ROLLING STONES Wild Horses (1971 original Japanese ‘RSR’ yellow label 7″ single made by Warner Bros-Pioneer Corporation, b/w Sway. This example has the withdrawn ‘Gimme Shelter’ live-on-stage picture sleeve, generally regarded to be therarest of all the Japanese picture inserts. In addition this copy comes complete with its regular ‘two horses’ picture sleeve, a correct Atlantic Records die-cut company inner, and a simply MINT condition record. Unrepeatable!).
DEEP PURPLE & THE ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA Concerto For Group And Orchestra (Extremely rare 1970 original Japanese blue label promo sample black vinyl LP pressed by Warner-Pioneer, heavyweight gatefold picture sleeve complete with insert & the unbelievably rare ‘Rock Age’ shaped obi-strip. The sleeve shows only light wear for being over forty five years old, the insert shows little signs of age. The labels have just a couple of light spindle marks whilst the vinyl show verylittle evidence of play. The all important obi remains in a fantastic condition and intact with very little wear or signs of age, one of the best we have seen. An outstanding example and only the second promo copy we have ever seen P-8093W).
