YOU ARE BIDDING ON A MEGAR RARE BOX SET BY JEFF WAYNE !! :-
"No one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets. And yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us".
Richard Burton - 1978, War of the Worlds.
THIS IS A MEGA RARE BOX SET - IN GREAT CONDITION !!
THIS WAS A VERY LIMITED BOX SET THAT WAS ASSEMBLED IN TIME FOR XMAS 1979, WITH THE 'WAR OF THE WORLDS' ALBUM STILL RIDING HIGH IN THE CHARTS, DESPITE BEING RELEASED IN 1978 !!
I'M NOT GOING TO FOCUS ON THE UTTER BRILLIANCE OF THE CONTENT OF THIS RECORD, AS I PREFER TO FOCUS ON WHAT YOU WILL GET IF YOU BID ON THIS FABULOUS COLLECTION !! :-
1)OUTER BOX - THIS SET CAME WITH A VERY DELICATE OUTER CARD BOX ( BLACK), WITH A TEXTURED FINISH. IT IS VERY HARD TO COME BY A EXCELLENT CONDITION BOX , MOST ARE SIMPLY SPLIT, DAMAGED OR EVEN THROWN AWAY !! THE CONDITION IS THIS BOX IX A MINIMUM VG++++, WITH ONLY MINIMAL WEAR ON THE EDGES OF THE OUTER CORNERS STOPPING ME FROM GRADING THIS TOTALLY EXCELLENT !!
WHAT MAKES THIS BOX SET EVEN MORE PRECIOUS, IS THAT IT STILL HAS BOTH OUTER STICKERS , WITH LITERALLY ONLY VERY MINIMAL RUBBING !!
THE FIRST STICKER HAS ' THIS SPECIAL EDITION BOX SET CONTAINS - THE TWO RECORD SET, THE PAPERBACK NOVEL, THE WAR OF THE WORLDS GIANT FULL COLOUR POSTER - WOW100'.
THE SECOND STICKER HAS 'SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION - NO 2099'.
2) GIANT COLOUR POSTER - WHAT A BEAUTY !! THIS POSTER HAS NEVER BEEN DISPLAYED ( MOST WERE ) , SO NO BLUE TACK OR TAPE MARKS !! THIS HAS SIMPLY BEEN FOLDED & UNFOLDED TO VIEW IT'S BEAUTY ! POSTER THEREFORE IS IN EXCELLENT UNUSED CONDITION !!
POSTER SIZE IS 61.5CM X 92CM APPROX.
3) SOFTBACK BOOK - IMPOSSIBLY DELICATE BOOK - ALL PAGES LOOK UNFOLDED AND UNREAD, BUT I WILL GRADE AS VG+++ AS THE PAGES HAVE 'YELLOWED' OVER TIME.
4) THE VINYL DOUBLE VINYL SET IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WHICH I LIST AS FOLLOWS :-
OUTER COVER - TOTALLY EXCELLENT , NO SPLITS , SPINE WEAR OR RUBBING !
INNER PICTURE BOOK - FULLY INTACT & BEAUTIFUL PICTURES!! I WOULD GRADE THIS AS VG+++, DUE TO MINIMAL 'SOFT' CREASING FROM BEING OPENED A FEW TIMES !
