Vinyl: XANADU 10" PROMO PICTURE DISC Olivia Newton John - Electric Light Orchestra ELO

RARE XANADU PROMOTIONAL 10" PICTURE DISC

This is an extremely limited RARE PROMOTIONAL Xanadu 10" picture disc MCA -MC10384. Often referred to as the rarest picture disc in the entire world. Only a handful of these are known to exist and all of those are in the hands of private rare record collectors. There are many stories about the low production numbers of this picture disc but whatever the story is, this is certainly one of the rarest picture discs in the world.

One of the stories states that there was a company recall on the disc and only a handful were made before the recall. Over the decades I have read that 21 copies were pressed and another story said 31 copies were pressed (however I can't guarantee that number to be true) this is only what I have read over the years.

I have been the proud owner of this record since the 1980's. Its been the pride of my collection. I purchased it from a rare record dealer in LA, and even back in the 1980's it was quite expensive. It has been in its original plastic sleeve since the very day I purchased it, it has never been opened, and never been played (until now). I can't say if it had ever been played before it came to me, so I listed the condition as used. I am really going to miss this record but its been sitting for nearly 30 years and it seems the right time to move it to another collector.

I don't know what its worth these days but if you do a Google search you will find a wide range of prices and values, and some of the stories on just how rare this record really is. It has been pictured on the cover of Rare picture discs of the world and other rare record publications.

I'm selling off my entire Xanadu collection that I have owned for the better part of my life, so please check out my other Xanadu auctions. You may find something that interests you but rest assure that this record has always been my pride and joy.

The record is unplayed by me and has been in its bag since they day I purchased it. It is being sold as is and as pictured, if you have any questions please ask before bidding.

I will gladly ship this anywhere in the world. Insurance and shipping costs to be determined at the end of the auction. Insurance will be for the full selling price. Payment must be sent within 5 days of auction end unless otherwise agreed.
