Posted - 27/10/2007 : 21:35:58 I have just received via ebay the unusual edition of 'Vindicator' that I have mentioned recently. It is brand new and in a beautifully laminated gatefold mini LP sleeve that is a perfect replica of the 1972 American original. The colouring and the photographs are also exactly as they were. The CD is in a paper sleeve, one side of which carries the advert that appeared in the rock press upon the LP's original release - the one that has Arthur looking at the camera and holding a giant clock whose hands say 'a quarter to three'. The other side provides the full tracklisting - including the five bonus tracks. The CD itself has the original light brown A&M label - as well as the LP's catalogue number: SP-4356 . And where did it arrive from? ...... St Petersbourg .... at a cost of £4.99! If it is a fake then it is by far the best I have ever seen....of anything at all. I'll wager that once Vladimir Putin returns from Lisbon this weekend, he will be personally overseeing the first decent release of .... 'Black Beauty'! |

Posted - 28/10/2007 : 11:59:00 Thanks for that, Freedom Man. I am sure that you will really appreciate it. Thirty-five years ago I made a special trip to London to buy the US import version and I was thrilled with the cover - the arrival yesterday of this little jewel reawakened all that euphoria. |
