This is my second time RELISTING this item due to no communication, non- paying bidders who became "not a registered user" with eBay immediately upon auction close.  This time around I will only be able to accept bids from users with a feedback rating of 10 or more. In addition, if you have a negative and/or bid retractions, I may need to contact you for an explanation.  Otherwise, I will need to cancel bids that I feel are not serious.  I take eBay and the value of this picture disc seriously.  Someone out there is going to be the proud new owner of this ridiculously RARE and highly sought after Madonna collectible. 

Here it is! The ultimate Madonna collectible! After many years of collecting, I am parting with my picture discs and will be listing them each week by artist. Our family has grown, our house has not, so my loss is your gain. I am starting with my Madonna picture discs and the diamond of my collection… The Madonna Erotica Picture Disc 12†LP on Warner Bros. / Sire / Maverick. THE ORIGINAL! 100% AUTHENTIC. I purchased it from a very reputable picture disc dealer in New York back when it was “released†(roughly 1992). I was placing an order with this music dealer, who I had purchased from many times before, after seeing his Goldmine ad with his latest releases. I was a HUGE picture disc collector in the 80’s & 90’s. During the phone order, the guy said, “If you want something really rare, I have 2 of these Madonna Erotica picture discs that weren’t supposed to leave the UK.† He continued to really hype the thing to me…Well, sadly I only purchased 1 as he did want a pretty penny for them. Only a handful of these made it out of the UK as it was withdrawn from circulation very quickly. The catalog number is W0138TP 9362-40662-0. I have been the ONLY owner of the picture disc and it has really only been removed from it’s original plastic sleeve to inspect it when I first received it and then to take these photos. It is in perfect, mint condition, has the double-sided insert and is in the original plastic sleeve. It has NEVER been exposed to sunlight, dust or been on display. It has been stored in a 12" record box with my other Madonna picture discs in a cool, dry place. I will be happy to answer any questions that you might have. Check out my 100% high feedback rating and bid with complete confidence. I am an honest eBayer.  Side A: Album Version Side B: 1. Instrumental 2. Radio edit On the inside part of the vinyl, before where a label would normally be (the end of record space) it is engraved: Side one: W0138 TP A1 ORLAKE Side two: W0138 TP B1 ORLAKE I did the best that I could at taking pictures. The record is MINT and was always stored properly. Hopefully this comes through in the pics. Any glare or white spots are due to the flash or overhead lighting. If you would like to see more, I could try to take more in better lighting, but prefer to handle this record as little as possible.

Some additional information as to WHY this picture disc is so rare:  It has been reported that there are ONLY 138 copies in the world!!!  According to Warner Bros., 50,000 copies of the Erotica picture disc were pressed. They were immediately recalled due to the scandal involving Sarah Ferguson, The Dutchess of York. Photographs of Fergie doing the same thing that Madonna is doing(sucking on someone's toe) were published in the British tabloids.  Warner Bros. Records didn't want to been seen as cashing in on the Fergie scandal or causing the Royal Family any embarassment, so they ordered the disc be destroyed. Only 138 copies were unaccounted for and made it out into circulation.
