Comments; WOW, talk about a mega, mega rare LP! I had never heard of these gentlemen, but in reading the liner notes on the back of the jacket, it became obvious that, since they backed up the creme de la creme of the ALL PLATINUM ENTERPRISES thoroughbred stable of artists, they had to be one special group of musicians. But I realized that I needed some help with the information on this highly collectible LP, so I contacted a friend in Holland, and he was nice enough to tell me that in the many years that he has been buying rare LP's on eBay, this is only the second copy of this LP that he has ever seen listed...and he said that the first LP was not sealed! He proceeded to tell me that he was very upset that he came in second on that listing many years ago, and he's been looking for this gem ever since. But he did not try to talk me out of listing this LP on eBay, because he is quite the gentleman, and he obviously enjoys the challenge and thrill of winning extremely rare LP's on eBay. Serious vinyl collectors of such know the story behind the ALL PLATINUM ENTERPRISES empire, which was the brainchild of the legendary Sylvia Robinson. I needn't say more except to wish all of you who will be bidding on this killer LP good luck, and don't let this one get away...you may never see another copy...ever!

A number of vinyl collectors have already sent me messages asking if this LP is sealed...this LP is FACTORY SEALED in its original shrink wrap, and the jacket is in MINT condition. I assure you that you will be totally satisfied with the pristine condition of the jacket, and most assuredly the MINT condition record. I will ship this LP anywhere in the world for free and insured, and if you are not totally satisfied with your purchase, I will gladly refund your monies, including the cost to ship it back to me...that's how confident I am that you will LOVE this extremely rare treasure of an LP! I sold a sealed Johnny Acey LP last month on eBay which was on the TURBO Records label, a div. of ALL PLATINUM Records, for $565.00 to a client in the UK, and he was thrilled with it, so please bid with confidence. Have a look at my feedback if you are interested in viewing his opinion of the transaction. Thanks to all for your interest in this mega rare LP!
OK...now this is getting interesting, folks. Another interested party sent me a message, asking me if I knew the titles of the songs on this LP. Unfortunately, I do not, and since the songs are not listed on the back of the jacket, and I couldn't find out anything about this group or this rare LP on the Internet, I would have to rely on a seasoned vinyl collector to let me know the titles of the songs on this LP...HELP! I know that it's a long shot to request such a thing, and if no one replies, I certainly understand, as we vinyl collectors are a unique breed and often times very secretive.
My friend in Holland read my request for help regarding the songs on this LP, and I am thankful to him for his help. He wrote the following:
Hello Letty, I saw your plea for the tracks on this album.
To my knowledge they are:
Boots In The Snow time 2.25 Headhunter time 2.50 Lock Your Door time 3.01 Only People Can Save The World time 4.37 Time Is Running Out time 4.50 Trails time 5.05 Why Can't People (Be Colors Too?) time 4.42 World 2 time 5.26 |

First and foremost, I apologize for being so thorough on this LP, but when you are bidding on one of the rarest LP's on the planet, you deserve to know all of the information that I have been able to find on it...I assure you that I have spent hours upon hours researching it. As you will see below, the last copy of this mega rare LP that was sold on eBay way back on July 30, 2004! I found this information on a website just now, and due to the importance of this information, I took the liberty of copying and pasting the detailed information below. Since the LP that sold on eBay in 2004 was opened, the eBay listing obviously had a lot of the important information that many of you have been asking me, and the seller was very knowledgeable about this LP, so please read the information below, as it will give you much valuable information in helping you determine if you should bid on it.
All that I respectfully ask is that you please not bid on this mega rare LP unless you are a very serious collector of such, and you intend to pay for it immediately upon winning it via PayPal...good luck to all who will be bidding on what is apparently one of the last if not THE last " SEALED and MINT" copy of this highly collectible LP.
