Lovely original 1980 promo copy of Gary Numan's classic Telekon LP on Atco SD 32-103. One of the great synth / new-wave albums ever. This was a radio station copy at KLOS in LA, but it was treated very well. Imagine, this was the copy people heard on the air in LA, and was largely responsible for it becoming a hit in the US! Anyhow the disc does have a few entirely superficial marks, but it plays beautifully. I don't hear any pops at all. Really a nice copy. A couple of tracks are underlined on the labels, as reference for what to plug. The cover has a gold promo stamp and a track list sticker, which is peeling off but still attached. There is some wear, with light ringwear and edge and corner wear... but not terrible. See photos. The lyric inner is also included, with a little wear, including minor seam splits. Still overall this is a beautiful copy, and a rare promo.
