THE B-52'S Sampler (Super Rare 1979 UK promotional-only one-sided 3-track white label vinyl 12", issued to select DJ's & radio in anticipation of the group's debut album in Britain. All the other 'RSS' series sampler 12"s we have seen in the pasthave the orange sunrise label, but there are some gaps in the series & records that are undocumented. This is one of them. The labels are plain white & annotated with just the artist name one side. The run-outs reveal the exclusive 'RSS11' catalogue number as well as a 'sound clinic' etching. Tracks featured are the album length versions of Lava, There's A Moon In The Sky (Called The Moon) & 6060-842. We know quite a few of these Island sampler discs with printed labels & sleeves were limited to 200 copies but we believe this one was pressed in far lower numbers than that. The disc is housed in a plain black reference sleeve & in a die-cut white sleeve with 'release date 13th July' annotation. Obtained from the private collection of influential DJ, record executive & TV personality, Richard Park, the vinyl is Near Mint. Ideal for the collector & likely the only one you'll find on the market any time soon! RSS11)
