Description

Hello, my name is Brian and I have been a vinyl fan for many years now and have always bought and sold items to feed my vinyl hunger...I have never been a dealer and this is not a business. I will always describe my items for sale as honestly and accurately as possible with plenty of clear and detailed pictures.


If you read my ebay feed back as a seller you will see that people are happy with what they receive from my auctions.

I try not to waffle on about how rare an item or use silly expressions such as "AWESOME" or "IMPOSSIBLE LIKE THIS" etc etc (yawn yawn)!

I am very particular about packaging the vinyl. I use the latest designed 1 piece mailers that offer great protection. The vinyl is always packaged outside of the sleeve to prevent seem splits. I am happy to post any where in the world but it must be fully insured.

The cost of postage will depend on the final selling value and the destination, so I can't advise the cost until the auction has ended.

PLEASE WAIT TO BE INVOICED


Please bid with confidence, and if for some reason you are not happy with your purchase I am happy to give a FULL refund on receiving the item back in the condition I posted it out in.

I recommend extra insurance for the more valuable items (over £40), it only costs a few pounds and is well worth it in my opinion. I will NOT post items over seas without full insurance.

I use the 'RECORD COLLECTOR' grading system with a + or - where appropriate.

so here we go.........



ARTIST.............ELTON JOHN


TITLE................ARE YOU READY FOR LOVE PART 1 / ARE YOU READY FOR LOVE PART 2


LABEL..............UTOPIA     blue room


YEAR................1979


FORMAT...........10" ACETATE 2 SIDED SINGLE


COUNTRY.........ENGLAND


CAT No:.............XPRESS 13 B1/B2 


DEAD WAX INFO. N/A


SLEEVE...........Original as far as I can tell, but have the recent addition of anti static liners to further protect the disc.  Age related discolouration and stains. EX-


INNER SLEEVE. N/A



LABELS.............hand written, in super undamaged condition EX+


DISC...................Although 10" in diameter there is only music on the inner part of the disk as a 7" single would be.

Side 1. Has a small patch of shellac missing bot NOT on the playing surface.

side 2. has 2 small spots of aluminum showing through the acetate towards the end of the track which causes some clicks for a few rotations otherwise fine.


I have played this acetate through once to verify it is what the label says it is, and yes all is correct, and it sounds unworn, crisp and vibrant. There is some light crackling and the before mentioned clicks on side 2. Other wise in excellent condition considering it is an acetate test pressing. EX


COMMENTS......I don't believe the acetate version of this single has ever been up for sale before. Super rare, great investment.


If you have any questions or indeed information about this unusual and very interesting disc, please do not hesitate to contact me.


Good luck bidding, Brian.
