Apologies to everyone who was watching these auctions, but it was brought to my attention that they weren't visible to people outside the U.K. Due to some kind of a glitch with the 'International Postage' setting. So I've had to restart them.
Due to the problems with the P&P, international shipping will have to be calculated at auctions end.
Charles Alexander - Petty Blue / Memories Of Racing (CB)
VG++ original copy, shiny but with a few light surface marks.
Please note, this copy has a drill hole through the labels, visible in the pictures.
Carolina classic. "Petty Blue" is a tribute to Richard Petty's legendary NASCAR team, and is featured prominently in the 2010 documentary of the same name. "Memories Of Racing" is a great Country death-song tribute to Charles' favourite NASCAR drivers, the ones who died racing - "how well I recall, my greatest race driver, as he slammed off the wall".
To hear both sides of the copy for sale, use the youtube links below. The sound files were made using a Technics deck.
