Description
Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted.
Grading is based on visual inspection.
Album ships in a 2 MIL poly cover sleeve.
I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.
- This Double Live album is a White Label Promo and First Pressing.
- It is actually new but the back cover sustained some indents from being stored for 41 years at the bottom of the box. The indents are from the egg cartons the Seller used to cushion and protect the albums.
- Side three was also facing the bottom of the box and has cosmetic blemishes. However, a technician at Classic Vinyl Plus played it and it plays fine without any static, clicks or surface noise.
- The Double Gatefold cover has tight seams and shows no wear other than previously mentioned.
- The Promo large round sticker is front upper left.
- The inner sleeves are die-cut plain white paper.
- This is a one-owner. Seller got it new from Asylum in 1974.
