Unique, Rare item. NOTE: THIS IS A PROMOTIONAL RECORD. IT MAY HAVE BEEN OPENED BY THE PROMOTER/RADIO STATION. IT WAS RESEALED. A SMALL HOLE IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER INDICATED SUCH.
A cut-out method is commonly used by record companies to mark copies that were sent out for promotional use to third parties like radio stations and DJs. Thus preventing them from being returned via the retail channel for a refund.
When LPs were the primary medium for the commercial distribution of sound recordings, manufacturers would cut the corner, punch a hole, or add a notch to the spine of the jacket of unsold records returned from retailers; these "cut-outs" might then be re-sold to record retailers or other sales outlets for sale at a discounted price. 45 RPM singles records were usually drilled with a hole through the label, or stamped "C.O.". A special section of a record store devoted to such items was known as the cut-out bin or bargain bin.

As tapes and CDs supplanted LPs, the mechanisms for indicating a cut-out changed. On cassettes, a hole tended to be punched or burned through the case and through its printed insert. On CDs (a practice that continues today), a section of varying size is taken out of the spine of the jewel case and its paper track listing. Other methods of cutting CDs
