Description

W.O.W., a SEALED German Ariola 1973 original of this classic T.Rex album!.

The facts: This is a German Ariola pressing with the catalogue number 86645 IT, printed in Gütersloh by Mohndruck. Apparently this copy has been kept sealed for 42 years.

In fact this was even sealed TWICE, a very tight shrinkwrap around the sleeve itself, tight as Marcs trousers. And this whole package is again housed in a loose fitting SECOND shrinkwrap. While the inner shrink is complete untouched the outer has a 5cm opening. The price (14,95 DM) is on the outer shrinkwrap.

The theory: Since German originals came with tank inner and poster the big question is now IF there IS a poster inside. The set is definitely heavy, as heavy as my UK original with poster. And you can hear something moving inside. I've been SO tempted to open this for AGES now but I've got nice UK and US originals of this great album . So I decided to let this go to a collector.

Condition: Still sealed. What you can see is that one corner is a bit bend. Apart from that this set should include a totally untouched German copy of "Tanx". And most likely a poster!

But as usual with sealed items, nothing is guaranteed.
