"SHOUT"

CRY JAPAN CD SINGLE

EPIC/SONY EICP50

 

 

"This is not your ordinary record....

Ignorance of people purchasing diamonds and necklaces

And barely able to keep the payments up on their lessons

And enrolled in a class and don't know who the professor is

How low people go for the dough and make a mess of things

Kids are murderin' other kids for the fun of it

Instead of using their mind or their fist they put a gun in it

want to be a part of a clique, don't know who's runnin' it

Tragedy on top of tragedy, you know it's killing me

So many people in agony, this shouldn't have to be

Too busy focusing on ourselves and not His Majesty

There has to be some type of change for this day and age

We gotta rearrange and flip the page

Living encaged like animals and cannibals

Eatin' each other alive just to survive the nine to five

Every single day is trouble while we struggle and strive

And peace of mind is hard to find

I want to shout

Throw my hands up and shout

What's this madness all about

All this makes me want to shout

You know it makes me want to shout

Throw my hands up and shout

What's this madness all about

All this makes me want to shout

Come on, now...."

THE RECORD OF THE WEEK:

TODO MI AMOR ERES TU

COLOMBIA PROMO 7''

BLUE VINYL

EPIC/CBS C-154-87

 

 

Believe it or not...this is one of the rarest items EVER entered in the Showroom. Something I must be proud to present you:a spectacular blue vionyl 7'' of the "Todo mi amor eres tu" singlke released in Colombia. A regular black vinyl version was given for free with the very first press of the "BAD" lp in Colombia - a rare edition - but...this is rarer! I guess a very few copies went in the production:as a result, I've seen this record just 4 times in my collector's life, so...since 1991. It was my fault I didn't get the first copy seen in a record fair in Milan - at the time I decided to buy something other (!!) (and...yeah, it was a brainless decision) but I didn't miss the second chance, several years after that very first time!

So, if you are lucky enough to find another copy of this gem, you can't do like that... don't miss it!!!

"Lipstick in hand

Tahitian tan

In her painted on jeans

She dreams of fame

She changed her name

To one that fits the movie screen

She's headed for the big time that means

She's going Hollywood

She's going Hollywood tonight

She's going Hollywood

She's going Hollywood tonight

She's going Hollywood

She's going Hollywood tonight

It's true, that you,

May never ever have that chance again

That chance again babe..."

"DANGEROUS"

DANGEROUS

ARGENTINA 2 LP SET

EPIC/SONY50017/18

 

 

"The way she came into the place

I knew right then and there

There was something different

About this girl

The way she moved

Her hair, her face, her lines

Divinity in motion

As she stalked the room

I could feel the aura

Of her presence

Every head turned

Feeling passion and lust

The girl was persuasive

The girl I could not trust

The girl was bad

The girl was dangerous

I never knew but I was

Walking the line

Come go with me

I said I have no time

And don't you pretend we didn't

Talk on the phone

My baby cried

She left me standing alone

She's so dangerous

The girl is so dangerous

Take away my money

Throw away my time

You can call me honey

But you're no damn good for me..."

THE RECORD(S) OF THE WEEK:

BAD HONG KONG SUPER GOLD COLLECTION

(SLIPCASE BOX) EPIC ECPT2169

BAD HONG KONG SUPER GOLD COLLECTION 1992 (REISSUE w/obi) EPIC/SONY ECPT 216.9

 

SUPER GOLD CD COLLECTION 1ST RELEASE

SUPOER GOLD CD COLLECTION 1992 REISSUE

 Here they are:probably 2 of the rarest versions of the "BAD" cd. They come both from Hong Kong, with the same catalogue number, in a series named "Super Gold collection".

The very first edition of this particular release has a slipcase box, with a pink frame an the inscription "super gold collection" embossed on the box. The 1992 reissue came instead with a wonderful golden obi and a golden sticker advertising the Dangerous World tour. With this same design, I know for sure there's a "Dangerous" cd too, but I'm still looking for it! I've found 2 copies in the past, one without the obi, and one with a missing sticker; for a maniac like me, the records must be in condition ALWAYS near mint, even - and primarily - the rarest, and as near as possible to the original conditions, so...complete with stickers and inserts! Yes, I know it's crazy,...but real. And as you can see, the 1992 repress is still sealed! This is the Showroom code. :-)

Does this set needs a presentation? It's one of the "highlights" of the entire Showroom! Y'all know the shaped 7''s "Souvenir singles set" released in 1988 in conjunction with the BAD tour. Well, the 12''s you can see in the picture are still UNCUT, the grooves with music are on the squared section surrounded by a clear - plain - vinyl. This is a kind of astonishing item to own, some uncut sets has been given tfor promotional purpose only, and in very small quantities.
That's why I'm so proud to present this set again as one of "The records of the week"!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL THE MICHAEL JACKSON COLLECTORS AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!

"3 OZ OFF THE WALL" & today's 

WELCOME TO THE SHOWROOM

OFF THE WALL AUSTRALIA 1ST PRINTING

EPIC CDEPC83468

OFF THE WALL AUSTRALIA 2ND PRESS

(OVAL EPIC LOGO)

EPIC CDEPC83468

OFF THE WALL AUSTRALIA 3RD PRESS

EPIC/SONY CDEPC83468

 

 

 

With a new cd arrived today in the Showroom from a package coming from Australia, I can show you the whole set of the original aussie presses of the "Off the wall" cd.

Catalogue number, front and back sleeve of the 3 releases is the same, you won't recognize which one you'll get until you see the discs. First printing has the classic "Epic" logo on it - written in blue (a darker blue than the european one) - the first reissue comes with the "oval" Epic logo (used for a short time through the 1989-late 1990's reissues). And then, the last re-release has the well-known new Epic logo (the 3-straight lines ones, launched after the venture with Sony music).

You can easily see the differences with these pictures.

With some patience, you can find each of these cds at a cheap cost.

 

The Showroom wishes a great and happy 2020 to all the Michael Jackson collectors and fans!

Keep on'living your life off the wall!!!
