THE RECORD OF THE WEEK:

SHAKE YOUR BODY

COLOMBIA 12'' COLOURED VINYLS

EPIC/CBS 449-20

COLOURS:

-YELLOW VINYL

-CLEAR VINYL

-CLEAR PINK VINYL

-CLEAR BLUE VINYL

-BLACK VINYL

 

 

5 records all-in-a-post claim their place in the "Records of the week" weekly review; this is a "Shake your body" set printed in Colombia, with a selection of 5 different coloured vinyls (actually, I don't know if the variants are all here...maybe 1 or 2 colours are missing?!). By the way, these presses came with a generic picture sleeve, with a random artwork (used for several 12'' colombian releases at the time), and they're all a must-have for every collector but...beware from pen or marker writings on labels; infact, a lot of copies are not exactly a good-view for a collector. A clean label must be the goal if you're looking for this kind of presses, and some variants are very hard to find in excellent conditions. I remember I had to wait several years to get the ones you see in the pictures, digging and waiting for the right copy, exactly how I wanted. And my suggestion remains the same:a collector needs patience and perseverance!

"Here come ol' flat top

He come groovin' up slowly

He's got Joo Joo eyeball

He one holy roller

He got hair down to his knees

Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine

He's got toe jam football

He's got monkey finger

He shoot Coca-Cola

He say "I know you, you know me"

One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Come together right now over me

He bag production

He's got walrus gum-boot

He's got Ono sideboard

He one spinal cracker

He got feet down through his knees

Hold you in his armchair

You can feel his disease

Come together right now over me..."

"I'm headed for the border

It's on my mind

And nothin' really matters

I've got to be on time

Look in the view mirror

Is he hot on my tracks

Is he getting nearer

I feel some heat is on my back

(Speed demon)

Speedin' on the freeway

Gotta get a lead way

(Speed demon)

Doin' it on the highway

Gotta have it my way

(Speed demon)

Mind is like a compass

I'm stoppin' at nothin'

(Speed demon)

He say, "pull over boy and get your ticket right"!

And nothin' gonna stop me

Ain't no stop and go

I'm speedin' on the midway

I gotta really burn this road..."

Today's WELCOME TO THE SHOWROOM:

WALK RIGHT NOW

HOLLAND 12'' SINGLE

EPIC A-12.1294

 

 

Finally! I have to say....FINALLY!!!! I spent a lot of time (YEARS) looking for this "Walk right now" vinyl in decent conditions. As you can see, the single weas released in 2 version in Holland. Both vinyls come with a wonderful picture sdleeve. The most common is the "remixed version" one (you can see both vinyls back to back on the 3rd picture, here), but the "original version" release...damn! It's rarer, and it's even rarer to find in good conditions. I don't know why, but all the copies I've found through the years were all in fair conditions.

This looks pretty, as you can see, so my patience was rewarded in full!!!

 

 

THE RECORD OF THE WEEK:

JACKSONS LIVE

USA LONG BOX CD

EPIC EGK 37545

How I love these longbox editions! This week I'll show you one very very hard to find:here it is the "Jacksons live"!!! Like all the others longboxes, the cd is housed on top of the box, with a special artwork on the outer envelope. This is truly an amazing item to own - like all the others in this particular format - and the Showroom copy is even still factory sealed!

Today's WELCOME TO THE SHOWROOM:

JACKSON 5

MOTOWN VINTAGE GOLD

3'' SINGLE

GERMANY TAMLA MOTOWN ZD41949

Oh, what a nice newcomer for this collection, today! It's another 3inch cd single, from the "Motown Gold" series, this time dedicated to the Jackson 5 (I purchased several years ago the "Michael Jackson" one, you can see in the picture #3 back to back with this one).

The mini cd contains 4 tracks ("I want you back", "ABC", "I'll be there" & "Little bitty pretty one") and it must be housed in a blistered 5inch "BMG" case, as shown right here.
