Big Star #1 Record Sealed  PROMO LP w/ Press Kit

This is the Sealed 1st Pressing PROMO LP by Big Star titled "#1 Record". There is a PRESS KIT insert in the back, inside  the shrink wrap. The press sheet is on thick card-stock (you can feel the thickness through the shrink). I got this as a gift from the head of West Coast Marketing of SONY records back in 1985. He found out what a fan I was and gave me his 2 sealed original Big Star records (my sealed Radio City is also up for sale). I have had 4 or 5 first pressings of these over the years but I have never seen the press sheet other that this copy. The corners look great and there are no dents or creases. You will not find a nicer copy of this important record. The price probably indicates my dilemma in selling these LP's.LP was released in the US on Ardent (ADS-2803) Records in 1972.

LP contains the following 12 tracks:

Cover/LP is in Sealed condition. Cover has a promo punch - upper right corner.

I was the owner of an independent record store in Seattle for almost 20 years and the majority of these items were pieces I had put aside for my personal collection. Needless to say, as the owner I was   able to put some pretty neat stuff aside! It kills me to sell some of these rare items, but I have gone back to college (at 47!) and need the money for tuition. All my Items are legitimate retail product, no bootlegs or pirates. I will always list any promo marks,  punches, or cuts in the condition section.

All photos/scans are of my actual items. I do not use found or stock photos; what you see is what you get. Thanks for looking!
