66 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Have a question for my fellow collectors. Last month I took a chance, and purchased a pro VLV vinyl on description only from a well reviewed UK record shop. Just got it in the mail today. The 12" sleeve looks just like the CD pro sleeve (cream colored w/titles centered). 12" has the full record; both sides state "promotional use only." LC0299/50999 217831 11/ VIVA001. It's not an acetate, just a vinyl promo. Looking for any other info on this if you have it, #made, release areas, general price point, etc... Thanks in advance for any info!!!

axe Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 My friend, you finally took one of the rarest item of all the times :D it's only 350 copies made, and i'm surprised you had't got it in your collection yet :D About the description, yes, it is so, and it's completely genuine and beautiful. About what you asked, it is a UK release, made only for fun by emi under band/somebody else request. There was one of these put up as a gift by the coldplay messenger, won by an italian man. After that, i've seen it on auction only another time. And it was sold for 120 £, really a bargain for this extremely rare item. how much did u pay for this one? great job C...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66 Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Wow'. Thanks a lot for the info! I scoured the Internet, but couldn't find anything about this. Got it from a UK shop for $120 USD. Was a little leery, since I purchased off a written description only, but I'm really really glad I did. Absolutely mint. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eve, i'll send the picture i have on my mac if i find it, maybe i left it on my old pc. nice job again! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_girl Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 wow this is awesome! i thought that i was lucky few days ago when i found the Talk remixes 12´single :laugh4: but thats even better!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axe Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 The talk 12" remixes single is a nice item, but not so rare ;) This one is an extremely rare one indeed. And u must be really lucky to find it! :) keep on collecting anyway, it's great! And about the VLV promo vinyl, i may say this is as rare as the don't panic 12" one, or maybe rarest. Don't know if the don't panic one was deleted before they could release 350 copies :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doritji Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Well you can find the Don't Panic one fairly easy, you just have to be willing to pay at least 100€ for it. I haven't seen this one pass on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axe Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 yeah yeah, but it's not so easy for the don't panic one. i may say it is 500/600 limited, not more. about this one, it was on ebay twice in these 2 years, trust me. It is obviously extremely rare. 350 copies, sure of this. Eve, check the inbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 These are crappy; took then from my phone and UL'd through photobuckets app, but I can get better ones later. No clue how many DP 12" were made, but I remember paying a lot for mine. Can't believe I never knew of this VLV 12", but had gotten away from the market for a short while, so a lot passed me by that I'm still trying to catch up with. Hope these photos come through ok.

yamfox Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Wow, we need a rip of that. The commercially released vinyl version doesn't sound good at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
