VERSUS

SECRET SWINGERS

TEENBEAT 222

RARE ORIGINAL U.S. VINYL!

UNPLAYED!

A rare opportunity to bid for this unplayed original U.S. vinyl from Versus on Teenbeat! I bought the album new, in a sale,

and have just carefully stored it ever since!

Sleeve: Thick card with the front cover showing four small colour photos against a red background, bordered on two closed sides by a white

strip and a blue border along the open edge. The photos show, top to bottom, left to right, one of the Baluyut brothers on the 'phone, Fontaine

Toups' reflection in a bathroom mirror, a bird's eye view of something I can't identify, plus the catalogue number, and Fonatine Toups on a bed

with one of the Baluyut brothers, plus the word 'secret'. The word 'versus' is printed in blue down the side of the first picture, 'swingers' is in black

along side the second photo, and 'Versus' appears against the side of the third image. The teenbeat logo is printed twice by the first photo, with

the barcode (7 92487 02221 6. The number '222' is printed at right-angles after the last digit.). Bottom-left are four small black-and-white head

shots of the band members, together with their names and album credits. The teenbeat logo appears twice, bottom-left, in the white border, with

the number '222' in blue just above. There is a small gold logo of the label design which says 'VERSUS NEW YORK' across the spine. The text

'jealous again, jealous like a true American' is printed top-left in the white border and across the top reads 'recorded by nicolas vemhes at rare

room.' In the top-right corner is the text 'versus. secret swingers. teenbeat 222. The back cover is an enlargement of the bed photo, flipped over

so that the figures appear to be on opposite sides. Track listing and album credits are shown in a small box between the heads of the bed

occupants. Track listing for Side Two is also shown in the white border down the left-hand side, together with a photography credit for 'andrew

bordwin'. The record company address is printed top-left, at the edge, with the band name, album title and catalogue number in the opposite

corner. Track listing for Side One is shown in the white border down the right-hand side., together with the number '222' in red and two copies

of the teenbeat logo. The sleeve is in fantastic condition, still in the original factory shrink-wrap which is only split along the open edge to allow

access to the disc! The cover is intact with no tears, repairs, stickers, bumps or notations! There is just the merest hint of wear at the exposed

bottom-right corner edge and an extremely light mark/bump in the centre of the front open edge and at the top-right corner! Aside from these

issues, the sleeve is in awesome shape!

Insert: 216mm x 280mm double-sided white paper, printed with teenbeat 1996 catalogue details. Intact and unmarked!

Inner Sleeve: Plain white, slightly shaped paper. There is a 70mm central split in the bottom edge and a 10mm split on the

left-hand side, where the open edge meets the stuck-down fold.

Matrix Numbers: Side One - The letters 'R' and 'C' appear in a large 'S' followed by TB 222-A

Side Two - The letters 'R' and 'C' appear in a large 'S' followed by TB 222-B

This is just one item from my own extensive and eclectic personal collection of music and related bits and pieces which I will be listing over the next few months, or so.

I have been collecting for more than 30 years, so check back regularly to see what other gems I may have unearthed - they won't be listed in any particular order! My

recent absence from eBay has been because of work commitments but, as they seem to have dried up, I will be spending more time disposing of my collection!

I am not a dealer, so won't use traditional grading terms but, instead, will describe each item as carefully and honestly as I can with text and photos. Bidders are then free

to form their own opinions. Any apparent marks showing in the photos are reflections or dust, etc., unless otherwise specifically identified. If in doubt, please contact me

with any queries before bidding and I will get back to you promptly with an answer. I will also keep you informed throughout the whole ebay process.

All vinyl will be packaged in sturdy cardboard mailers with at least one stiffener and will be despatched within 2 working days of payment being received. PayPal is preferred,

but please contact me before bidding to discuss alternative, acceptable methods. Postage rates: UK Standard - 2nd Class £3.10, Europe/R.O.T.W - AirMail Standard

£7.00/£11.50.

Please note that I do not combine postage. All items are packaged and sent individually, so as to minimise damage and/or loss.

Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding!
