Description
THIS IS A ONE-SIDED - 12 INCH PROMOTIONAL RECORD FOR THE MOVIE & SOUNDTRACK. IT IS NUMBERED “DCLA 1316” AND HAS THE INITIALS “UI” WHICH PROBABLY STAND FOR THE PRODUCTION COMPANY, UNIVERSAL INTERNATIONAL.
I’VE INCLUDED PICTURES OF BOTH LABELS. THE REVERSE IS A BLANK WHITE LABEL AND THE RECORD HAS ONLY INFREQUENT GROOVES ON THAT SIDE INDICATING IT IS NOT TO BE PLAYED.
THE REAL BEAUTY OF THIS RECORD IS THE PACKAGING. I’VE INCLUDED FRONT AND BACK VIEWS OF BOTH THE UNIQUE DIE CUT PILLOW-LIKE COVER AS WELL AS THE INSIDE PULL-OUT DEVICE IN WHICH THE RECORD IS TO BE NESTLED FOR EASY REMOVAL.
THIS RECORD IS VG+ AND THE COVER PACKAGE IS IN GENERALLY VG TO VG+ CONDITION. THE “HANDLE” OF THE PULL-OUT DEVICE IS A BIT BENT, CRUMPLED AND WORN, NO DOUBT BECAUSE IT DOES STICK OUT FROM THE RECORD AND COVER AND IS THUS SUBJECT TO SPACE LIMITATIONS AND MISHANDLING. LIKEWISE, THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE COVER, WHICH IS SOMEWHAT OVERSIZE FOR THE RECORD (ABOUT AN INCH LARGER ALL THE WAY AROUND) IS ALSO BENT AND CRUMPLED BUT NOT AS BADLY AS THE PULL-OUT.
THAT BEING SAID, THIS IS STILL A VERY PLEASING PACKAGE IN VERY NICE CONDITION, ESPECIALLY FOR ITS AGE, PROBABLY DATING BACK TO 1959.
THE SECOND EDITION OF “JERRY OSBORNE’S OFFICIAL PRICE GUIDE TO MOVIE/TV SOUNDTRACKS AND ORIGINAL CAST ALBUMS” PUBLISHED IN 1997 LISTS THIS ITEM ON PAGE 504. I HAVE BEEN WATCHING FOR A COPY ON eBAY FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND HAVE NOT SEEN ONE OFFERED UNTIL VERY RECENTLY.
NOTE: BECAUSE OF ITS RARITY AND UNUSUAL PACKAGING, FOR SHIPPING, THIS RECORD WILL BE REMOVED FROM ITS ORIGINAL PACKAGING AND OTHERWISE PROTECTED IN SOME OTHER COVER. THE ORIGINAL COVER AND PULL-OUT DEVICE WILL BE ENCASED IN STIFF CARDBOARD TO PROTECT THEM FROM BENDING, ETC. DURING SHIPPING. THE WHOLE RECORD AND COVER PACKAGE WILL BE FURTHER PACKED AS I WOULD PACK A FRAGILE 78 RPM RECORD, WRAPPED IN BUBBLE WRAP OR FOAM AND CUSHIONED BY PACKAGING PEANUTS IN A LARGER BOX.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!
PAYMENT: I only accept payment through PayPal! Payment must be received within 3 days of auction's end.
