SUPER RARE UNITED ARTIST RECORDS 1972-73 ROY WOOD "WATCH HIM GROW ON YOU" PROMOTONAL ITEM.

This promotional item is going to be 43 years old, and considering the age and size its amazing that any of them are still in existence today.  This was used to help promote Roy Woods first U.S release on United Artists Records.

There were two different versions of this item made by United Artists, both are extremely rare but this particular style is the more rare and limited of the two.

United Artist made a small amount of these which  said Roy Wood "Watch Him Grow On You" that design was quickly changed to Roy Wood's WIZZARD "Watch Him Grow On You"

Because it was changed...The first one was the more limited of the two and I have only seen 2 of them, this one and one that I sold back in 1991, its possible that this is one of only a few left in existence.

HERE IS HOW THE PROMO ITEM WORKED....

The card has a small thin tab sitting off the back, you would lean the card up against a glass of water, pull the tab out from the card  and sit it into the glass of water. Over the next 7 days, the water from the glass would get absorbed through the tab and into Roy Woods hair causing it to expand in size and stick out from the display, much like his real hair during that time period.

Its a great item and a smart promotional idea for the time.  I have never actually seen one with the hair out. I doubt after 43 years this one would still work as the hair is now very dry and brittle.

You are bidding on the item pictured, its being sold as is and as pictured with no guarantee that it would ever work dues to its age.
