Description
In this Auction:
-
“BAT OUT OF HELL” LP by Meat Loaf (Jim Steinman)
-
This is Epic Records PE 34974.
-
This LP was released in 1977.
-
The LP in this auction is the UNCOMMON WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL PRESSING.
-
As you probably know, PROMOTIONAL RECORDS were ONLY released by record companies to the radio stations and DJs for on-air play or to VIPs in the music industry. They were produced in very small/limited quantities and were NOT made available for sale to the general public; therefore, many promotional records are particularly hard-to-find these days and have become highly sought after by vinyl collectors and fans of certain recording it artists/bands.
-
The LP COVER has the EPIC RECORDS WHITE TIMING STRIP pasted on the lower area of the front cover with the printing:
Demonstration Not For Sale
-
The WHITE LABELS have “DEMONSTRATION NOT FOR SALE” printed at the bottom.
-
“Bat Out Of Hell” was Meat Loaf’s (Jim Steinman’s) debut LP and became one of the best selling LPs in history.
-
Todd Rundgren produced this LP, and it was recorded during 1975-1976 at various studios including Todd’s Bearsville Studios in Woodstock, NY.
-
I’ve read that the cover artwork on this picture disc is among the most beautifully detailed artwork ever produced for an LP cover, but you judge for yourself!
-
The COVER is in STRONG VG CONDITION!!! There is light overall wear to the front and rear cover slicks. There is light to moderate wear on 3 corners and very small “pushes” on 3 corners. There are several small (less than 1-inch) and light creases near the bottom seam and the spine which are more visible on the rear than on the front and a tiny “dimple” impression (perhaps from the tip of a ballpoint pen without the ink) on the rear cover at the end of the red scarf. (Not significant, but I mention it just for full disclosure of what I see.) These small flaws or blemishes don’t really affect the images on the cover at all.
-
The VINYL is in NEAR MINT CONDITION. It has GREAT cuts on it like “You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth”, “Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad”, Paradise By The Dashboard Light” and 3 others.
-
The GLOSSY CUSTOM INNER SLEEVE with lyrics and credits printed on it is included. It is in NICE VG CONDITION with light to moderate signs of handling including a 7-inch split on one edge, a 4 ½-inch split on the other edge, and a 2-inch split on the bottom edge.
A GREAT PROMOTIONAL COPY of this DEBUT and LANDMARK LP by MEAT LOAF to add to your vinyl collection!!
FYI: I use Goldmine Grading Standards (P for Poor, F for Fair, G for Good, VG for Very Good, VG+
