Description
A QUITE SUPERB, AND MOST LIKELY UNIQUE CHANCE TO OWN THIS INCREDIBLE SEALED BOX SET FROM PINK FLOYD. HARD TO FIND IN ANY KIND OF CONDITION, LET ALONE BRAND NEW AND SEALED!!
THIS IS THEIR "97 VINYL COLLECTION". THIS IS A 7 ALBUM SET THAT WAS RELEASED IN AUGUST OF 1997.
DIGITALLY REMASTERED AND RELEASED IN VERY LIMITED NUMBERS WITH DIFFERENT ARTWORK ON THE COVERS, AND ENCASED IN A DIE-CUT ART BOX WITH A CUT OUT IN THE CENTRE.
ON ITS ORIGINAL RELEASE, IT WAS WRONGLY PRESSED ON 130g VINYL, AND THESE SETS WERE IMMEDIATLY WITHDRAWN, AND SUPPOSEDLY DESTROYED ( I HAVE SEEN 2 COME UP FOR SALE, SO THEY DIDNT KILL 'EM ALL!!). THEN THEY REPRESSED THE LIMITED EDITION ON SLABS OF 180g VIRGIN VINYL. NOW I AM PRESUMING THIS IS A 180g SET, BUT HAVE NO CERTAIN WAY OF KNOWING, AS IT IS 100% SEALED IN ITS ORIGINAL PACKING. I HAVE WEIGHED IT AT 2.6kg, AND THAT POINTS TO IT BEING THE 180g. I CANNOT GUESS THE WEIGHT OF EACH INDIVIDUAL ALBUM, AS THERE ARE DOUBLE ALBUMS, GATEFOLD COVERS, INSERTS, ETC ETC TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT, BUT WHICH EVER IT IS, IT IS A VERY RARE ITEM INDEED. I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT IT AS AN INVESTMENT MYSELF, BUT WE ALL KNOW HOW TIMES AND CIRCUMSTANCES CAN CHANGE, SO HERE IT IS, UP FOR GRABS!!
SO THIS IS WHAT THE BOX SET CONTAINS:-
1. HEAVY DUTY CARDBOARD SLIP BOX COVER (SEALED)
2. PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN.
3. THE WALL.
4. ATOM HEART MOTHER.
5. RELICS.
6. WISH YOU WERE HERE.
7. ANIMALS.
8. DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.
9. FLOYD BACK CAT. INSERTS IN ALL ALBUMS.
THIS IS WHAT I KNOW FOR A FACT IS ENCLOSED. WHAT I DO NOT KNOW IS IF THE ORIGINAL POSTERS AND POSTCARDS ARE IN THERE, THAT IS FOR ITS NEW OWNER TO ESTABLISH!
THE COVER TO "RELICS" IS A TOTAL REWORK OF THE OLD WHITE PICTURE (SEE "PINK FLOYD ARCHIVES" FOR PHOTO). ALL THE COVERS HAVE A CENTRE STICKER WITH A BLURRED IMAGE ON IT.
THE SOUND SHOULD BE STUNNING. THIS IS A NO EXPENSE SPARED SET, MUCH LIKE P.U.L.S.E. AND COMES ABSOLUTELY STONE MINT AND SEALED. THIS MAY VERY WELL BE THE ONLY UNOPENED SET IN EXISTANCE, WHO KNOWS, BUT WHAT A CHANCE FOR SOMEONE.
HAVE A GOOD LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK AND BID WITH COMPLETE CONFIDENCE. I WILL OFFER A 100% REFUND AND PAY POSTAGE IF THIS DOES NOT LIVE UP TO MY DESCRIPTION. I HAVE PUT A LOW START PRICE, BUT THERE IS A REASONABLE RESERVE ON IT BEARING IN MIND HOW RARE THIS IS.
I WILL PACKAGE IT VERY ROBUSTLY, AND POST QUICKLY. I WILL DISCUSS INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS WITH THE WINNER AT END OF SALE. I AM WILLING TO SELL WORLDWIDE, BUT OVERSEAS BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE- THIS IS A HEAVY PACKAGE!! IT WEIGHS 2.6kg BEFORE I START WITH PACKING MATERIAL WEIGHT- THIS IS GOING TO COST ALOT TO POST AND IT WILL BE SENT "SIGNED FOR" AND THE COST I HAVE PUT IN THIS ADVERT IS AN ESTIMATE ONLY!! TRUE COST WILL BE OBTAINED WHEN I KNOW WHICH COUNTRY IT IS GOING TO, AS COSTS VARY GREATLY!!
THIS IS RARE IN THE EXTREME, AND PROBABLY A ONCE IN A LIFETIME CHANCE TO OWN A SEALED VIRGIN BOX SET THAT IS NOW ALMOST 12 YEARS OLD. A MUST HAVE COLLECTORS PIECE!!

JUST HAD SOME INTERESTING INFORMATION PASSED ONTO ME FROM A GOOD FRIEND AND FELLOW FLOYD FANATIC.
THIS SET,AND ITS WEIGHT CORRESPONDS TO A SET HE OWNS, AND THAT IS ONE OF THE "DESTROYED" 130g SETS. THIS MAKES THIS EVEN RARER THAN I THOUGHT. THE RAREST BOX SET, SEALED AND MINT! THIS IS NOW FAR MORE COLLECTABLE, AND FAR MORE VALUABLE!! THIS IS QUITE PROBABLY THE ONLY SEALED SET IN EXISTANCE. NOW YOU CANNOT MISS THIS ONE!
