Ruth Polaroid Roman Photo 7" Rare Minimal Wave Synth

You are bidding on a super-rare copy of the Ruth Polaroid/Roman/Photo (b/w Thriller) 7" single.  "Original pressing and cover, limited edition of 80 copies, numbered with special artwork."  Edition of 80!!!  Disc is near mint, sleeve is VG+.  Sleeve is marked VG+ because there is a small crease (from the disc, please see backside upper right corner under Paris Album 3913 in photo) on the sleeve, unfortunately this is how I received it direct from ilitchmusic.com.  The artwork is a separate piece of cardstock and both the artwork and sleeve are stamped 69/80.  Of all the French minimal synth of the period Polaroid/Roman/Photo still stands out--sultry, pulsing rhythm with blasting horns and female vocals have earned it a spot on two compilations documenting the movement/era: So Young So Cold (Underground French Music 1977-1983) and more recently BIPPP (French Synth Wave 1979-85).  The Polaroid/Roman/Photo full length CD is equally hard to come by.  This is probably your only option to get this on vinyl--if you still spin vinyl you will have a hard time finding this or will pay through the nose.  Look around.  Sorry about the high starting price, these were 60 Euro when they were available from ilitchmusic.
