I used to have a few
RARE Sputnik items* up for sale here. Oh, those were the days.
click on each to have a window pop up with it's pic:
1)
MUESTRALO, a rare Flaunt It LP from ARGENTINA!
SOLD!
On top of that, it's a promotional (DJ) copy! Features
the songs -all regular ENGLISH versions, of course- Misil De Amor, Bebe Del
Atari, Sexo Bomba Boogie, Rockit Miss USA, Chico Del Siglo XXI, Represion Masiva,
Amenaza Adolescente, Ella Es Mi Hombre. Don't you just love that!? They even
bothered to re-do the Flaunt It typo on the front sleeve!
Vinyl, as well as inner and outer sleeve are all in great shape!
2) MUESTRALO, a rare
Flaunt It LP from URUGUAY! SOLD!
Features the songs -all regular ENGLISH versions, of course- Misil De Amor,
Bebe Del Atari, Sexo Bomba Boogie, Rockit Miss USA, Chico Del Siglo XXI, Represion
Masiva, Amenaza Adolescente, Ella Es Mi Hombre.
Vinyl, as well as inner and outer sleeve are all in great shape (Some regular
sleeve-wear shows, but nothing bad). Do realise that sleeve printing- and cardboard
(cardstock)-quality is not as good as of the the European/US releases. And know
that appearantly the guy who owned this LP before me was named Tom Jones (!)
cos he has written that in red marker on the inner sleeve.
3) FLAUNT IT, pressing
from BRAZIL on EMI-Odeon/Parlophone, 1986! SOLD!
It's in excellent shape; vinyl is mint, sleeve slightly (SLIGHTLY; nothing bad
at all!) creased. Comes with mint-shape double-sided 'UK-inner-sleeve REPRODUCTION'
12"-sized inlay sheet (so that's not an inner SLEEVE!). Includes all the
regular songs, but NO COMMERCIALS in between the tracks, even though the back-sleeve
does have the same ads-graphics on it as the UK release.
Also odd is that the back gives a different song-order (A: Love Missile F1-11,
21st century Boy, Atari Baby, Sex-Bomb Boogie -- B: Rockit Miss U.S.A, Massive
Retaliation, Teengae Thunder, She's My Man), but the vinyl itself, as well as
it's labels, actually has the correct order of songs.
Of course (not shown in pic) it has a line in Portugese at the bottom of the
back sleeve, regular record company blah-blah: "Fabricado en distribuido
por Fonobras - Distribuidora fonografica Brasileira LTDA. Estrado Do Gabinal,
1521, RJ CGC. 29 010.519/0001-32 sob Licenca de EMI-ODEON Fonog., ind. e eletronica
LTDA. Industria P 1986 Disco E Cultura Tambem em Cassete."
4) Dress For Excess BRAZILIAN
PRE-RELEASE LP with unique sleeve. SOLD!
Actually this (front-)sleeve version states 'Sigue Sigue Sputnik Corp. Est.
1986' instead of the regular name 'Sigue Sigue Sputnik'. The vinyl is in mint
shape, the outer sleeve is too except for some tiny creases (VERY insignificant!).
This album features all the regular songs as on the UK/USA LPs that were released
later (the 'Cubes sleeve'). Was not released with an inner sleeve.
5) RIO ROCKS, 12"
promo from ARGENTINA.
SOLD!
The version of Rio Rocks is the 12" Acid Samba Mix. This 12" has on
the other side mixes of a song by Paula Abdul (Forever Your Girl: 7", album
and 12" versions). I don't recall ever playing this 12", so the vinyl
is most likely mint. Sleeve is in great shape, it's a white generic sleeve with
a Sputnik/Abdul (text) info sticker on it.
6) Love Missile 12"
from BRAZIL. In mint condition, on EMI-Odeon/Parlophone. SOLD!
Songs: Love Missile extended & dance mix / Hack Attack. Sleeve shows some
MINOR sleeve-wear. Cardboard (cardstock) of the sleeve is a bit more 'rough'
(and not as glossy) as the UK / US / European releases, looks like (more) recycled
cardstock than the regular releases.
Of course -and not shown in pic- it has a line in Portugese at the bottom of
the back sleeve, regular record company blah-blah: "Fabricado en distribuido
por Fonobras - Distribuidora fonografica Brasileira LTDA. Estrado Do Gabinal,
1521, RJ CGC. 29 010.519/0001-32 sob Licenca de EMI-ODEON Fonog., ind. e eletronica
LTDA. Industria P 1986 Disco E Cultura."
7)
DANCING TOP 40 feat. Misil De Amor (Love Missile F1-11) from Argentina.
SOLD!
A rare compilation LP that on the front sleeve has Martin's 'Clockwork Sputnik'
logo printed on it, with the text 'Incluye El Hit Misil De Amor Por Sigue Sigue
Sputnik"!
Vinyl shows very obvious sleeve-wear (plus some blue-biro writing on the back),
overall it is in fair shape. Vinyl is in great shape.
Other artists on this Top Forty LP are: Queen: Una Especie De Magia (A kind
of Magic) / John Taylor (Duran Duran Duran): Hago Lo Que Hago (I do what I do)
/ Sly Fox: Vayamos Todo El Camino (Let's Go All The Way) / Belouis Some: Tiro
Al Blanco (Target Parctice) / Angel: Dancing In Paris-Que Pasa / Pet Shop Boys:
Chicas Del Oeste (West End Girls) / Talk Talk: Viviendo En Otro Mundo (Living
in Another World) / The Monroes: Quédate Conmigo Jeannette (Stay With
Me Jeannette) / Hazel Dean: Dicen Que LLovera (They Say It's Gonna Rain). Back
of sleeve shows small B/W (sleeve) pics of Queen, PSB, Talk Talk, Belouis and
John Taylor.
8) 1985 Live Pic sets: NO LONGER AVAILABLE!
Each pic is 9 x 11.5 cm. These are real photo-store prints from my own negatives, so no cheapo computer-prints
or something.
These pics are very rare because there were not many photographers (besides
Sputnik's own occasional crew) at the Sputnik gigs this early in their career!
I only have one set available of each at the moment, I don't think I will have
more made in the near future, so first come first served. Prices EXclude (low)
S&H, of course!
