Among the available Columbia Records promotional copies of "The Wall" this copy is the rarest of them all. The majority of promotional copies have the regular labels that aren't any different from the standard commercial release. This copy contains the labels with the "DEMONSTRATION NOT FOR SALE" text, present on all of the four sides. These labels come across extremely rarely and represent a highly-collectible item. Original gatefold cover remains in the factory shrink wrap and has two large stickers underneath it. A white "Columbia Records Demonstration Not For Sale" timing strip sticker with the song titles and a large "Pink Floyd The Wall 36183" clear hype sticker above it. The upper left-hand corner of the back cover has an gold embossed "FOR PROMOTION ONLY Ownership Reserved By CBS Sale Is Unlawful" stamp. The album comes with two original Columbia Records custom "The Wall" inner sleeves. 1st matrix numbers are as follows (Side 1 / Side 2 / Side 3 / Side 4): 1C / 1AB / 1AA / 1A.

★

The cover remaining in the factory shrink wrap and inner sleeves are in Near Mint Minus condition. We grade the vinyl as Excellent Plus with it being almost Near Mint Minus if it wasn't due to a few very light surface scuffs from the original inner sleeves. The labels are super clean and in stunning Near Mint condition. The records sound great with just some very light occasional static. The first track of Side 4 has a series of very light pops in the second half, but our phonograph's tonearm is set to a light weight and if the weight of your tonearm is heavier than perhaps you aren't going to hear it. This and the static would also most likely go away if the records were professionally cleaned using a VPI cleaning machine.

FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS' CONSIDERATION

Due to the high risks involved when it comes international shipping, we’ve recently stopped sending our items with USPS First-Class Mail International and now use only USPS Priority Mail International Express. However, if your order exceeds the amount of $5000, we’ll have to ship the package with FedEx as oppose to USPS.

I don't have the information concerning the existing customs regulations and policies in your country. Before placing a bid please find out more details about it yourself. I don't take any responsibility for the length of customs clearance. I also don't have any opportunity to influence the work of postal carriers in any way. For this particular reason, I ship internationally only with expedite shipping service that includes signature confirmation. My capabilities are limited to the professional packing that assures a safe transit throughout the way and fastest shipping dates. After shipping the package I don't accept any claims related to the work of postal service or problems related to the absence of knowledge related to the customs clearance in your country. If you have any negative experience related to the postal service and you'd like to insure the purchased item please contact me about it beforehand. Keep in mind that just like you, I'm interested in our transaction being concluded successfully but my abilities are limited to the service I describe above.
