David Bowie & Bing Crosby "Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy"/David Bowie "Fantastic Voyage" Import 12" single
This is a UK Import 12" single from 1982 on RCA BOW T 12. It plays at 45 RPM. This 12" single provides the best pressing of these songs, because the grooves in the vinyl are farther apart. Side one is from "Bing Crosby's Merrie Olde Christmas" TV Special in 1977. It has the spoken intro between David and Bing. Side two is from Bowie's 'Lodger' album. The title cover is die cut, made of thin cardboard and it opens at the top. The large die cut shows the over size labels. The back cover advertises "A collectors set of ten Bowie picture discs'.
Overall Condition : Cover : VG / Record : VG+
The cover is VG. There is light seam wear, small corner bends, and a couple tiny tears along the top opening. The vinyl looks VG+ and it plays VG+, with handling marks. 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.
