The PROMOTIONAL, RADIO STATION-, AUDITION OR DEMONSTRATION COPIES AND RELEASES (such as the one we have here) were often distributed among 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", which is to say the VERY FIRST generation and the VERY FIRST pressings of the particular title; a PROTOTYPE and the earliest known official pressing of the record.

·       CONDITION:

 

·       45-RPM SINGLE RECORD:

 

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted below, ALL records are graded visually, NOT play-graded!)

 

(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)            Promo-only same-sided purple wax 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 150:1.

 

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

 

 

·       PICTURE SLEEVE:

 

THE SLEEVE IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD+++.

 

-        Sleeve has partially split seams on the bottom seam (only 1")

 

-        Sleeve  has a few tiny wrinkles along the opening side

 

-         Sleeve has JUST A HINT of 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 1.

 

 

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE SLEEVE
