In this auction:

• “THE RUTLES” LP by The Rutles

• This is Warner Bros Records HS 3151.

• It was issued in 1978.

• This LP has a GATE-FOLD COVER with the 20-page booklet attached inside the cover.

• The FRONT COVER has a ROUND WB (Warner Bros) GOLD PROMO STAMP at the top right corner with the printing: PROMOTIONAL COPY NOT FOR SALE.

• As you probably know, PROMOTIONAL RECORDS were typically ONLY released by record companies to VIPs in the industry and primarily to the radio stations and DJs for on-air play or for promotional give-away purposes. They were produced in very small/limited quantities and were NOT made available for sale to the general public; therefore, many promotional records are particularly hard-to-find these days and have become HIGHLY DESIRABLE to vinyl collectors and fans of certain recording artists/bands.

• Warner Bros Records only marked the cover with a promotional gold seal. WB did not put promotional printing on the labels. WB’s policy was to put only commercial records in promotional-marked covers of this LP title.

• The COVER is in NEAR MINT MINUS CONDITION. There is just light wear on 2 of the corners and very slight traces of residue at the center of the front cover where a sticker was removed (with NO damage to the front cover slick).

• The 20-PAGE BOOKLET still attached inside the cover is NEAR MINT.

• The CUSTOM GLOSSY INNER PHOTOS/LYRIC SLEEVE with song lyrics and credits is in NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) CONDITION with light signs of handling. It has NO SPLITS.

• The VINYL is in NEAR MINT.

Simply a GREAT COPY of this LP title, hands down!
