AMERICA: America In Concert (EXTREMELY RARE 1998 JAPANESE IMPORT ADVANCE MEDIA PROMOTIONAL CD TOCP-3499) LONG TIME OUT OF PRINT
Recorded live at the Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara, CA., on June 1, 1985. In Concert is the second official live album by American folk rock duo America, released by Capitol Records in July 1985. This was the sixth and last release by America on the Capitol Records label .
This was the first America album ever issued on the compact disc. Incredibly it sounds better than most CD’s issued today, the mastering is superb.
It was issued in Japan in 1998 as part of the “American Rock Series”.
THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE STILL FACTORY SEALED JAPANESE FIRST PRESSING PROMO CD FROM 1998. I CANNOT FIND ANOTHER COPY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD AT THE TIME OF MAKING THIS AD.
ONE OF THE JEWELS OF MY COLLECTION. I personally love all the Japanese issues above the rest of the world, not only sonically but for the fantastic packaging. I have another non promo copy of this CD and it sounds awesome. As a collector the most important thing is rarity. There aren't many of these around, and I can't find another PROMO COPY of this anywhere else in the world that is mint, brand new like mine.
As the years go by, these albums are going to get harder and harder to find as CD production is falling every year. It won't be long before rare CD's are selling for more than vinyl. CD's don't wear out, vinyl records do. I grew up with vinyl but the only thing I miss are the covers.
OUT OF PRINT JAPANESE PROMO PRESSING. Toshiba Japanese promo CD's are the most sought after by collectors like me because the stamping and numbering on the inner ring of the CD means they make a separate glass master just for promo samples. This means only one metal master stamper is produced instead of the father-mother-stamper method for regular CD's. This means SUPREME QUALITY, or the best it possibly can be as an exact copy of the original master without any data loss in production.
I love collecting Japanese CD's, they are generally superior quality to the rest of the world on every level in my opinion. All the JAPANESE CD's I own are the best sounding in the world with very few exceptions!!
IT IS BRAND NEW STILL FACTORY SEALED. Has been packed away in storage for over 28 years!

Shipping:
I
only ship with Australia Post Satchels (except for a few large items
and very cheap items) which includes tracking, insurance and signature
upon delivery. The satchels also give me enough room for protective
packaging in a box to make sure your purchase arrives in perfect
condition. This also satisfies PayPal and credit card protection
policies for buyer & seller. All local shipping options in eBay's
system are correct, however:
*INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE NOTE, I USE 500G SATCHELS WITH TRACKING, INSURANCE AND SIGNATURE ONLY!
If you click on "postage & Payments" tab and select your country, it will say:
Option 1: International Standard: tracked-signature. This means a 500g Standard International satchel (6 to 17 business days)

Option 2: AU Post Express : tracked-signature (2 to 4 business days) This means a 500g Express International satchel.

Duty & Tax:
Luckily, eBay collects taxes for Europe and the USA at checkout, so there are no nasty surprises later for International buyers. However eBay cannot collect USA tariffs. I have to pay them after your purchase is payed for. You do not have to worry about additional charges, I have already paid them.
Please message me through eBay with any questions. Cheers Neal
Multiple items:
If
there several items you'd like to purchase, please message me a list so
I can work out the best shipping deal and create a custom product for
you. Again you can message me through eBay.
Returns:
I
am not a shop, just a music collector selling personal possessions. As
the items I sell are mostly "one of" rarities, I do not accept returns,
except of course where they are faulty or damaged in transit. So please
choose carefully and don't hesitate to message me through eBay if you
have any questions.
