PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER).  OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.


HUGE Please lot by Pet Shop Boys on vinyl!!  Buying every item in this lot would cost $20.00 in shipping ALONE so don't sleep!
1) West End Girls 12" - EMI America Dance Mix Specialty/Allied pressing from 1986!!  Vinyl is VG+/VG++ with a few barely visible paper scuffs and cover is still in the original shrink wrap.  A VERY nice copy.
2) Love Comes Quickly 7" - vinyl is a beautiful VG++/NM- and sleeve is VG+ with a bit of ring on the rear.
3) Opportunities [let's make lot's of money] 7" - vinyl is a gorgeous VG++/NM- and sleeve is VG+/VG++ with a few light creases at the opening on top.
4) West End Girls 7" - vinyl is a beautiful near mint minus and sleeve is a gorgeous VG++ with barely a hint of ring.
5) Please LP - rare original Allied/Specialty first pressing from 1986 with oversized rectangular hype sticker in the top left hand corner featuring all three aforementioned singles and original glossy full color printed inner sleeve with lots of pics!!!  LP is a gorgeous near mint minus.  Cover has a small promo hole in the top right hand corner and is still in the original shrink wrap.  You will not be disappointed.  Auction also includes a pair of ULTRA RARE original rigid, two-sided, in-store 12" X 12" promotional displays put out by EMI America with a copyright date of 1986, all three afore-aforementioned singles on one side and a glossy album cover image of the Please LP on the rear!!!  I bought these from a former Tower Records manager here in Chicago who was a big Pet Shop Boys fan and decided to rescue them from the Tower wall for her own private collection (which was staggeringly impressive).  She told me that 99% of these displays were either tossed after they were displayed or never displayed at all and then tossed.  Tower staff saw them as disposable swag and clutter and as a result very few survived from the 1980s.  I sold one of these recently and these two are the last of them.  These are the kind of rare items Pet Shop Boys fans are going to be fighting over in the very near future so don't sleep.  You will never see another lot like this again.
