I'M SURE ALL TORI FANS KNOW THE BACKGROUND AND RARITY OF THIS RECORD BUT I'LL DESCRIBE IT A LITTLE
THIS IS A PRIVATE PRESSING BY THE AMOS FAMILY (WHEN TORI WAS STILL KNOW BY HER BIRTH NAME OF MYRA ELLEN) FOR THE LOCAL BASEBALL TEAM THE BALTIMORE ORIOLES.
THE DEFINITIVE NUMBER PRESSED HAS NEVER BEEN TOTALLY CONFIRMED, LOWER ESTAIMATES ARE 50, HIGHER ESTIMATES A FEW HUNDRED.
MANY WERE KEPT BY TORIS' FAMILY OR GIVEN TO CLOSE FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES, THE REMAINDER BEING GIVEN TO PROMOTE TORI TO MUSIC REP'S AND EXECS IN THE LOCAL AREA.
THIS ONE WAS PURHCASED BY MYSELF TEN YEARS AGO AND WAS HANDED TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER BY TORI HERSELF IN MYRTLE BEACH IN SPRING 1981.
I BELIEVE THIS IS WERE TORI HAD A RESIDENCY AT THE HILTON HOTEL AT THE TIME.
I WILL INCLUDE THE LETTER OF AUTHENTICITY FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO WAS A MUSIC REP VERIFYING THIS FACT (IT IS DATED DECEMBER 1999 WHICH IS WHEN I BOUGHT IT).
THE RECORD HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED AND IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION (THERE ARE A COUPLE OF FINGER PRINT MARKS BUT THESE CAN EASILY BE REMOVED)
AS THESE RECORDS ARE NOW ALMOST 30 YEARS OLD THERE WILL BE VERY VERY FEW IN SUCH PERFECT SHAPE WHICH MAKES THIS EVEN RARER AS A COLLECTIBLE (AND TRUE PIECE OF MUSIC HISTORY).
AS TORIS' TOUR IS COMING UP VERY SOON THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE WINNING BIDDER TO GET IT SIGNED ALSO (I'M SURE TORI WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO SEE ONE AGAIN).
CAN I ASK ALL PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS IN THE UK TO BE ABLE TO PAY BY CHEQUE OR BANK TRANSFER AS I WOULD RATHER AVOID THE PAYPAL FEES FOR SUCH A VALUABLE ITEM. IF OVERSEAS BIDDERS COULD ALSO USE BANK TRANSFER THATD BE GREAT TOO (THOUGH I WILL ACCEPT PAYPAL IF ABSOLUTELY NECESARY).
IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.
I CAN ASSURE ALL BIDDERS THIS ITEM IS ABSOLUTELY GENUINE AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO SUPPLY FURTHER PHOTOS IF YOU WISH.
I'M SORRY THE POSTAGE IS SO HIGH BUT I HAVE CHECKED THE ROYAL MAIL WEBSITE AND THE PRICES REFLECT SIGNED FOR, TRACKED AND HIGHLY INSURED POSTAGE (WHICH IS A NECESITY FOR SUCH A RARE ITEM). EBAY FOR SOME REASON WON'T ALLOW ME TO LIST POSTAGE HIGHER THAN £4 FOR UK BIDDERS BUT AS I'M SURE NO UK BIDDER WOULD WANT THIS TO GO THROUGH THE SOMETIMES UN-RELIABLE ROYAL MAIL WITHOUT THE ADEQUATE INSURANCE COULD I ASK YOU TO BE SO KIND AS TO ADD THE EXTRA NEEDED (IT WOULD TOTAL £15)
I HOPE THE RECORD GOES TO ANOTHER TORI FAN WHO'LL TREASURE IT AS MUCH AS I HAVE OVER THE LAST DECADE, I'LL CERTAINLY BE SAD TO SEE IT GO BUT THE MONEY IS NEEDED MORE AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME UNFORTUNATELY.
HAPPY BIDDING
I WILL OBVIOUSLY GIVE FREE POSTAGE TO ANYONE WHO WISHES TO TRAVEL TO NOTTINGHAM AND PICK THE RECORD UP.
