Description

Catalog Number: XDAP7

This single disc 12" vinyl record was made in Japan by CBS/SONY to promote the release of the Wall to Japanese radio stations way back in 1979! It attempts to compile the most radio-friendly tracks from the landmark album onto one disc.
This unique Japanese promo-only release has great unique artwork.
The record itself appears unplayed and mint - it is graded visually.
Sleeve is nice and clean light wear and corner dings typical of a well cared for record of this vintage. Lower right hand edge has a hard to see crease and there's a seam split that runs from the sleeve opening in about 1" along the bottom edge of the sleeve.
The original paper insert is included, containing information about the songs. It is estimated that less than 500 of these were made originally (Japanese promo vinyl records can number in the low hundreds).
These are 30 years old now and impossible to find - most have been safely ensconced in private Floyd collections for years and are rarely sold. This is truly a Pink Floyd Grail piece and one of the most interesting items from the Wall.

See pics for detail.
Great item from an amazing music collection I'm just starting to list. Over the next few weeks you will see TONS of incredible records from this collection. Look in my eBay store under "Pedigree Collection - Records" and prepare to be amazed!
SOME BACKGROUND ON THE COLLECTION: This collection comes from a longtime music business professional who started his career in the 70's as a clerk at a very cool LA based record store chain that dealt in lots of import product. By the late 70's he'd started a company that specialized in importing records from all over the world (not just the UK, as had previously been the standard). The company handled a lot of obscure progrssive, punk and industrial releases and the gentleman in question set aside a copy of EVERYTHING they brought in. Out of the import company grew a label (one of the most successful independent labels of all time with HUGE acts) which was eventually sold to a major label. The owner then continued working in the Industry for the next 20+ years, acquiring a tremendous amount of product along the way. Like many avid music consumers, he didn't have time to listen to as much as he'd have liked and much of the collection is unplayed or barely played. All records are graded visually.
He is now selling this collection through us - prepare to be amazed!

INFO FOR ALL BUYERS

OUR HOURS: We usually work a normal 5 day week, Monday-Friday, 9:30 to 5:30. If we are closed during normal business hours, you will see a notice on our listings page (usually by the listing title). We will respond to all e-mails, but typically answers will take 24 hours to arrive. Do not expect a response after hours or during the weekends or holidays.

SHIPPING METHODS: We use USPS for most shipments. In some cases we may use UPS instead, especially if the package is large or oversized, so don't take the shipping method listed as gospel - your purchase could be sent by either carrier, but the majority go by USPS.

SHIPPING FEES: We try hard to only charge actual cost + a fee of no more than $2.00 to cover materials, time, & other costs associated with each sale. On most items, we undercharge.

COMBINING SHIPPING: We are happy to do this for all customers, unless specifically stated in the listing, or if the items cannot be shipped together (for instance it's hard to send posters and records in the same package without damaging them, you get the drift). Please request a total through the eBay system and we will do our best to reduce shipping for multiple items. NOTE THAT COMBINING SHIPPING DOES NOT ALWAYS REDUCE S&H COSTS, BUT IT WILL NEVER INCREASE YOUR S&H COST.

WE ARE REASONABLE PEOPLE: If there’s a problem with your purchase, please contact us and let us know. As buyers too, we always want to provide you with a great buying experience!

OFFERS: Unless you see the "Make Offer" button on our listings, we are not interested in offers. If you must, please make it reasonable. Asking for 50% off won’t work. If you can find it for less, please, buy it there rather than haggle with us. Thank you in advance!

UNPAID WINNINGS: There seems to be a recent epidemic of dim-witted folks who don't understand the basics of eBay. Here we go: you buy, you pay, we ship (or you pick up in the rare case of pick-up only items), you get the merchandise. If payment is not made in the time specified, we will issue an unpaid item notice to eBay and you'll get a strike. The item will be re-listed and you'll be blocked from our auctions. We have absolutely zero interest in ANY excuses. If there is a problem with your PayPal account, don't buy until it's resolved. If you are expecting money from somewhere else to cover your purchase, don't buy until you have that money in your account. Your Grandmother explodes unexpectedly? She'd want you to honor your commitments. Don't let Grandma down! You let your monkey play online and he bought a bunch of stuff using your account? Tough luck! Next time, apply the lesson you've learned: be responsible and watch your monkey. In the meantime, it's your account & your responsibility - pay up! NO EXCEPTIONS!!

INFO FOR US BUYERS ONLY

PAYMENT TIMELINE FOR US BUYERS: Since we only accept PayPal, there's no reason that payment can't be made at the moment of purchase. We allow a 48 hour period to make a payment from the end of the auction (or, in the case of multiple purchases, 48 hours after you get an invoice with combined shipping, if shipping can be combined).

INFO FOR FOREIGN (EX-USA) BUYERS

SHIPPING METHODS & COSTS: Items valued at $24.99 or more must ship by Priority Mail or better. Priority is usually faster than 1st Class and includes insurance, but it costs more - minimum cost for a one pound package to even a nearby country like Canada is $21, and it goes up from there. EMS is faster, includes insurance and tracking, and is usually more expensive.

CANADIAN CUSTOMERS: In some cases, your shipping costs may be less than quoted here. You can ask first, or, in the instances where they can be reduced, we will refund the difference between what you were chraged and our usual charge to Canada for the service utilized.

S&H PRICES IN THE LISTING: International Buyers, if you are unsure, or if you'd like a quote for another service, PLEASE, contact us BEFORE YOU BUY to ask for an S&H price quote and make sure to include your country.

If you made multiple purchases that can be shipped in one package, WAIT FOR OUR INVOICE. DO NOT pay for an item or items, arbitrarily inserting a figure for S&H. Payment is due 48 hours AFTER we send the invoice with S&H for your country included. If you pay the US shipping cost and you live outside the USA it will not only delay the shipping of your item, but it will cost you more in the long run. It is not our responsibility to chase after you if you make the wrong payment, so we take care of the buyers who have paid correctly first and will notify the others when we have time to get to them.

VALUES ON CUSTOMS FORMS & CUSTOMS FEES: We will NOT falsify customs forms for anyone - EVER! We buy plenty of stuff from around the world and sympathize with Customs fees, but don't ask or expect us to lie for you. If you have to pay customs and / or other fees in your country, this is your responsibility - not ours. If an item sent internationally is returned to us because the buyer refuses to accept it or to pay fees imposed by your local government or delivery service, we will not refund the S&H costs if the item is returned to us. Again, these costs are the buyer's responsibility, not the seller's.

DELIVERY TIMES: International Deliveries face various potential roadblocks that domestic shipments do not – customs officials & inspections in particular – so we cannot guarantee that any package will arrive within a specified period of time. Most packages do arrive within the estimates.
