@ hifiguru: so you are really selling off one of these? (IIRC a copy is a red vinyl and a blue one). I'm very much interested in this - it's one of the rarest MO items around. I'm not a collector, but I always liked coloured vynil stuff, so... I'm very interested. Seriously. So, if you are really intentioned to sell a copy, please send me a PM with all the details: price, shipping to Italy, delivery details (e.g. may I give you a PO Box address?) etc.
Thanks very much in advance. ;)

By the way my post was not a joke. I am also very interested in these items.
Too bad you can't sell both of them.
Ugo, let's play paper scissors rock.  ;)

I now have only one copy left since i sold spare one yesterday for rather cheap as 120 euros (price that i paid for it) but it went to long time friend and oldfield collector.

If i ever get another copy it will go to ebay auction because im really interested what people would pay for it there ;)

This 2nd one i bought from here was 2nd one that i seen sale here in this year so i should be able to get another copy sometime if those popping up here with same rate as they been recently doing.

What pressing it is? I got a German one from my uncle. Not the best quality vinyl thou. The choir at the end is sorta distorted. Tried on Technics SL1200 MK-V with Ortofon cartridge and also on mine old Tesla NC 470 with Audio-Technica AT120E. I would like to know, if for example the English pressing got the same issue.

Oh and by the way I think I saw in our local music store another German pressing of Amarok for 150 CzK (about 6Eu).

I ma not a big collector, but I try to pick up Oldfield stuff if I see it.

I found the vinyl Amarok in a charity shop, and 2 weeks later my old hi-fi blew up and we replaced it with a micro system with no turntable. So I've never actually played it. It could be scratched and all, but at least I can look at all 12" cover  :p

The only coloured/picture vinyl I have is the 5MO single and Guilty 12" single. I did have a picture version of the Pekka P Mathmatecians Air Display, but some happy person on e-bay got it very cheap from me  :/

Virgin records were Heavily into Coloured Vinyl around this time late 70s... Must of been a Job lot of the Stuff Branson picked up Cheaply from Somewhere..  Just been Looking at some Yellow Dog Singles & nearly everyone was Luminous or Coloured..  :cool:
