Description
Please be aware that all records are VISUALLY graded only - all grades are given based on how they appear under my desk lamp - since I do not own a record player. I cannot guarantee that discs will be click and skip free, although any marks and scratches that might possibly cause such problems will be highlighted clearly in the description.
All photos are of the actual item on sale. I do not use stock or 'borrowed' images.
PAUL MCCARTNEY / WINGS
Back to the Egg
Very Rare 'Demonstration Only' Promo Copy!
This listing is for an original UK copy of the Paul McCartney / Wings LP 'Back to the Egg'. This is the very rare promotional copy that features the large, gold stamp on the back cover that reads "PROPERTY OF EMIR - DEMONSTRATION ONLY - NOT FOR SALE".
This demo copies were usually sent out to radio stations or large record shops in advance to promote the LP, letting potential customers listen to the record and get hype built up. Afterwards the copies were either returned, destroyed or thrown away. Occasionally they snuck out and into the wild such as what's happened here.
These are very hard to find!
Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

My Regarding Vinyl Grading:
MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
