Up for sale is a barely-used CD radio show from 1991. The entire show ran just under 2 hours (including national commercials). The show featured interviews old and new (new at the time) with Sting. The discs were customized for Sting, loosely based on the sea-atmosphere and artwork of The Soul Cages album. About a quarter of the show is dedicated to Sting's time with The Police. Sting was only featured six times on Up Close. The other appearances were in 1988, 1993, 1995, 1996 and 2000. The discs were tested and work. Some of the earliest CDs in this series succumbed to the dreaded CD-Rot, where the CD won't play or plays with heavy static. Anyway, here’s your chance to get a great collectible, rare item! BACKGROUND INFO Up Close started around 1987 and ran until early 2004. Up Close was one of the better radio shows with each show being unique. The shows usually coincided with the release of a new album by the featured artist. Radio shows are typically in a rockumentary-style and many include music and rare interviews between the music. Interview segments were short (raw interviews consume about 8 to 10 minutes per hour) and discussed the times, specific tracks, specific albums, and other historical items of interest. The CD(s) were professionally produced and distributed to radio stations. The shows usually have their original national commercials, typically at the end of each segment. Limited copies were made (probably well under 500), so they may increase in value with time. Most were either given away, destroyed or returned to distributor after the show aired. Unless otherwise stated, the tracks are studio tracks. Use the auction photos for more information about this release. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.CONDITIONCD (Visually Graded): Between EX and EX+. CD 1 is in EX+ condition with barely a mark on the disc and CD2 is in EX condition with just a few very minor, very lights marks on it. You shouldn't have any issues with these. Cue Sheets: A copy of the cue sheets are included (3 pages in total). They are folded. Most cue sheets were folded in half, thirds or into quarters when they were shipped out. Sometimes cue sheets have writing and check marks from the DJ and/or program directors. As a Bonus, I will include a copy of the cue sheets for the 1993 and 1996 Sting Up Close shows for those who collect. A lot of Up Close shows are sold these days without cues. I will not include copies of other shows, so please refrain from asking.Double Jewel Case: Ungraded. A double CD jewel cases for the show is included. I don't grade these as the cases are easily scuffed, but also easy to replace the plastic part with. The case has some minor surface wear and scuffing, but the case is not broken. I will make sure the discs are secure for transit. Note: The silver-back discs are NOT homemade copies, but genuine discs professionally made and once used by a radio station. They are NOT a bootleg, counterfeit, copy, or any other unauthorized items. They are simply being sold as a collector's item. The rights to the show remain with the copyright holder(s). The item photos may show some from reflections from the camera flash and/or the room lights. These are not item defects unless specifically stated. I will not make or sell copies of shows as it is against eBay policy to do so. The CD set in the auction photo is the one you will receive (I don't use stock photos).PAYMENTeBay payments (or credit cards processed through PayPal) are due 5 calendar days after the auction ends or buy-it-now. Immediate payment may be required for items on sale. SALES TAX (US)As a result of the June 2018 Supreme Court ruling in South Dakota v. Wayfair, eBay is required to collect sales tax. Almost all U.S. states now collect sales tax. eBay automatically adds sales tax at checkout, something I have no control over. DOMESTIC SHIPPING (US)USPS Shipping is available FREE via Media Mail for a limited time. Note: Free shipping ends near late October. Priority Mail Small Flat Rate Envelope is available for an extra cost. Please note that shipping times WILL take longer during holidays and other national events due to the volume of packages and also due to inclement weather.
