 "She dances in these sheets at nights
She dances to his needs
She dances 'til he feels just right
Until he falls asleep
She dances at the crack of dawn
And quickly cooks his food
She can't be late, can't take too long
The kids must get to school
She's a slave to the rhythm
She's a slave to the rhythm of
She's a slave to the rhythm
A slave to the rhythm of
The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love..."

"...I don't need no dreams when I'm by your side
Every moment takes me to paradise

Warm you in my arms and melt your fears away
Show you all the magic that a perfect love can

So baby, be mine (baby you gotta be mine)
And girl I'll give you all I got to give
So baby, be my girl (all the time)
And we can share this ecstasy
As long as we believe in love..."

Today's WELCOME TO THE SHOWROOM:
2018 EU PICTURE DISC REISSUES
(THE DIAMOND COLLECTION)

On SONY/EPIC LEGACY LABEL:
OFF THE WALL 19075866411
THRILLER 1907586642111
BAD 8709419
DANGEROUS 88875120931
HISTORY CONTINUES 1907586646S111
INVINCIBLE 19075866461 


To celebrate Michael's 60th birthday, Sony Music launches this summer an (almost) whole discography reissue on picture disc vinyls. If "Thriller" and "Bad" have less appeal on collectors, we have a FIRST TIME official issue for "Dangerous" and "History Continues", and a never-seen-before picture vinyl for the albums "Off the wall" and "Invincible". All the records are in high-quality 180 grams vinyl; the image qualities are all excellent (except for HIStory), and even the sound quality is an high-standard for a picture disc edition. This is truly one of the best effort from Sony during the last years, something interesting for any collector.
We hope to get similar producxts in the future, as well as a "Blood on the dancefloor" vinyl reissue, in any form, just to have a "big picture" entire carrer on Epic/Sony.

Today's WELCOME 
TO THE SHOWROOM:

BAD "CARTILLA GANADORA SHELL" CASSETTE
CHILE EPIC KPJC-1188

New item in the Showroom! And it's a long awaited cassette from Chile, given for free to some "Shell" gasoline sellers - I don't know if it was a contest, or a prize - and it comes with a classic "booklet" cassette sleeve with an unique spine with "Shell" logo and the title "Cartilla ganadora Shell". Also, like the argentinean cassette edition, this tape has "Todo mi amor eres tu" as first track on side A, that's why it's even more amazing than a rare cassette!

THE SHOWROOM'S 
MOST WANTED ITEMS:
MOONWALKER PROMO VHS
DER SENSATIONELLE KINO-TRAILER
GERMANY VPS VIDEO VHS
 

 

Oh wow! Here it is something I will go mad for...this german (I think) VHS comes in a cardsleeve case, and it should have a special trailer of the movie "Moonwalker". Of course, this must be a promotional item, and it was a never-seen-before since a few weeks when a collector showed me these pictures.
Patience, and luck:that's all we need to find items like these.
You know what?
THE HUNT CONTINUES... :-)

I CAN'T HELP IT "ON THE AIR"

"Looking in my mirror
Took me by surprise
I can't help but see you
Running often through my mind
Helpless like a baby
Sensual disguise
I can't help but love you
It is getting better all the time
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no
Love to run my fingers
Softly while you sigh
Love came and possessed you
Bringing sparkles to your eyes
Like a trip to heaven
Heaven is the prize
And I'm so glad I found you
You're an angel in disguise..."
