ATTENTION AMERICAN RADIO,THE BEATLES,ELVIS PRESLEY AND COLLECTORS OF PROMOTIONAL ONLY RECORDS! HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1981 PROMOTIONAL ONLY PREVIEW ALBUM FOR AN AMERICAN RADIO DOCUMENTARY SERIES: "THE HISTORY OF ROCK AND ROLL". MADE IN A SMALL QUANTITY OF PROBABLY NO MORE THAN A FEW HUNDRED COPIES(IF THAT-POSSIBLY AS FEW AS 100) SENT OUT TO VARIOUS CAREFULLY SELECTED AMERICAN RADIO STATION DIRECTORS WITH THE AIM TO SELL THE ENTIRE SERIES FOR BROADCASTING IN 1981.THE MAJORITY OF THESE PREVIEW KITS UNLIKELY TO HAVE BEEN RETAINED BY THE PEOPLE THEY WERE SENT TO AS ONE SIDE IS OF HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROGRAMMES INCLUDING THE MEMORIES,STORIES AND TRACKS OF THE PERFORMERS,PRODUCERS DJs OF THE TIME INCLUDING JOHN LENNON,ELVIS PRESLEY,DIANA ROSS ETC. ON THE OTHER SIDE,A FASCINATING "BEHIND THE SCENES" TYPE PRESENTATION ON HOW THE SERIES WAS COMPILED INCLUDING DESCRIPTIONS WITH EXAMPLES OF HOW TRACKS WERE MIXED,REMIXED,SPOKEN WORDS ALTERED TO FIT THE MUSIC ETC-REMEMBERING THIS WAS PRE-COMPUTER TRICKERY WITH THE OLDER WAY OF PHYSICAL TAPE EDITING AND VINYL RECORDS! THIS LP IS IN STEREO AND HAS VERY CLEAR SOUND! BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN PLAYED ONLY ONCE BEFORE MY TEST PLAY BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO HAS KEPT IT IN PRISTINE CONDITION AND WORKED IN THE RADIO INDUSTRY! THERE IS AN A4 SIZE WALLET CONTAINING VARIOUS INSERTS,INFORMATION SHEETS,PHOTO LEAFLETS AND EVEN A SHORT LENGTH CASSETTE HOUSED IN A SPECIAL OUTER BOX WHICH HAS A LITTLE EDGE WEAR BUT YOU'LL BE UNLIKELY TO FIND ANOTHER EXAMPLE AS THIS WAS ONLY MADE FOR THE RADIO INDUSTRY AND EVEN IF YOU DO,MOST IF NOT ALL THE CONTENTS WILL BE MISSING! MOST OF THE COPIES THAT WERE MADE ARE NOW IN THE HANDS OF PRIVATE COLLECTORS WHO ARE UNLIKELY TO SELL! EITHER WAY IT'S SERIOUSLY RARE AND WELL WORTH MY LOW AND REALISTIC £20 PRICE!
THE DISC HAS A COUPLE OF ULTRA TINY AND FAINT,WISPY SURFACE MARKS.HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE!
NO NASTY LOUD CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS!
STRICTLY GRADED NEAR MINT CONDITION!
CLEAN LABELS WITH NO SPINDLE WEAR!
This is the first set I have ever found in 30 years as a dealer! The previous owner has been a collector for at least 40 years and worked in the radio industry hence owning this set which is from a collection that I will be offering various items for auction or set sale on ebay over the next few months!
Make sure you keep me in your favourites file or book in automated alerts so as not to miss out on LPs that are rarely seen on ebay or anywhere!
Some of the albums have never been reissued and of course are bound to increase in value.
There will be some LPs with"special extras"such as Autographed covers,usually missing inserts and alternative covers,Private pressings+of course as you would expect from me,in most cases,1st editions!
As ever I will be grading strictly and providing any information required. KEEP WATCHING!!!
The majority of the albums in this collection have not been played for years and are for the most part in Near mint or Excellent condition,having been hardly played and when they were only played with extreme care on superb equipment!
The vast majority of copies sold of this preview only album were often played on poor equipment or taken to parties,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind!
An ideal opportunity to add a VERY RARE album in superb TOP condition to your collection that is bound to rise in value!
POSTAGE REFLECTS THE WEIGHT OF THIS PACKAGE-MORE THAN A STANDARD LP DUE TO THE BOX AND THE VARIOUS CONTENTS.
