PRINCE AND THE REVOLUTION – PURPLE RAIN. Records / Tips Cassettes & Records Co. An extraordinary physical media artifact for dedicated Prince scholars, Minneapolis-sound archivists, and elite worldwide vintage cassette collectors. Genuine factory-sealed subcontinental cassette pressings of Prince and The Revolution’s multi-diamond, cultural watershed masterpiece Purple Rain-officially licensed by Warner Music and manufactured in India in 2001 by Tips Cassettes & Records Co. Are exceptionally scarce and virtually non-existent on the open international market in unopened condition. RELEASE AND PRESSING DETAILS. Artist: Prince and The Revolution Prince, Wendy Melvoin, Lisa Coleman, Matt Fink, Brown Mark, Bobby Z. Album: Purple Rain (Music from the Motion Picture). Key Tracks: Purple Rain, When Doves Cry, Let’s Go Crazy, I Would Die 4 U, Baby I’m a Star, The Beautiful Ones, Computer Blue, Take Me with U, Darling Nikki. Format: Original Analog Audio Cassette Tape. Packaging Style: Standard Clear Hinged Norelco Jewel Case (Traditional Two-Piece Box). Record Label: Warner Bros. Records / Warner Music International / Licensed, Manufactured & Marketed in India by Tips Industries Ltd. Tips Cassettes & Records Co. Year of Release: 2001. Country of Origin: India. Packaging: Factory Sealed / Never Opened. Details: Authentic licensed subcontinental retail edition featuring official Tips licensing credits, regional statutory consumer printing (domestic MRP and 2001 packaging date notices), and distinctive Indian market multi-panel J-card layout completely preserved beneath the untouched original factory seal. TERRITORIAL ALLOCATION & PHYSICAL SURVIVAL PROFILE. The Historic Warner-Tips Subcontinental License Era (Early 2000s). In the late 1990s and early 2000s, following the conclusion of Warner’s initial Magnasound distribution era, major Indian label powerhouse Tips Industries acquired the exclusive subcontinental licensing and manufacturing rights to the Warner Music catalog. During this brief window, classic catalog milestones were pressed in tightly restricted, nominal quantities aimed strictly at premier metropolitan music retailers in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore, before tape lines were shut down completely. Sourcing an untouched, factory-sealed cassette bearing the official Tips imprint represents an extraordinarily scarce chapter of subcontinental physical media history. A Quarter-Century Survival Against Tropical Climate Attrition. The extreme ambient heat, relentless monsoon humidity cycles, and biological mold decay typical of the Indian subcontinent routinely destroy vintage physical media through split cellophane, moisture foxing, and warped plastic casings. Sourcing an authentic subcontinental cassette from 2001 that has remained completely unplayed, unopened, and hermetically preserved in its original factory shrinkwrap for over 25 years is an astonishing archival survival. Paramount Prince Discography Completion Value. Purple Rain stands as Prince’s crowning commercial and artistic triumph, generating two Billboard Number 1 hits, an Academy Award, and multiple Grammys while redefining modern pop, rock, and funk. Advanced discography archivists and Prince completists actively hunt down legitimate non-Western territorial issues to catalog localized typography, regional statutory markings, and distinct licensee imprint variations. Because authentic Indian retail copies were manufactured solely for domestic distribution and never exported abroad in volume, this factory-sealed Tips original stands as a standout portfolio showpiece. CONDITION AND ARCHIVAL GRADING. Condition: Mint / Factory Sealed. Factory Shrinkwrap: 100% intact, tight, and completely sealed around the standard jewel case with zero major tears, splits, cuts, or seam separation. J-Card / Cover Art: Completely pristine beneath the shrinkwrap, retaining razor-sharp fold lines, rich purple hues and contrast of the iconic motorcycle imagery, and zero moisture discoloration. Jewel Case: Flawless clear vintage case housing beneath the seal with no cracks, fractures, or loose internal hubs. Please inspect the high-resolution photographs carefully; you will receive the exact factory-sealed collector piece pictured. The sealed cassette is cushioned in thick, multi-layered shock-absorbing bubble wrap and encased inside a rigid, crush-proof cardboard box to ensure the original factory wrap and delicate casing arrive completely undisturbed. Tracked Dispatch: Dispatched promptly with full door-to-door international online tracking.

Item Description for Your Consideration. FACES – OOH LA LA. Pristine Condition for being 53 years old. It was acquired from a private collection. VINYL: Mint (M) Stunning factory lustre as it has never been opened. No visible marks or scratches. Spindle holes will be pristine as the vinyl has never been played. SLEEVE: Mint (M) The fragile non-laminated gatefold is incredibly sharp with 3D Cuts Out. No ring wear, no seam splits, and no spine damage.

This was Faces’ fourth and last studio album, released in March 1973. It went to number one in the UK, number 21 in the US, despite Rod Stewart hating it. He shouldn’t: while it has some weak tracks, it also has some greatness, including the title track (sung by Ronnie Wood) and “Cindy Incidentally, ” an Ian McLagan contribution that I just love. Perhaps it was that the band went ahead and mostly recorded it without him that grated. A much sought after edition of this classic album in very respectable condition. Sometimes records in the’60s and’70s just had to go out on a limb with the packaging tricks. Velvet Underground’s banana, The Rolling Stones’ zipper, Small Faces’ folding round cover for Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake. ” This cover for “Ooh La La features a cartoon of a leering? Gent – when assembled correctly, if you give the record cover a squeeze, his eyes and leering smile move. But of course, every time you do that, there’s a bit of wear and tear on the cover. All records come with a complimentary protective poly outer sleeve. Make me an offer! I’m very reasonable and flexible. Do not hesitate to ask any questions or accommodation requests.
