******************************

Here I go again: Every year, I put one of the best record auctions on ebay and I do this at the very end of the year. Some of these records that you see, are one of a kind or extremely rare and long gone, out of print records. If you are going to bid on any of these records that I have up for auction, please do not think about it and just do it, as you might never see some of these rare gems back up for auction again! Since we are in the Holiday Season, you too deserve a present for yourself; let some of these records satisfy your Holiday wishes:

Now for the goodies: This is by far the Holy Grail of House records. This one of the hardest records to find in the entire world! There were only a very small hand full amount ever pressed and today is your chance to get your hands on one. This copy has an enormous monetary value, but on top of its actual worth, it also has a very strong personal and emotional value to me, as this is my very own personal copy, which was autographed by Chip E. himself to me. This record really holds a ton of memories for me, as I have been in the business since 1981 and I had been involved in the scene for a while when this record came out and to date, I had held on to this record and did not want to sell it off, but I have decided to do so and not look back.

The story really goes like this, there were probably only one or two hundred copies ever pressed and the only place that had this record for sale was a very famous record store called Imports Etc. At this time when I bought this record, I used to work for the other famous Record shop in Chicago called Loop Records and we never got any copies of this record for sale and I will tell you that I stood in line outside of Imports Etc. for a very long time to get a copy of this original pressing. Chip E. use to work for Imports Etc. and they had exclusivity on the sale of this pressing and on top of them having exclusivity, they also were having an in-store with Chip E. on that day to launch its world-wide release. All copies of this record on this Orange Label (House Records) were autographed, such as my copy is autographed on the jacket. This is an original pressing and not a re-issue or Bootleg of any kind. It is of the era (1985) and comes with its original generic white jacket. Please keep in mind that this is not a sealed copy or anything like that, but it was a copy that never saw a day in a club or any set other than for my personal home playing satisfaction. This is probably as clean of a copy as it gets. This record is in excellent condition. There is some minor writing on both sides on the label as pictured and plays excellent. Again, this copy is autographed to me on one side on the jacket and on the other side of the jacket has some misc. writing on it. There might be some minor hiss and/or noise along with some minor fingerprints and/or surface scuff marks but again, beggars can’t be choosers and I would really rather not sell it to someone whom will not appreciate it what is in front of him/her and understand how rare this record really is to get. Due to its rarity and sentimental value, I have placed a modest reserve to protect myself from underselling it. Please don’t let this very hard record pass you by! If you have any questions, please email before the auction has ended. Please take care, God Bless and may you have a wonderful Holiday Season.
