WELCOME TO . . . PLANET EURODISCO
1978 Germany
IREEN SHEER
FIRE
("FEUER" - sung in ENGLISH)
FIRE (English version) / FEUER (Original German version)
Country Pressing = EMI - DEMO COPY (UK)
Vinyl = Clean and shiny EXCELLENT (name written on B-side label - not too noticeable )
Picture Sleeve = This UK 7" single was never originally issued in the UK with a picture sleeve. Originally just for my own collection I produced a high quality professional looking, beautiful original colour scheme, glossy hard card reprint with images taken from a rare European pressing but I have specially redesigned it here with English graphics for this UK pressing.
The quality of this picture sleeve is also much better than most original thin paper European picture sleeves! This is not a basic photocopy sleeve, it is a unique superb PHOTO QUALITY picture sleeve issued specially for this 7" I have on auction.
Remember it was never issued with a picture sleeve in UK back in 1978 so this picture sleeve is the first edition and you're not going to find another one exactly like this anywhere else.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PICTURE SLEEVE IS CLEARLY DETAILED AS A REPRINT SLEEVE SO I CAN NOT ACCEPT ANY RETURNS OR CLAIMS ON THE BASIS THAT IT ISN'T AN ORIGINAL 1978 SLEEVE FROM THOSE WITH SOLE INTENTIONS TO WIN AUCTIONS THEN COPY/STEAL IMAGES FROM MY UNIQUE SLEEVES AFTER PURCHASE AND HOPING TO RETURN MY ITEMS FOR A REFUND.
Please remember this UK 7" was never released with a picture sleeve back in 1978 so this edition is in fact the first original picture sleeve as it did not exist earlier !

POSTAGE RATES ON THIS ITEM ARE :
UK: £2.50 - EUROPE: £3.50 - REST OF THE WORLD: £5.50
(Additional 7" / CD singles are £0.50 each)
MY SINCERE APOLOGIES BUT THE POST OFFICE HAVE RECENTLY INCREASED POSTAGE PRICES QUITE HEAVILY SO UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE HAD TO ADJUST MY RATES ACCORDINGLY
ITEMS ARE USUALLY DESPATCHED WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF RECEIVING PAYMENT
* For safer delivery and insurance in case of possible loss during transit, your item(s) can be shipped at the standard UK Post Office rate by INSURED 'SPECIAL DELIVERY' to any country at £6.00 extra, apart from UK which is just £3.00 extra. This is a set price added to the final total of your complete order if requested, and is not extra for each individual item). Please note that I only use 'SPECIAL DELIVERY' for parcels valued under £30 if the customer requests it, so you will need to ask me when the auction has ended.
I can also deliver within the UK by 'RECORDED DELIVERY at just £1.00 extra. 'Recorded Delivery' however only assures that a signature is received before delivery and does not actually offer the full compensation for any items lost by the Post Office.
* PLEASE NOTE THAT ANY PARCEL VALUED AT £30 OR HIGHER AND TO BE DELIVERED WITHIN UK WILL HAVE TO BE SENT AT LEAST WITH RECORDED DELIVERY (£1 extra) or SPECIAL DELIVERY ( if you prefer an insured method which is £3.00 extra)
* ALL INTERNATIONAL PARCELS VALUED AT £30 OR MORE WILL HAVE TO BE SENT BY SPECIAL DELIVERY
AT THE ADDITIONAL £6 EXTRA (as this is the extra amount it will cost me to send a valuable parcel with insurance).. Please remember that I only charge 50p for additional 7" or CD singles so postage will still always be better value buying more items which can be packed together.
* If any items have not reached you within the usual expected time period, then PLEASE contact me WITHOUT LEAVING NEGATIVE FEEDBACK. I always obtain an individual stamp dated 'proof of delivery' receipt for all items sent via the postal service and I will always try to trace lost items and fill out relevant claim forms at the post office for any item that has failed to arrive after an unreasonable length of time.
I can not guarantee that lost items will eventually be located though, and I can only give refunds on lost items if the item is sent by INSURED 'SPECIAL DELIVERY'. It can take three weeks or longer after reporting a parcel missing that the post office will accept responsibility for a lost parcel and even then they don't seem to guarantee compensation on lost parcels anymore unless the parcel has been sent with a 'Recorded' or 'Special Delivery service.
Therefore you must request and pay the extra amount for SPECIAL DELIVERY service if you prefer your item to be sent more safely (or at least 'Recorded' within UK only). The situation of parcels going missing only happens very occasionally, but please understand that parcels can and do go missing sometimes so please consider very carefully if you prefer your item to be sent by normal post or by SPECIAL DELIVERY and let me know when the auction has ended so I can change the invoice to your preference.
Back in the eighties and nineties I was quite well known among many Eurovision collectors around the world as I always stocked a large selection of Eurovision records and CD's and during the nineties even arranged and financed the official release to press some of the more rare entries for wider availability to collectors. I provided a Discography and photos of all Eurovision releases in the UK for RECORD COLLECTOR magazine and provided recordings and worked to get clearance for tracks on an official UK Eurovision CD release issued by VIRGIN. Due to moving house my Eurovision vinyl has been in safe storage for almost a decade. I have recently acquired back the very last copies of my Eurovision vinyl stocks. In many cases I am down to my very last copy of each entry, especially those in mint condition and I now plan to sell everything over the upcoming months, so keep checking back each week for new additions to my listings.
