This auction is for 4 boxes of 1970/80's recording tapes, demo's, live concert tapes and promo tapes. I'm pretty sure they (the bands and tapes) are all connected to the late Don Arden and his companies.

I don't know what the formats are and due to the amount i have i haven't put all of the seperate photo's on here. However, below is a track listing taken off of the covers of these tapes.

And finally, i have the reels of E.L.O. tapes listed below and shown in picture 4. I have listed the info from the side of the boxes.

Most of the cardboard boxes they are in are tatty, some are rotting, but the tape condition seems fine.

Sweet Talking Woman dated 19.9.78

Rockaria dated 28.1.77

Confusion dated 3.1.80

Hold On Tight dated 10.8.81

Wild West Hero - dated 1.6.78

Living Thing

Hold On Tight

Don't Bring Me Down - states "Master" on box

I also have 16 tapes with no details on the outside of the box, but they have been used.

O.k., thats the listing, and even though i'm no expert, this seems to be quite an exceptional amount of tapes. You can probably see that most (if not all) of the artists featured here have some connection to Jet Records, Don Arden and Mike Mansfield Enterprises.

Because of the quantity (4 full plastic packing cases) this has to be a collection only auction, but should you wish to bid you could always send a courier.

Don't forget, if you need any more info just email and i will see what i can do with my limited knowledge.

Happy bidding, and good luck.
