Artist L'UOVO DI COLOMBO Title self-titled Information Japan - King Records / Edison - 1989 - ERS-28027
(country of pressing - label - year of release - number) Comments Thick gatefold cover with insert and Obi.
You can see that the insert is smaller than usual ones. This is because it is printed in the CD size. In Japan, the period when this was released was already in CD era. Copyrights of this and Saint Just belongs to EMI Italiana(Toshiba EMI in Japan). King Records, a smaller record company, was licenced by EMI for one-time-only-release of them. Therefore, they were never repressed, even in CD. King Records had no intention to release vinyls but Edison, a record shop specialized in prog, asked them to press the vinyl and promissed that they buy all copies at wholesale rate. This is the reason why this has two kinds of catalogue number. They are King's and Edison's.
As you know the original copies go around $800-900, so I can risk to start at the minimum price... Condition The disc is in M. I bought this from an old collector. He said that he played this only twice, the first when he bought as new copy he taped this and he used to listen to the tape, the second when he sold this to me. As he says, this is like new, no spindle mark, just perfect. I can't find any reason to grade this M-, so, plain MINT without minus.
Check-played all through after cleaning with VPI HW-17, not visual grading!

The cover is in M-, similar condition to the vinyl, very close to the perfect except a white line in the spine which is almost unavoidable for gatefold cover. Additional photos Click here * If the link doesn't work, feel free to ask me e-mail for photos. Postage

CAUTION about $4 shipping option. As eBay forces sellers to accept such shipping option to US, I accept it. This will be surface mail only and it may take three months to arrival. To save the weight, I will send records without ANY protective package. I mean any, items will be sent NAKED without even plastic bags. Not only your address will be written directly on the cover, but also postal stamps are glued directly on the cover. So, if you are lucky enough, you will receive trashed records months later. I am not responsible for this, it's your choice. Further to this, it still costs me more than $4! Ridiculous. Hi, folks, this is the first day of my 8 or 9 days listings. I will list about ten to a dozen records each day, about 100 items in total. Almost all will be progressive rock, mainly Japanese pressings of Italin biggies. I will often use "Buy It Now" option for cheaper items, so please keep your an eye on my listings.
Lastly, let me introduce myself. I have been a full-time, professional record dealer in progressive rock field for more than 18 years. There is one thing I clearly learned in these years, it is the fact that good customers are rarer than rare records! I am not proud of having rare stuffs in my stock anymore, but I am proud of having same customers for years. My aim is to keep you satisfied and, as a result, to keep you buying from me. So, bid with confidence, for I am confident of your satisfaction.
