ABBA – One Of Us (1981) | Rare Italian Pressing Epic 7" Vinyl Single
£17.50
An absolute trophy piece for serious international ABBA collectors! This is the highly elusive, rare 1981 Italian pressing of "One Of Us", released under the Epic label. Unlike the standard domestic UK runs, this Italian import features a distinct wide-centred vinyl design and is housed in the highly collectible, completely different Italian picture sleeve artwork that was never issued to the British market.
As the lead single from their poignant final studio album The Visitors, this native Italian variant is an incredibly difficult press to track down in clean condition.
The A-side features the deeply emotional, reggae-tinged masterpiece "One Of Us," beautifully paired with the brilliant, atmospheric B-side track, "Should I Laugh Or Cry".

Condition Report (Goldmine Grading Standard):
- Sleeve Condition: Very Good (VG) – The uniquely styled Italian picture sleeve is solid, vibrant, and fully intact. It displays standard, light vintage handling wear, minor edge scuffing, and gentle aging consistent with a genuine 1981 archive piece. Free of any major rips, splits, or writing.
- Vinyl Condition: Very Good (VG) – The vinyl retains a wonderful surface gloss with only faint paper lines or minor scuffs that do not impact playback. It plays beautifully with a strong, clean signal and only minimal, periodic background dust crackle typical of 1980s vinyl.
Note: This is a verified, highly rare pre-owned Italian import. To completely safeguard both the unique picture sleeve and the record itself, we package all vinyl shipments securely in heavy-duty cardboard mailers.
