SENT OUT PRIOR TO THE RELEASE DATE!!!!  THIS ONE WAS RECIEVED BY ITS 1 PREVIOUS OWNER (MAGAZINE REVIEWER) PRIOR TO ITS RELEASE DATE.  NONE OF THE NORMAL INSERTS WERE INCLUDED - AS MOST OF THEM HADNT EVEN BEEN PRINTED AT THIS POINT!!!!  INSTEAD THIS LP CAME WITH A 'PROMOTIONAL' PHOTO OF THE FEMALE VOCALIST 'ALETTA' AND A 2 PAGE BOOKLET WHICH WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TO THE LATER RELEASED VERSIONS - AND CONTAINS DIFFERENT INFORMATION ABOUT EACH BAND MEMBER!!!!  IT ALSO HAS DIFFERENT INFORMATION ON THE FRONT OF THE BOOKLET - SUCH AS EQUIPMENT USED, MIXER USED, STAGE EQUIPMENT, RECORDING TYPE, ROAD STAFF, PRODUCER, BAND MEMBERS, LINE UP, ETC!!!!  THIS IS THE ONLY 100% GENIUNE 'PROMOTIONAL COPY' (SENT OUT PRIOR TO THE RELEASE DATE!) I HAVE EVER SEEN FOR THIS LP - AND THE CHANCES OF EVER FINDING ANOTHER ONE AGAIN ARE VIRTUALLY ZERO!!!!  SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!
