MEGARARE and HARD-TO-FIND
original Capitol Records very first High Fidelity Mono press released by Capitol
Records, made and distributed in Chile in 1969 by Industrias Eléctricas Y
Musicales Odeon S.A. (Odeon Records Chile), licensed from Capitol Records Inc.,
USA, catalog number 2502, with hand etched matrix numbers X-70284. 2 in Side A
and X-70289. in Side B, with traditional yellow/black Capitol Records labels of
the period, with “Capitol” logo at top and 4-prong push-out center. Yes, Sirs,
ANOTHER FIND from Chile!!!
“What Is A Youth (Love Theme
From Romeo And Juliet)”, the main theme of the successful film “Romeo &
Juliet” (premiered and released in the UK in March 1968 and released in USA in
October 1968), directed by Franco Zeffirelli, was originally released in USA in
May 1969 and the same year we could see this single released here in Chile. Song
titles are written in Spanish, translated to English, the Side A and in Spanish
only the Side B, with full credits for Nino Rota as songwriters and additional information
about the film where the songs were taken from, with information about licenses
and play time of each song. If you know this single, then you can notice that
English title in Chile was shortened as “What Is A Youth” only, but in the
original US single it’s “What Is A Youth (Love Theme From Romeo And Juliet)”,
of course credited to Glen Weston as singer. The Side B in Chile not only
doesn’t have the English title, the credits are also omitted, in original US
single the credits are: “Juliet: Olivia Hussey, Romeo: Leonard Whiting, Nurse: Pat
Heywood”. In Side A the additional info says in Spanish “from the Soundtrack of
the homonymous film” and in Side B “from the Soundtrack ‘Romeo & Juliet’”. So,
here you have the chance to get and own this MEGARARE CHILEAN PRESS of this so classic
song from the film “Romeo & Juliet”, in the original version by Glen Weston,
with Spanish-written song titles and credits omitted in Side B, a record almost
never seen and maybe auctioned here in eBay by the very first time!!! WOW!!! A
MUST TO HAVE for all fans, lovers and collectors of Glen Weston, Nino Rota and “Romeo
& Juliet”!!!
This record doesn’t have a cover. The record is
in EX or even EX+ condition both sides, glossy and clean, with only some soft scuffs
and very light hairlines, hard to see at first sight, which don’t affect play
at all. Labels on both sides are in great VG+ or EX- condition the Side A,
clean and clear, with some spindle hole and general wear in the center, with
faint blemishes and the name of a past owner written 2 times, and in EX- or EX
condition the Side B, with some spindle hole wear, faint blemishes and the name
of the same past owner in the center. The sound is in strong VG or even VG+ condition
the Side A, loud, clear and clean, virtually no background noise (surface noise
is normal in records from Chile), with constant soft crackles and light clicks,
more evident in the last seconds of the song, and in VG- or VG condition the
Side B, almost same condition as Side A but with the crackles and clicks more
evident and some occasional pops here and there, which don’t cause major
distraction from the loud and clear sound this record keeps from the beginning
to the end. Overall, this is a great record in this MEGARARE CHILEAN PRESS, with
Spanish-written song titles and credits omitted in Side B, maybe not for strict
Minty minds and audiophiles, but with still a nice glossy look, clear and clean
labels and a very decent and respectable sound quality after about 55 years,
which shouldn’t disappoint anyone and should satisfy any serious collector who
knows the real level of rarity of this Chilean issue!!! Yes, Sirs, what a
FIND!!! Click on the pictures to
enlarge and see the labels and cover in detail. WOW!!!
Bid with confidence and don’t wait until the
last second because you could lose the chance to get a real collectable
record from Chile (South America) in superb condition like this copy is. You
know South American records aren’t easy to get in good conditions, so HAPPY
BIDDING and don’t let this record to go away… you could never see a so good
copy of this record again… if you are lucky enough to see even another copy
again… Thanks for watching and bidding, good luck and
best regards from Chile
_____________________________________________
We don’t use the generic
“VG” most of South American sellers use to hide poor quality conditions or
“NM” or “Mint” for records which aren’t even clean and sound less than a
normal “VG” in professional standards. We use the Record Collector’s Grading
System with a little modification: we don’t use MINT grade but for Sealed
records and we can use a + or – to show a most professional accurate
description.
MINT (M): I only use this
grade for Sealed records. NEAR MINT (NM): The record itself is in like
new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality (only
some very very very light hairlines caused for the record rubbing the
sleeve). The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or
poster are in like perfect condition. BAD (B): The record
is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a
collection-filler.
PAYMENT Payment must be received within the first 5 (five) days after the auction is ended

and Postage) We have an unique value worldwide: GBP18 for weight until 0,5kg (usually 1 or 2

records 12" depending on thickness of the vinyl/sleeve) GBP12 for one 7” record All records will be packed outside of the
sleeve to avoid damages in the cover and all records will be sent with
tracking number via Small Packet or Parcel Post services. SHIPPING COST
ISN’T “4” – WAIT FOR MY INVOICE
FEEDBACK We don’t have anything to hide and we know the
buyers expect to receive feedback after to pay for the items they win. Most
of sellers say to give feedback when buyers leave feedback first. But we know
that’s not fair for buyers. So, we leave feedback immediately after to
receive the payment, because we understand that’s the part that buyers must
receive feedback for. And we expect to receive positive feedback from buyers
who receive the records immediately after they have got the records.
