Sorry to those watching previously, I had made an error in the finish time for the auction, which was supposed to go for 10 days and end on the weekend, but I must have inadvertently listed for 7 days, thus making it end mid week....DOH!
AC/DC - High Voltage

This one is a big deal, and a top AC/DC rarity.

This is NOT the normal "Broonzy" label error, (which is actually more common than the corrected label).

Quite possibly, THE rarest Original Australian Issue AC/DC vinyl record in the world.

Given it's condition, it is quite probably THE rarest Australian Issue AC/DC Vinyl record in the world.

Rarity (possibly unique)

Originality (1975 Original issue) 

Pedigree (Thoroughbred Australian, First album, First issue)

Condition (Like new)

With an original, First issue matrix in the Side One run-out deadwax, this vinyl record has a Second issue Blue label on side One, and a First issue, Blue Roo label on Side Two.

The matrix numbers in the run-outs are first issue numbers.
YAPAX1177
YAPAX1178
The second issue Blue Label has YAPAX1177-3 on Side One... This one does not have the -3
Side One is a First issue matrix, with a Second issue "Blue" label.

Side Two is a first issue "Blue Roo" label, with a matrix that is common to both issues.  ( it is only the Side One matrix that changes to differentiate the first Two pressings)

It dumps all over the Gold vinyl 7" invite to Lazars, Melbourne 1976. (Top Dollar $12,500)

It destroys the 12 of the best Cassette 1978 (Top Dollar $10,000)

It vomits all over ANY and ALL of the AC/DC "A" label promo's

It blows away the Dirty Deeds NZ Music World 7" single (Top Dollar $5000.00 AUD)

It kicks the crap out of just about everything, on every level...Rarity, Originality, Condition & Pedigree, but as it has never been seen before, it is completely untested on it's value.

This vinyl record will sit in any AC/DC record collection, as the absolute highest pedigree issue, and will be the envy of every record collector.

I have had this in my collection for over 15 years, and I have never seen One the same EVER.

There was One similar that sold last year, with a Blue label on side Two, and a Roo label on Side One, but that is not necessarily a mislabel, as, other than the Roo label, the only other way to identify an Australian First issue, from a Second issue, is in the Side One run-out matrix, as the B side matrices are identical on both the 1st and 2nd issues...

When it was listed, I was keen to watch it, as it was the first one like it that I had seen, (other than this one in my own collection), but I did note that the sleeve was NOT the correct One for an Original issue, a point that I sent the seller a message about... but it did not seem to be of concern to the seller and it went on to sell for $1595.00 (The sleeve was from a later 1983 issue, which can be identified by the Orange band on the front of the sleeve...on the 1983 issue it is red on the left hand side, and on the 1987 issue, it is all Red.. and they are some very little known identifiers)

The difference between buying high end collectables from a "flipper", or from a collector.... knowledge and integrity... that seller knowingly sold a customer a dishonest collectable... they knew it, because I pointed it out to them!

This One I am selling, is Mint, has a First issue matrix, but a Second issue Blue label on Side One, and a First issue Roo label on Side Two, the sleeve is Original, First issue, and Like New.

I ask that all postage options be considered, including full insurance and Express Post. This will be professionally packed to an extremely high standard, but things can go wrong (and lost) in the post, so fully insured, and Express Post (shortest possible transit time) is highly recommended.
