FOR SALE' ALSO SOMEONE HAS WRITTEN 'RUBBISH!!' IN SMALL WRITING IN PEN WITH AN ARROW POINTING TO TITLE. CLEARLY THE D.J. WAS NOT IMPRESSED WITH THE SONG. SIDE TWO IS CLEAN. SEE THE PICTURES. STEAM RADIO WAS A LOCAL RADIO STATION WAY BACK IN THE DAY.
NOT SURE HOW MANY ARE KNOWN IN THE WORLD. I IMAGINE THE LAST ONE THAT WILL SURFACE AND A D.J. SAMPLE TO BOOT.
RECORDS SHIPPING TO ITALY ARE CHARGED FOR REGISTERED / SIGNED FOR DELIVERY DUE TO POSTAL DELAYS IN THAT COUNTRY. 7 GBP.
.
A NICE ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION. WILL BE SHIPPED ANYWHERE WORLDWIDE FOR STATED FEE. WILL BE PACKED IN STIFF BOARD AND SENT AIRMAIL. ALL RECORDS SOLD FOR OVER 50 GBP ARE SENT REGISTERED / SIGNED FOR AIRMAIL.
RECORDS SHIPPING TO ITALY ARE CHARGED AT 7 GBP REGARDLESS DUE TO POSTAGE DELAYS I EXPERIENCE WHEN SHIPPING TO ITALY.
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.
IMPORTANT!!!
