$

35

THIS AUCTION FEATURES A SOUGHT-AFTER RARE AUTOGRAPHED LP ALBUM PERFORMED BY "THE VENTURES" FROM 1982.

PRODUCED ON THE TRIDEX RECORD LABEL IN STEREO, THE 12-IN DISC PLAYS AT THE SINGLE 45rpm SPEED.  THE MUSIC IN UNMISTAKENLY "THE VENTURES, INCLUDING A COMPILATION OF THEIR PAST AWESOME HITS.  SEE PHOTOS FOR FULL TRACK LIST OF THE IMPRESSIVE MEDLEYS.  AMONG THEM ARE SUCH FANTASTIC HITS AS, "WALK, DON'T RUN," "APACHE," "OUT OF LIMITS," "PIPELINE," "LET'S GO," "WIPE OUT," "HAWAII-FIVE-O," "SECRET AGENT MAN," "PERFIDIA," ETC. - AND ALL THOSE ON JUST ONE OF SEVERAL TRACKS LOADED WITH EXCLUSIVE "VENTURE MUSIC".

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE ALBUM COVER IS MAINLY PRINTED BLACK WITH VARIOUS COLORED STARS AND GUITARS USED AS GRAPHICS.  SO IT WAS DIFFICULT TO FIND PLACES ON THE OUTSIDE BLACK COVER TO SIGN THEIR NAMES WITH BLACK INK.  HOWEVER, EACH OF THE 4  BAND MEMBERS FOUND A GUITAR ON THE ALBUM COVER WHERE THEY SIGNED THEIR INDIVIDUAL NAMES.  MEL TAYLOR SIGNED ON THE BACK COVER WHITE GUITAR.  SINCE PART OF HIS SIGNATURE WAS PARTIALLY SIGNED IN A BLACK AREA, NOKIE EDWARDS(THE LEAD GUITARIST) ACTUALLY SIGNED TWICE IN 2 GUITARS ON THE FRONT COVER.  BOB BOGLE SIGNED IN 1 GUITAR ON THE FRONT COVER.  THE LAST SIGNATURE APPEARING ON A FRONT-COVER GUITAR IS ONE I CAN NOT QUITE READ.  EVIDENTLY, IT WAS A MEMBER OF THE BAND THAT PLAYED FOR "THE VENTURES" AT SOME POINT.  LOOK AT THE PHOTOGRAPH OF THE GUITAR HE SIGNED, AND SEE IF YOU RECOGNIZE THE BAND MEMBER (IT LOOKS SOMEWHAT LIKE "HARVEY WISHLUND". PERHAPS THAT PERSON FILLED IN AS A GUITARIST FOR DON WILSON WHO'S NAME I CAN NOT FIND.  IF ANYBODY KNOWS FOR SURE WHO THE "HARVEY" PERSON IS, I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR LETTING ME KNOW SO I CAN UPDATE THE DESCRIPTION.  IN FACT, I WOULD BE HONORED IF A MEMBER OF "THE VENTURES" BAND WOULD EMAIL ME.   I LIKE TO BE ACCURATE.

IN ANY EVENT, OH SO COLLECTIBLE FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR THE SOUGHT-AFTER "RARE AND UNIQUE" AUTOGRAPHED (COVER) & VINYL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  ANY LIGHT MARKS YOU SEE ON THE VINYL CAME FROM THE CHANDELIER I HAVE ABOVE THE TABLE I USE TO PHOTOGRAPH.  THE SHINE ON THE VINYL IS SO VIBRANT THAT IT PICKED UP SOME REFLECTIONS.  THE VINYL, ITSELF, IS NEAR FLAWLESS AND PLAYS EXCELLENTLY.

THE SCARCE VINYL LP WAS DISCOVERED AMONG A BUNCH OF OTHER SUCH SIMILAR UNUSUAL DISCS ONCE OWNED BY A DISC JOCKEY. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE OTHER SUCH RARE SEALED LP'S IN MY OTHER AUCTIONS (IF THEY HAVE NOT SOLD).

I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO SHOW JUST HOW NICE THE CONDITION IS OF ALL MY RECORD ALBUMS AND VINYL.  AS SUCH, I HAVE POSTED AS MANY PHOTOS AS I COULD THAT ARE INDICATIVE OF THE ALBUM COVERS, LABELS(WHEN LP IS OPENED), THE VINYL(WHEN LP IS OPENED), ETC. YOU CAN SEE THE EXCELLENT CONDITION OF THE ENTIRE PACKAGE AS IT EXISTS, INCLUDING THE SIGNED AUTOGRAPHS.  - SEE PHOTOS.  BY THE WAY, THE GUITARS ON THE FRONT COVER ARE ALL RED, BUT I HAD TO CHANGE THE LIGHTING TO PHOTOGRAPH THE CLOSE-UPS OF THE SIGNATURES.  AS SUCH, SOME OF THE GUITARS WITH SIGNATURES LOOK YELLOW IN THE PHOTOS.  IT IS A MINOR POINT, BUT, LIKE I STATED ABOVE, I LIKE ACCURACY.

I AM SELLING MANY ITEMS FOR A FRIEND WHO GOES OUT OF HIS WAY TO COLLECT THE UNUSUAL AND VINTAGE ALBUMS AND VINYL.  HE WORKS WITH DISC JOCKEYS, RECORD COMPANIES, AND VARIOUS BEHIND-THE-SCENES SOURCES TO ACQUIRE HIS COLLECTION.  THIS IS ONE OF THEM.  OTHERS WILL BE POSTED AS TIME PERMITS.

WILL CAREFULLY BE SHIPPED IN A BOX ESPECIALLY DESIGNED TO TRANSPORT THESE RARE AND UNUSUAL (VINTAGE) VINYL LP RECORDS.
