Description
This is a real Who / Pete Townsend rarity and it's hand-signed (and date-stamped) on the front cover by Pete Townsend himself.
The album is Atco Records SAM150 and it's a promotional album only for radio stations called 'Pete Listening Time', where Pete Townsend introduces the tracks from his new album "All the best cowboys have Chinese eyes".
There are six tracks on side one (total 23 mins) and five on side two (total 18 mins).
The front cover is hand-signed at the bottom by Pete Townsend (see image) and date-stamped 15th June 1982.
The vinyl is in excellent / near-mint condition and has never been played. The cover is excellent condition with just some slight fades at the edges, but no folds or creases. The signature is in blue biro ink.
Please note that I am not a dealer or a record collector. The items I am selling are all from the extensive collection of my late brother.
He was a great music and radio enthusiast, working for both BBC and commercial radio stations in the East Midlands from 1980 until 2013 presenting various music shows, mostly folk and rock.
During this period he interviewed many bands and artists in Nottingham, Derby and Leicester and usually had them sign copies of the albums they were promoting at the time. He was also sent many promotional, DJ-only and white-label pressings direct from the record companies. This is why he would have been sent this Pete Townsend promo item.
Sadly my brother passed away in November 2013, so I am slowly disposing of his extensive record collection. He had no family of his own, so according to his wishes we have opened a trust account to help his nephew and two nieces through university, and the proceeds from these sales will be paid into that account.
I will be listing quite a few similar items over the coming months, as there are original signed albums by artists ranging from The Ramones to Bryan Ferry and Sandy Denny, plus some rarities and DJ-only promotional copies.
All vinyl will be sent in special secure mailers with stiffeners.
Thank you.
