PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER).  OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.

Sealed original pressing on Capitol from 1984 with both hype stickers on the front including the circular 4 Grammy hype.  Cover has a small promo hole in the top right hand corner and four sharp corners.  Also included in this auction is a very rare original two-sided rigid 12" X 12" in-store promotional display put out by Capitol to coincide with the LP release in 1984.  This display was purchased from a former Tower Records manager here in Chicago who was a big Ike & Tina fan and decided to rescue this one from the Tower wall for her own private collection (which was staggeringly impressive).  She told me that 99% of these displays were either tossed after they were displayed or never displayed at all and then tossed.  Tower staff saw them as disposable swag and clutter and as a result VERY few survived from the 1980s so don't sleep.  You won't see another lot like this one.  Display is in fantastic condition with 2 tiny pin holes, four sharp corners and NO peel spots or tears.
