David Bowie "Waiting In The Wind" 1987 2LP Color Vinyl Set +Poster Unplayed Rare (80 pressings of the red and blue vinyl discs only)
This edition of this album comes with a poster and two coloured vinyl discs, one red and the other blue. There were only 80 copies of the red and blue discs pressed with this particular album. This specific copy of the album has the colour sleeve (not black and white). (The more common release had albums pressed on yellow and orange vinyl). (Please note that there is a 3 x 7" companion single set for this release entitled "Demanding Billy Dolls". I have also listed that release for sale in a separate listing ~ eBay item 141760635779)
I obtained this double album set new in 1987. I placed it in a high quality click-seal sleeve and stored it upright. I did not play this album.
With this listing you have the opportunity to purchase an unplayed copy of this album. This two album set has been stored upright and enclosed in an air-tight high quality click-seal plastic sleeve since the set was acquired new.
Condition of the vinyl: Excellent+/Mint- (Visual Inspection). The vinyl of each disc is glossy, clean and shiny. There are no spindle marks. The plain white labels are clean. The discs were not played. It is essentially in the same condition as when I obtained it new over 25 years ago. See the photographs. Some manufacturers and distributors of this class of album did not take that much care of the albums so it was not unusual for these types of albums to be in less than pristine condition when your received them. Quality control was not always a major priority. 
Condition of the sleeve: Very Good+/Excellent-. The full colour sleeve is in very good condition. There are no tears, seam splits, or writing. There are creases in all four corners, two of which outline the shape of the enclosed vinyl discs across the top of the sleeve. I think the manufacturers and distributors of this album did not take that much care with the sleeves when the album was packed and shipped. The original paper inner sleeves are clean and crisp.
Condition of the poster: The poster measures approx 60 X 30 cm or so (based on the album sleeve) and is in excellent condition.
Tracks: Intro / Up The Hill Backwards / Glass Spider / Up The Hill Backwards / Day In, Day Out / Bang Bang / Absolute Beginners / Loving The Alien / China Girl / Scary Monsters / Never Let Me Down / 87 & Cry / Time Will Crawl / Beat Of Your Drum / Sons Of The Silent Age / Dancing With The Big Boys / Zeroes / Let's Dance / Fame / Time / Blue Jean / Modern Love.
