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.


RARE Sacred Heart promotional lot!  LP is an original Greg Fulginiti mastered Specialty first pressing from 1985 on Warner Brothers with promotional text in the bottom right hand corner on the front cover in customary gold embossed lettering and printed inner sleeve with title track lyrics on one side!!!  LP is easily VG+ with just a tiny scuff at the start of Just Another Day that can be lightly felt.  Cover is VG+ as well with just a few creases.  Auction also includes a RARE original rigid one-sided 12 X 12 in-store promotional display put out by Warner Brothers in 1985 with a glossy album cover image and promotional text in the bottom right hand corner!!!   I purchased this display many years ago from a former Tower Records (R.I.P.) manager here in Chicago who 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.  It has some creases but NO tears, staple/pin holes or peel spots from tape.  These are the kinds of rarities Dio fans are going to be fighting over fiercely in the very near future so don't sleep Dio/Sabbath collectors.
