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 First Pressing Promotional Copy is the second album released by U2. See below for matrix runouts. This copy has never been played. The single piece board cover has tight seams and shows no wear. Note the Promo sticker upper right. This sticker was replaced on subsequent Promos by a gold foil stamp. The semi-gloss inner sleeve has credits and photos on both sides. This group was a WB staff favorite and a priority "work" act from day one. The first two albums made some noise and the rest is history. Seller got this new from WB in 1981. It has been in storage for 35 years.
