TRAFFIC Ultra Rare LP COVER FOR UNRELEASED '71 ALBUM

GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC WITHOUT TIME LIMIT

Here is an ultra rare album cover for the unreleased 1971 album "Live Traffic." United Artists Records, Traffic's US label, was planning to release a Traffic live album recorded at the Fillmore East on November 18 and 19, 1970 (featuring the band's new bassist, Blind Faith's Ric Grech.) Evidently United Artists greatly upset Steve Winwood and band manager Chris Blackwell by releasing a 2 LP Winwood career retrospective without their permission, and so this release was pulled at the last minute, amid rumours that the master tape had been "lost" (read the full story here: http://www.winwoodfans.com/live70.htm ). This is a fully fabricated album cover for the album; something we've never seen before. We acquired it from an industry insider, who got it at the time from UA's head of publicity. It is in near mint condition, with barely detectable staple holes in the four corners. As far as we know, there were never albums or test pressings of this release--only a very small number of this album cover. This is an extremely rare Traffic artifact from their classic era. We know of only two other examples of this cover. With Recordmecca's written lifetime guarantee of authenticity.

We welcome International buyers and ship around the world every week.

US & Canada Shipping: $9 for 1-2 LP's by insured Priority Mail (Ebay’s recent rule change requires us to offer Media Mail shipping for records, at $4.00 for 1 LP. As this is a very slow method of shipping and uninsured, we cannot guarantee safe delivery by this method and strongly recommend paying extra for the much quicker and safer Priority Mail.) $15 for 1-2 posters, shipped priority mail in a new mailer/tube & US orders are automatically insured for up to $200 in value. Calif. buyers add 8.25% sales tax (calculated automatically by Paypal.) All other items shipped at cost.

International Shipping: $16 for 1 LP airmail without insurance. $4 for each additional LP; $21 for 1-2 posters. All other items shipped at cost. Because of problems with the Italian Post Office, we highly recommend either insured or registered mail for all Italian orders and cannot be responsible for any order shipped to Italy without one or the other of these.
