Description

****Charity auction of an extremely rare, beautifully signed, low numbered Muse Showbiz vinyl in excellent condition!!****

I am selling my signed Showbiz double clear vinyl, It is in unplayed, excellent condition, and I have cherished it and looked after it very well over the last several years. It is from a smoke-free home, and it has been kept in a plastic sleve for protection.

The records themselves are in fantastic condition - again, I have never played this record! I bought this many years ago from a fellow Muse fan, and I have been a great fan myself for many years. You can be assured that it is 100% genuine, as I myself would never have bought it if I had doubted its authenticity in any way. The sleeves are also excellent, apart from a minor blemish on one of the inner sleeves where the record has been pushed in a little too far. However this is barely noticable and in no way compromises this excellent item.

Regarding the autographs, these are really excellent - one of the reasons why I bought this back in the day was because it is so beautifully signed. I met Muse a few years ago myself - the band sign so many things now that you really will never get signiatures like this. The names are in full and all wonderfully placed, clear and unsmudged. Really beautiful.

Only 1500 of these were ever made, and very few are in such good condition and signed, nevermind so beautifully as this. This one is number 243, and so a highly sought after early copy.

I am very sad to be parting with this and other items from my collection (see later for the Muse EP, Muscle Museum EP and others, stickered and in amazing condition) but it is for a very good cause.

ALL PROFITS ARE TO PROMOTE LION CONSERVATION WORK AND ANTI-POACHING IN KENYA!!!

**************************************************************************************

I am unable to list this as a charity auction because the organization that I am supporting are not a UK based charity, but please go to www.lionconservation.org and www.lionguardians.wildlifedirect.org to see the work that is being done. The money will help set up Lion conservation outside the Masai Mara that do not benefit from the protection of the National Park. I am going to be going to Kenya myself to work with the team and would be happy to keep you posted on how the work is going and the difference that your money is making. It will be used to set up the new conservation efforts and lion guardian work around the Mara, and to compile an ID database of the lions to allow them to be tracked and for anti-poaching efforts to be concentrated in the best places.

If you have any questions or would like to talk to me about this please just get in touch, I'd be happy to help!

Please bid generously to help me offset my Ebay fees and do the best I can for this charity.

I would prefer paypal but other methods of payment are acceptable, and I will post the item well packaged and by recorded delivery, with insurance if preferred (little extra cost - will enquire if needed) to make sure it reaches you safely. The item will be sent as soon as payment has been recieved and cleared. Pick up from me in London is also welcome.

Please note I am a trusted Ebayer - the negative feedback was unfortunately left by dodgy Mp3 player scammers. Please bid in confidence.

I will also be happy to consider fair offers for this and my two EPs, only if they are genuine and fair. I will not appreciate scammers - this is for a good cause and it would be very unfair. Please no time wasters - I'm in the middle of my final exams!! :)

Thanks for looking! Happy bidding, and thanks for your support!

after a question from someone, i have decided that it was important to play the vinyl to check that it plays perfectly...sorry to those who wanted an unplayed copy but i dont want people ending up with a scratched record! be assured that it was played on a very good thorens TD125 mk II and very carefully.

there are no scratches, skips, jumps or anything. it plays perfectly and is now safely back in the sleeve. i must say though that that was very painful and i really wish i didnt have to sell this. Falling Down and Showbiz sound amazing!

any more questions, let me know. i would like to send this insured with special delivery, and so will enquire. it'll probably be a matter of pence but it will put my mind at ease, and yours too.
