Description

Up next for bidding is an INCREDIBLY RARE PROMOTIONAL COPY of the 1974 album "Radio City" by Big Star, released on Ardent Records!


This vinyl record includes press info and clippings inside of a custom Ardent folder, and yes..,, it is a special edition promotional copy!


Big Star, known for their influential blend of power pop and art rock, released this album (the band’s second) during the heyday of their career….sadly this album was never properly distributed, with very few copies going out to the press and to radio.


This rare promotional copy allows collectors and fans to enjoy a piece of music history with unique insights into the album's release and promotion.


The overall condition is Very Good +++, with only some light surface noise. The cover is also in the same condition, with the press materials in mint condition with no damage, stains, or other issues


(Please note: A previous owner of the record claimed there was slight warping on the first song on both sides - I have played this album as a test, and found NO WARPING.)


So if YOU are a BIG STAR fan (or KNOW one), you KNOW what to do…


Bid hard. Have fun. And thanks for coming by!


ALL AUCTIONS MUST BE PAID IN FULL WITHIN FIVE DAYS OF THE AUCTION’S ENDING DATE - NO

EXCEPTIONS.


Shipping costs are dependent upon the buyer’s location.


Happy Bidding…cheers!
