VLV 12" Vinyl promo?

66 · 18-01-2011, 10:31 PM

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!!!

My friend, you finally took one of the rarest item of all the times

it's only 350 copies made, and i'm surprised you had't got it in your collection yet

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...

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!

Wow, congratulations! you always seem to find the good stuff

Could you post some pictures?

Thanks again!

You're welcome

Yeah i know, there's no information about this on the internet, but trust me, i'm sure about everything i said

I know that version very well.
About the price u spent, it was absolutely a bargain.

U surery have to be glad u did it!

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!

blue_girl · 19-01-2011, 09:20 PM

wow this is awesome! i thought that i was lucky few days ago when i found the Talk remixes 12´single

but thats even better!!

axe · 19-01-2011, 11:11 PM

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

doritji · 19-01-2011, 11:28 PM

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.

axe · 19-01-2011, 11:46 PM

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.

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.

doritji · 20-01-2011, 01:35 AM

You are really lucky ! Congrats and enjoy !

axe · 20-01-2011, 09:25 AM

yeah, that's the one i described

yamfox · 04-04-2011, 05:31 AM

Wow, we need a rip of that. The commercially released vinyl version doesn't sound good at all.
