Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

Album ships in a 2 MIL poly cover sleeve.

I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.

This is a Mint/Mint Promotional Copy that has never been played. As such it should be a First Pressing but I can't tell by the matrix. The single piece board cover has tight seams and shows no wear. The gold embossed Promotional Copy stamp is on the lower left back cover. The original plastic inner sleeve has the repeating WB logo. Seller got this new from WB in 1980 after seeing  a screening for the movie on the WB lot. The studio guys thought it would add some "atmosphere" to turn down the Air Conditioning in the screening room to about 60 degrees. It was about 95 degrees in July.  The Seller said he had goosebumps and was shivering during the opening credits and it got worse when the scary parts started. The headline at the top of the front cover says it all: "A Masterpiece Of Modern Horror"
