Description

Here we go - you all know I won the last Bolivian 'Dozen Girls' a day ago and since I am not stocking those I am selling my spare copy right away!

I am upgrading my copy and list my first copy I found back in 1999 - for more than 7 years it was suppose to be the ONLY copy in existence until 2 more showed up on Ebay and sold for amazing money.

But this time I am listing the record with no reserve and a low starting price - let the market and the collectors decide.

Since I am upgrading you can imagine that this copy is not as good as the one I just won so here's a detailed description of all aspects:

Obviously this copy has been in the posession of a local radio station and like so many south American copies the DJ or some other idiot has written down the station and date on the front and back of the record. Here's the step by step description:

FRONT SLEEVE

The overall condition is fine if it wouldn't be for the 'Radio Amboro 7-2-83' pen writing across the sleeve.

BACK SLEEVE

Very similar to the front side: once again 'Radio Amboro 7-2-83' has been written across the sleeve but this time I was able to carefully remove some of the writing with a razor blade and was able to remove a lot of it. as a result the paper in that area is thinner than in the other parts but it is WAY better than when I received it. The top left corner has some tape repair and the bottom left corner as well (much smaller).

Overall I would grade the sleeve a G+, Considering that it is coming from South America and the time that has passed maybe even a VG- but G+ is a fair assesment.

A SIDE

Originally the same radio crap was written all over the label but when I cleaned the record with the vinyl cleaning solution it came off and there are no more signs of it. Overall condition is certainly an ex for both the vinyl and the label. I listened to it and it sounds ok to me - not much bass but c'mon - it's from Bolivia. And it runs on 33 rpm.....

But listen to this! This is the album version but edited!! They blend the song out after shortly after the last chorus line, I would say this song is a good minute shorter!

B SIDE

Originally the same radio crap was written all over the label but when I cleaned the record with the vinyl cleaning solution and it almost came all off, the labels are slighter paler due to the cleaning. Once again overall condition is an ex for the vinyl and a vg+ for the label. I listened to it and it sounds as good as the A side.....

And again - this is the album version just edited - they blend the song out after shortly after the last chorus line, I would say this song is once again a good minute shorter!

So I hope I answered all questions! Please don't hesitate to contact me in case you have any questions - I will answer them as soon as possible!

This is one of the greatest ever damned rarities you all know that - I hpe it finds a good home!

Due to the rarity I only ship registered airmail - that would be 8 US $ worldwide - I accept PayPal, no problem.

Good luck disciples!
