The Slider - 40th Anniversary Box set - Brand New
This was a gift for my husband. He's a big Bolan fan. But as we're writers and bills need to be paid, he's decided to sell it to swell our bill paying funds. It's brand new and completely sealed and never opened.
Regarding carriage... I never seek to profit on carriage, so here's some info on weight and measurements if you want to do your own Courier research. Don't forget you do have add extra to insure items when you source a Courier. The weight is 3kg, the measurements are 41cm x 37cm, 8cm. The buyer would need to research the Courier they'd like to use and let me have the info, I would then use that Courier. But it will need to be me that books it as I will obviously need to prove that I have dispatched the item.
I've estimated the carriage costs at £15. If the shipping costs are less than £15 I will amend the shipping charge or refund the difference to the buyer. I like to be completely straight over these costs and never make extra. So I've provided the measurements and weight so that a potential buyer can do their own research. But please don't forget to add on the cost of insurance. This is what tends to increase the cost of carriage. I will charge at net, I never mark up p&p.
Do get in touch if you have any questions. Hopefully you'll see from my feedback that I'm a fair and friendly ebayer, who's always happy to help.
Here's some info....
Product Description
Strictly limited to 2000 copies (numbered 1 - 2000) Now remastered for the first time by Tony Visconti, this classic album released in July 1972 on the back of three chart-topping T.Rex LPs provides a perfect snapshot of the era the press dubbed T. Rextasy and is proof of Bolan s extraordinary and enduring appeal across the generations.The Slider contained two UK Number 1 hit singles, Telegram Sam and Metal Guru the latter famously regarded by Morrissey as pop perfection . It was the first to bear the T. Rex Wax Co imprint, a seal of approval from EMI Records, who felt Bolan sufficiently important to warrant having his own record label.
On the accompanying DVD, Tony Visconti recalls the making of the album in an exclusive new 105-minute interview with Bolan biographer Mark Paytress. The DVD also features TV footage including performances of Telegram Sam and Metal Guru from Top Of The Pops, ITV performance footage of Cadilac, Spaceball Ricochet and Telegram Sam, plus Marc s interview with Russell Harty from 1972. Rounding off the DVD is footage of Marc Bolan and Mickey Finn visiting EMI s pressing plant, a TV advert for The Slider and a US promotional film of Buick Mackane.
Tony Visconti has also written a special essay for the 48-page hardback coffee-table book included in the box, which also features a 6,000-word essay by Paytress, rare photos and reproductions of archive material. Also included in the set, which comes in a sturdy 12 x 12 box, is a 180g vinyl pressing of the original album, its two spin-off singles and a repro of the hugely collectable promo-only Chariot Choogle 45, all in facsimile T. Rex Wax Co paper sleeves.
Rounding off the package is a 40-page book of the sheet music for every song on the album, an A2 poster, sticker, plastic carrier bag, sew-on patch and facsimiles of an original Bolan fan club letter, membership card, rosette and concert ticket.
