Promo: YES.  GOLD STAMP PROMO.  Please see my comments on promo copies below.

Vinyl Grade: NEAR MINT / MINT -  Vinyl is high gloss, clean and free of any hairline scratches or defects.  LOOKS MINT!  Labels are MINT with no spindle trails.  NEVER PLAYED. 

Cover Grade: NEAR MINT -   GATEFOLD. The cover has full gloss and is clean.  It has wear that is so minimal from storage and handling I don't think it has lost it's Near Mint grade.  Hence the minus. 

Inner Sleeve: generic white and totally intact.  

NOTES:  Nothing else noted. 

  The LP in the photograph is the LP that you will receive.   

Thank you for your consideration.

    A word on PROMOTIONAL COPIES:  LP promotional copies in most cases came from FIRST PRESSINGS and usually pulled from the front of the press run.  First pressings, which come as close to the original master disc as possible, matter to audiophiles.  Also, cover drills (holes), corner cuts and cover notches were a common way for the record labels to mark and identify non-returnable promo copies given to retail stores (my 40 year career).  Most promo copies were not stamped or labeled "for promotion only".
