Description
Extremely hard to find-even here in Sweden, 3lp boxset featuring the Runaways albums: Queens of noise, Waitin' for the night and Live in Japan. It is commonly thought to be a 'fan made' style boxset, but that is wrong. This was a very limited officially made box for one of Sweden's record club style mail order companies. Although not the most professionally made item, it became collectible almost as soon as it sold out. There were only 300 or 500 made depending upon rumours from sources I know who worked at Polygram then. The three vinyl lps are pressed in Norway as all Nordic Polygram releases were then. They don't come with regular sleeves, there is just a tracklisting insert with the box. The copy I have for sale has a nice box with just a small clear tape repair on the top back. The 3 lps are ex-mint-, one or two very light hairline 'scratches' that don't affect play at all. Overall I would class this box set as excellent condition, I've only come across it a handful of times in over 20 years in Sweden. A similar condition copy to this was on sale, (don't know if it sold), at the major Stockholm record fair late 2013 for 3,000 sek-that's approx 400 USD. Worldwide standard shipping is included, registered insured tracked is 12 USD extra.
