Here is your chance to bid on the following ultra rare Prototype record on The Police:
THE POLICE REGGATTA DE BLANC
US 10" SP-3713 A&M Records Prototype Multicoloured Pattern Vinyl
Background Info:
This is a Police prototype colored vinyl disc made for A&M Records, but never manufactured. In 1979 A&M released the Police's second album 'Reggatta de Blanc' as a regular LP and as a double 10" vinyl set. During the process of putting together this release, a small number of prototypes were made for A&M Records by Pic Disc, the company that pioneered the picture disc.
Rather than just using colored vinyl, this prototype has multiple colored geometric patterns pressed into a black vinyl disc. Only the first disc of the set was made in this experimental manner. The colored vinyl experiment was abandoned, however, and the commercial release was on regular black vinyl. This is one of the Police's premiere worldwide collectibles.
The prototype disc is unplayed and came from an ex-A&M Records Director, who worked closely with The Police themselves.
I will ship worldwide and will post registered delivery with online tracking due to how rare this record is, which will require your signature on delivery.
Low starting price of 99p to give everyone a chance to bid. This could be your only chance to bid on this unique record.
A copy of this sold last year for $2125.00.
Hope this goes to a good home.
Best of luck.
