COOPER&BURNETT Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Here is a VERY, VERY, VERY rare MIAMI VICE PROMOTIONAL MCA RECORDS JACKET that was made to promote the MIAMI VICE SOUNDTRACK ALBUM!I'll bet you've never seen one of these before!I didn't know it even existed.This is in MINT, UNWORN condition. It's size Large. I acquired it DIRECTLY from the original owner who preserved it since 1985. The owner of this mint jacket ran a radio station in MILWAUKEE WI.Through kindness, I may be able to get the jackets history from the owner. If I do, I'll post it here. The MIAMI VICE soundtrack earned JAN HAMMER 2 GRAMMY AWARDS, stayed on the BILLBOARD's number 1 spot for 12 consecutive weeks. It went QUADRUPLE PLATINUM selling over 4 MILLION copies in the UNITED STATES, and well over 7 MILLION copies Worldwide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COOPER&BURNETT Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 This is the MCA RECORDS silk screen logo on the chest, and a bit of the MIAMI VICE logo on the arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER&BURNETT Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 This is the artwork on the arm of one of the jackets.This masterpiece of a PROMO item will have a special place in my collection.This jacket helped promote the MIAMI VICE SOUNDTRACK which sold 7 million records worldwide...(and still counting due to cd sales) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger390X Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Silk...Nylon...Rayon....I don't know ....All I know is that its shiny and uber geeky now, but it was uber cool back in the 80's to own one. I had a peacock blue one with my car club logo on it (as we all did) and we glittered in the dark, if you know what I mean? hahahhaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just hit the jackpot! [/quote']There - I corrected it for you buddy. That is what we really wanted to hear. Thanks, Coop - you're the greatest!

Lar Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Pretty darn impressive C&B! Aside from being a huge Vice fan, I'm also a music buff, so that jacket is especially interesting to me. I'd about flip if I came across it, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COOPER&BURNETT Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hey, that gives me an idea!I'll put the websites web address on a card, and if someone should strike up a conversation by seeing the logo on it, and say they love the show, I'll invite them to visit the site.IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE!!

COOPER&BURNETT Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I wore this jacket to the store today.Some people did double takes, most didn't react at all. I keep waiting for some one to say something, so I can plug this site! (perhaps I should wear a pint t-shirt under it?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D. Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I was going to ask you if you would wear the jacket or were afraid of getting it dirty, torn, or wet .......but I see you fearlessly wore it for the world to see! Very cool MV collectable. Thanks for sharing it with us, COOP, and wear it in the best of health. :thumbsup:P.S. The logo on the back is beautiful!
