PROMOTIONAL COPIES:  Promotional copies usually came from FIRST PRESSINGS.  Cover drills (holes), corner cuts and cover notches were a common way for the record labels to mark and identify non-returnable promo copies given to retail stores.  The covers may be marked but it may contain the best vinyl you can find.
