Description: Paul McCartney & Wings: Band On The Run (1999 JAPANESE ADVANCE MEDIA PROMOTIONAL Mini LP Replica CD 1ST PRESSING TOCP-65504) LONG OUT OF PRINT. Released in December 1973, one of the greatest rock albums ever recorded went on to big the biggest album of 1974. This is from the awesome Japanese 1999 Mini LP Replica series which was the first Mini LP issues and are still the best in my opinion. The attention to detail is fantastic. The Japanese even used the same cardboard for the sleeves and the original ink colour settings from the 1973 Vinyl sleeve printers. This is a replica of the album as it was originally intended by Paul, unlike the USA version which had "Helen Wheels" added to it. The 25th Anniversary 2CD box had "Helen Wheels" also added as track No.8 plus a bonus disc. It is identical to the original Vinyl LP in every regard. Because these CD's were made to advance orders, they were deleted the day of release, so they went immediately out of print. So PROMO copies are even harder to find. This is an EXTREMELY RARE PROMOTIONAL ADVANCE MEDIA REVIEW COPY of the 1999 Japanese Mini LP Replica CD ISSUE OF Paul McCartney & Wings Band On The Run. ONE OF THE JEWELS OF MY COLLECTION. I absolutely love all the Japanese issues above the rest of the world, not only sonically but for the fantastic packaging. I have another non promo copy of this CD and it sounds awesome. As a collector the most important thing is rarity. There aren't many of these around, and I can't find another PROMO COPY of this anywhere else in the world that is mint, brand new like mine, in fact I can't find a promo copy at all. As the years go by, these albums are going to get harder and harder to find as CD production is falling every year. It won't be long before rare CD's are selling for more than vinyl. CD's don't wear out, vinyl records do. I grew up with vinyl but the only thing I miss are the covers. OUT OF PRINT JAPANESE PROMO PRESSING. Toshiba Japanese promo CD's are the most sought after by collectors like me because the stamping and numbering on the inner ring of the CD means they make a separate glass master just for promo samples. This means only one metal master stamper is produced instead of the father-mother-stamper method for regular CD's. This means SUPREME QUALITY, or the best it possibly can be as an exact copy of the original master without any data loss in production. Personally, I love collecting Japanese CD's, they are generally superior quality to the rest of the world on every level in my opinion. All the JAPANESE CD's I own are the best sounding in the world with very few exceptions!! IT IS BRAND NEW HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED FROM THE ORIGINAL WEEK OF RELEASE, STILL FACTORY SEALED. Has been packed away in storage for over 20 years! *Please note the last 4 photos are borrowed from Mr Google to show what's inside as my copy is still sealed from before the original release date in 1999. Also the CD will probably have sample not for sale or something similar around the inner ring of the CD. Track Listing: 1 Band On The Run 2 Jet 3 Bluebird 4 Mrs Vandebilt 5 Let Me Roll It 6 Mamunia 7 No Words 8 Picasso's Last Words (Drink To Me) 9 Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five All the songs are one side of course, the cover uses the original vinyl LP artwork. Message me through eBay with any questions. Cheers Neal Shipping: I only ship with Australia Post Satchels (except for a few large items and very cheap items) which includes tracking, insurance and signature upon delivery. The satchels also give me enough room for protective packaging in a box to make sure your purchase arrives in perfect condition. This also satisfies PayPal and credit card protection policies for buyer & seller. All local shipping options in eBay's system are correct, however: *INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE NOTE, I USE 500G SATCHELS WITH TRACKING, INSURANCE AND SIGNATURE ONLY! If you click on "postage & Payments" tab and select your country, it will say: Option 1: International Standard: tracked-signature. This means a 500g Standard International satchel (6 to 17 business days) Option 2: AU Post Express : tracked-signature (2 to 4 business days) This means a 500g Express International satchel. Duty & Tax Most countries around the world are now charging VAT Tax on almost everything, so delivery times have slowed a little due to customs clearances, please check customs rules for your country, you might have to pay a bit extra. For example: The USA charges NOTHING UP TO $800USD so you will get your order quickly, UK charges 20% VAT on anything over 19GBP so it could take an extra week to get through customs at Langley. The EU countries, France, Italy, Spain etc charge VAT over 22 Euros. China is free up to $300USD. Please message me through eBay with any questions.

I won't do cheap postage in case the parcel gets lost or damaged, this way you are always covered. We haven't had a lost or damaged parcel yet but it's bound to happen sooner or later. Returns: I am not a shop, just a music collector selling personal possessions. As the items I sell are mostly "one of" rarities, I do not accept returns, except of course where they are faulty or damaged in transit. So please choose carefully and don't hesitate to message me through eBay if you have any questions. Message me through eBay with any questions. Cheers Neal
