HOWARD, Judge,
dissenting.
A.R.S. § 33-808(C) states what must be in a notice of sale. Its language is plain and unambiguous. The notice must contain either the street address or an identifiable location. 416 West Congress is a street address. The state office building located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Congress and Granada Avenue in Tucson, Arizona is an identifiable location. The statute has a savings clause in case there is a mistake in the street address or the identifiable location. If there is included in the notice a correct legal description, all is saved.
Book 11, Pages 86 and 86A, records of Cochise County, Arizona is not a street address. It is not an identifiable location. It is not a correct legal description. No lot, block, tract or parcel is set forth. Strict compliance with notice requirements is essential to a valid sale under a deed of trust. Patton v. First Federal Savings & Loan Ass’n. of Phoenix, 118 Ariz. 473, 578 P.2d 152 (1978); Main I Ltd. Partnership v.

The sale must be invalidated.
