Description: R.E.M.: Dead Letter Office (RARE JAPAN PROMO CD OUT OF PRINT TOCP-3502 +2 BONUS TRACKS),1998 JAPANESE MEDIA ADVANCE RELEASE PROMO CD) THIS PROMOTIONAL CD IS EXTREMELY RARE, I CAN'T FIND ANOTHER ONE FOR SALE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. OUT OF PRINT JAPANESE PROMO PRESSING. Mint condition. Japanese promo CD's are the most sought after by collectors 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. Personally, 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 Olivia CD's are the best sounding in the world!! It is BRAND NEW NEVER BEEN PLAYED. Packed away in storage for over 25 years. Dead Letter Office is a rarities and B-sides collection by R.E.M., released in April 1987. The album is essentially a collection of many additional recordings R.E.M. made pre-Murmur to Lifes Rich Pageant that were outtakes or released as flip sides to their singles internationally. Many of the tracks are favourite cover versions indicating the band's disparate influences and musical tastes, including three Velvet Underground covers, and songs by Pylon, Aerosmith and Roger Miller. Guitarist Peter Buck composed wry, self-deprecating (and, in one instance, apologetic) liner notes to the songs on the album. Buck initially had doubts about releasing it, saying he felt as though people would perceive the album as the band "trying to cash in, maybe to sell some records", as the ultimate release date predated that of the band's final studio album with I.R.S., Document, by a mere five months. The album was initially issued as a 15-song collection on vinyl and cassette, but when its CD edition appeared (now the only available edition of Dead Letter Office) the five tracks from the band's 1982 Chronic Town EP were added. This is also the only current CD availability of Chronic Town. Tracklisting: 1.

Cheers Neal 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.

Duty & Tax Most countries around the world are now charging VAT Tax on almost everything, so delivery times have slowed a little due to customs clearances, please check customs rules for your country, you might have to pay a bit extra. For example: The USA charges NOTHING UP TO $800USD so you will get your order quickly, UK charges 20% VAT on anything over 19GBP so it could take an extra week to get through customs at Langley. The EU countries, France, Italy, Spain etc charge VAT over 22 Euros. China is free up to $300USD. Please message me through eBay with any questions.

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.
