STEPPENWOLF
DUNHILL ABC RECORDS MONOPHONIC D-50029
INDEED, ONE OF THE LP ALBUMS WHICH IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN SUCH A CONDITION. THIS IS A VERY EARLY 1ST PRESSING PROMOTIONAL MONOPHONIC COPY OF STEPPENWOLF'S DEBUT SELF-TITLED ALBUM OF 1967 IN A FACTORY SEALED CONDITION WITHOUT THE "BORN TO BE WILD" AD BANNER ON THE FRONT COVER, WHICH WAS ADDED LATER AFTER THE SUCCESS OF "EASY RIDER" IN 1969. THE FRONT SIDE OF THE ORIGINAL COVER IS MADE OF A SILVER MATERIAL, RESEMBLING AN ALUMINUM FOIL, WHOSE SURFACE IS VERY SENSITIVE. THEREFORE, FINDING A COPY WITHOUT A RING WEAR OR HEAVY WEAR IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. HOWEVER, IT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU WITHOUT ANY RING WEAR! THIS COPY WAS PRESSED ON THE ORIGINAL BLACK DUNHILL ABC RECORDS LABEL WITH A MULTI-COLORED LOGO IN THE CENTER. THE CARDBOARD COVER WITH A LARGE "MONOPHONIC" BANNER AT THE CENTER BOTTOM OF THE FRONT COVER HAS A "PROMOTIONAL COPY NOT FOR SALE" STICKER AT THE CENTER RIGHT UNDER THE CELLOPHANE WRAP AND A PROMOTIONAL PUNCH HOLE AT THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. THE BACK COVER CONTAINS A PASTE OVER SLICK WITH A BLACK AND WHITE IMAGE OF THE BAND AND CREDITS. THE "BORN TO BE WILD" TRACK IS CREDITED TO MARS BONDFIRE INSTEAD OF MARS BONFIRE ON THE BACK COVER AND MOST LIKELY, ON THE LABEL AS WELL. THIS IS TRULY A MARVELLOUS FACTORY SEALED COPY WITH ONLY SOME LIGHT SCRATCHES ON THE SHRINK WRAP AT THE CENTER LEFT AND TOP RIGHT OF THE FRONT COVER. THE COVER ITSELF DOESN'T HAVE ANY DAMAGE (ONLY SOME VERY LIGHT BUMPING AT THE TOP RIGHT EDGE, WHICH IS BARELY NOTICEABLE) AND FOUR SHARP CORNERS AND IMPECCABLE SPINE.
CONDITION:
VINYL - MINT (FACTORY SEALED)
