Description

PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY TO FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS ITEM IS, THANKS

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION RE THIS ITEM HAS COME AFTER MANY CALLS TO EMI DEPARTMENTS, DIFFICULT TO TRACK DOWN AFTER SO MUCH TIME HAS ELAPSED SINCE IT'S CONCEPTION, BUT JUST ENOUGH STAFF WERE STILL PRESENT TO PIECE TOGETHER THE FOLLOWING:

AS FAR AS ANYONE IS CONCERNED THIS IS THE ONLY PROTOTYPE THAT EXISTS - SO IT IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE FOR ANY CLIFF RICHARD FAN OR COLLECTOR

THIS BOX SET IS THE ORIGINAL PROTOTYPE FOR THE CLIFF RICHARD BOX SET WHICH I BELIEVE WAS A LIMITED RELEASE CIRCA 1982

IT WAS PRODUCED AS A FULLY FINISHED ITEM WITH INPUT BY CLIFF RICHARD, EMI EXECUTIVES AND PRODUCTION AND DESIGN TEAMS TO BE AN EXAMPLE OF THE BOX SET THAT WAS PLANNED FOR RELEASE.

AS YOU KNOW, THE BOX SET THAT WAS EVENTUALLY RELEASED WAS NOT SIGNED BY CLIFF RICHARD AS THIS ONE IS. THE BOX ITSELF HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN WELL HANDLED AS YOU WOULD EXPECT OF AN ITEM OF THIS NATURE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN INSPECTED FOR APPROVAL BY CLIFF RICHARD HIMSELF, OBVIOUSLY THE ORIGINAL IDEA WAS THAT CLIFF RICHARD SIGNED THEM ALL PERSONALLY, BUT THIS NEVER HAPPENED. THIS BOX SET PRE DATES ANY THAT WERE EVENTUALLY RELEASED IN THE INFERIOR FORMAT

ALL OF THE 7" SINGLES HAVE BEEN LABELED AS THE MANUFACTURERS PROPERTY AND NOT FOR SALE. THE VINYL LOOKS UNPLAYED FOR THE MOST PART AND THE INDIVIDUAL PICTURE COVERS ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. ALL SINGLES ARE ON ORIGINAL LABELS - I HAVE PICTURED 1 JUST AS AN EXAMPLE

BECAUSE OF IT'S NATURE THE BOX COULD NEVER BE IN MINT CONDITION - REMEMBER IT WAS USED AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WAS TO COME AND WOULD HAVE BEEN SHOWN AT MEETINGS WHICH OBVIOUSLY WOULD HAVE INCLUDED CLIFF RICHARD AT SOME POINT.

I HAVE NOT GOT A CLUE WHAT IT MIGHT BE WORTH, AS A ONE OF A KIND WITH THIS HISTORY THERE IS NO PRECEDENT TO GUIDE ME, I HAVE MERELY ASKED WHAT I FEEL IS FAIR, I WOULD LIKE THIS TO GO TO A GENUINE CLIFF RICHARD FAN SO I WOULD BE OPEN TO AN OFFER IF YOU CAN SHOW ME THAT YOU ARE A GENUINE FAN - SO PLEASE GET IN TOUCH IF IT HAS'NT GONE ON THE BUY IT NOW - PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS OR TO GIVE ANY MORE INFORMATION IF YOU HAVE IT.
