JUDAS PRIEST "Unleashed in the East" AUTOGRAPHED PROMO

$

50

Info: This auction item you are looking at is for the U.S. Gold-Stamped Promotional pressing of an AUTOGRAPHED album by Judas Priest called "Unleashed in the East: Live in Japan" that was originally released in 1979 on CBS/Columbia Records (JC 36179). The Gold Stamp is on the upper left of the reverse side of the jacket. The inner sleeve is generic white.

The autographs are in blue ballpoint ink for all five members of the band on the cover except Les Binks: Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton, K.K. Downing, Ian Hill and Dave Holland (who signed the area that Les Binks' autograph would have been if he was still in the band). I did not get this autographed personally but got it from a reliable record store in the era of its release. I have looked online and see that the autographs do seem to look authentic. Plus this was on a Promotional copy... My guess is that this is authentic but I cannot prove it. Please e-mail with any questions or give me your e-mail address in a message and I can send you additional pictures or an extra large picture that you can zoom into yourself.

Condition: The vinyl has light scuff marks and plays like Mint. The inner sleeve has no splits. The jacket has shelf wear consistent with being a promo and is completely intact.

Track Listing:

Side 1: Exciter / Running Wild / Sinner / Ripper / The Green Manalishi (with the Two-Pronged Crown)

Side 2: Diamonds and Rust / Victim of Changes / Genocide / Tyrant

Keep an eye on my listings as I am posting lots of records here over the next several months!

Quality and Storage: Having played these records in my past (or not at all!), I don’t recall any of these records having issues such as being warped or having skips. I never loaned them out, never touched the actual vinyl and have always been a mint-condition freak. In the early days, to cut down on vinyl usage, I used to make and play an audio cassette version made from the vinyl.

As I cannot take an hour to list each item with every possible detail (but will do my best!), I will gladly answer any questions if there is anything specific information you need to know about the listing that I did not cover.

I have only lived in two places over the last 25 years and the records have been living in their own custom-made cabinets inside a non-smoking household. They have never been in storage or abused in any way.

If you are looking for something specific and I have it, I will list it for you upon request.

About Me & My Collection: I was the guitar player/writer in the progressive metal band, CASSLE. (You can find out more on our website.)  Being a huge music fan, I spent many years working in and around the record business in Los Angeles. The famed record chain, Amoeba Records, has been virtually frothing at the mouth to purchase my collection. Since I and a lot of the working world are between jobs right now, I thought it best to sell to the general public.

What the collection offers is lots of old records that were out of print and in decent shape to cut-outs and promo stamped versions, white label promos to immaculate records in store-bought condition to picture discs, colored vinyl, bootlegs and lots of imports from all over the world such as the high quality releases from Germany and Japan. Lots of titles with their original cover art and/or original labels, some in their original unopened shrink wrap! If I bought it new and it had any additional inserts... they will still be there.
