Description
THE POLICE Unreleased Prototype A&M 12" Picture Disc
ONE OF A KIND PROTOTYPE FROM FORMER A&M EXECUTIVE
Here is an extremely rare, perhaps one-of-a-kind Police prototype picture disc made for A&M Records, but never manufactured. One side of this 12" disc plays "Don't Stand So Close To Me" while the other side plays "De Doo Doo Doo De Da Da Da." The matrix numbers are AM PR 04401 A PD 2 and AM PR 04401 B PD 3 (we assume the "PD" means "picture disc.") The grooves on each side are approximately the size of those on a 45 RPM single; the rest of the outside circumfrence of each side is blank.Recordmecca's Jeff Gold is a former vice president of A&M Records, and obtained this from a longtime co-worker who worked closely on the Police's records. He had kept this in his collection since it was made, at the time of the release of "Don't Stand So Close To Me" in 1980. The disc is in mint condition with a very gentle storage warp, not affecting play in any way. A unique opportunity to obtain a truly rare Police record.

We welcome International buyers and ship around the world every week.
US & Canada Shipping: $9 for 1-2 LP's by insured Priority Mail (Ebay’s recent rule change requires us to offer Media Mail shipping for records, at $4.00 for 1 LP. As this is a very slow method of shipping and uninsured, we cannot guarantee safe delivery by this method and strongly recommend paying extra for the much quicker and safer Priority Mail.) $15 for 1-2 posters, shipped priority mail in a new mailer/tube & US orders are automatically insured for up to $200 in value. Calif. buyers add 8.25% sales tax (calculated automatically by Paypal.) All other items shipped at cost.
International Shipping: $16 for 1 LP airmail without insurance. $4 for each additional LP; $21 for 1-2 posters. All other items shipped at cost. Because of problems with the Italian Post Office, we highly recommend either insured or registered mail for all Italian orders and cannot be responsible for any order shipped to Italy without one or the other of these.
