David Bowie    "Beauty And The Beast/Fame" promo only 12" single

This is a promo only 12" single from 1977 on RCA  JD-11204.    This was his second US promo 12" single.     It plays at 33 1/3 RPM.       The A-side has a 'Special Extended Version of "Beauty And The Beast" that is 5:18 long.      The B-side has "Fame" at 4:12 long, which John Lennon co-wrote and sings on.     This 12" single provides the best pressing of this song, because the grooves in the vinyl are farther apart.       This was given free to DJ's so that this song would get more airplay.        The A-side is from his "Heroes" album.    The B-side is from his 'Changesonebowie' album.     It comes in a picture cover with a title sticker at top left.      The cover looks exactly like the "Heroes' album cover, except it's the same on both sides.      This copy is the only copy I have ever seen.  

Next week I will list more Bowie 12" singles.

 Overall Condition :  Cover : M- / Record : M    

The cover is near mint.     No seam splits and no writing.      There is a light partial ring wear.       The vinyl looks mint and it plays mint.     The labels are clean.

About Me :

I started collecting records in 1966.     I started selling in Goldmine in 1985.      I now sell records at all Northwest record conventions : Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Eugene, Grants Pass, and Canby.      And at Crossroads Music in Portland, Oregon.     My records are from a no smoking and no pets home.     I am a record collector, not a DJ, so I almost never play my records.

Packaging :

I take great care during packaging and do each one personally.    I use hand cut cardboard, which is 1/2 inch thick.        I always remove the record form the cover and seal them in a clear plastic record sleeve.      The package will be marked in red 'Fragile Records" on both sides.    

Postage :

You must pay for the postage.      This package will weigh 21 ounces ( 1 pound, 5 ounces ) when ready to ship.    You can figure out your own postage costs for US Priority or Media Mail.     Overseas winners must use First Class International.   I will post your package through Paypal and you will get an automatic email with tracking information.       There are no handling charges.     I will send it as soon as you pay  ( same day if before 2 PM and next day in after 2 PM, Monday through Saturday ).     I will combine postage if you win more than one record.     If you do win more than one record, please wait for me to send you an invoice.

Serious bidders only.      If you bid you must be prepared to honor your bid.    I expect payment within three days, but will gladly wait up to five days, if you contact me.      I no longer accept bids from buyers with more than two strikes against them.    I do not hold records to fill a box.
