THE WHITE LABEL PROMO, RADIO STATION-, AUDITION OR DEMONSTRATION COPIES AND RELEASES (such as the one we have here) were often distributed to the radio stations before the record was released to the public, sometimes as much as four months ahead. These records are generally considered to be the "first among equals": the VERY FIRST generation and the VERY FIRST pressings of the particular title; a PROTOTYPE and the earliest known official pressing of the record.

Among the promotional releases, those which come with publicity kits (various packages comprising of photo inserts; letters of introduction from the label; typewritten biographies and/or discographies, corporate memos, decals, badges and alike) are generally recognized as the earliest, and most important specimens of a given title; literally and figuratively, the templates from which all subsequent copies followed. Some publicity kits are commanding astronomic prices on today’s collectors’ market.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)            WE GRADE THE VINYL AS NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs - are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible, and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)            The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)             The record comes in its original, custom, inner sleeve, which is UNIQUE to this album.

(d)            The album comes with ALL Press Kit details and elements, listed and described above.

(e)             Press Kit White Promo Label version of this title is much rarer that a regular, commercially released, version of this title. We estimate that stock copies of this album outnumber promo copies by a ratio of at least 300:1.

(f)              Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER (THE GRADING IS FOR THE EXTERNAL, BLACK , PROMO-ONLY COVER)

THE PRESS KIT COVER (ENVELOPE) IS ABOUT VERY GOOD+ (VG+)

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-         Cover has some visible fraying/tattering on all three seams

-         2 small peel-off marks noted on back side (none larger than 1/8 square inch in size)

-         Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 3.

-         No split seams (yet)

-         No cut-out (drill) holes.
