HOLY COW, WHAT AN AWESOME ADDITION THIS ULTRA RARE WHITE LABEL (PROMO) LP ALBUM WILL MAKE TO ONE'S COLLECTION OF VINTAGE FRANK SINATRA OR POP MUSIC VINYL ! 
The term "RARITY" is an understatement for this early PROMO copy of one of Frank Sinatra's outstanding LPs. Check the Sinatra Family website for a view of another copy of this rare white label vinyl!  
This is a seldom seen original version PROMO white label of LP album " Swing Along With Me " (R 1002) by Frank Sinatra on the Reprise label released in 1961. Frank is supported by Billy May and his orchestra. This MONO vinyl produces a simply superb listening experience (no surface noise or distractions here). This shiny scratch-free white label PROMO vinyl is rated overall as a strong NM (under Goldmine standards). Se photo for awesome tracks on this rare Sinatra album.
The outer jacket with the glossy laminate cover is quite special featuring an awesome cover color photo of Frank by Paul Hesse, renowned photographer of the stars (check out the manicure). The jacket presents very well front and back and with fully legible side seam printing. There is a 2" seam split at upper edge where record is inserted thus an otherwise EX or better jacket is rated VG to VG+ (again, using STRICK Goldmine standards). This very clean and crisp cover will be a strong candidate for framing if one is so inclined.
The original Reprise inner sleeve is included but is slit about 6" in the middle of a side edge. Also included will be a new white generic inner sleeve in addition to the original. A new poly slip-on outer sleeve is also included to help preserve they 55+ year-old album for generations to come. 
This very rare PROMO album has the common Reprise Records sticker on the front cover stating: " D. J. SAMPLES PROMOTIONAL COPIES" and the white record labels that state: "PROMOTIONAL RECORD NOT FOR SALE" on each side. For those interested in the dead wax (trail-off) markings,the following is observed:  SIDE ONE: R-1002-A-5, the # 2 in a circle and 10,013. SIDE TWO: R-1002-B-5, the # 2 in a circle and 10,014. It should be noted that this album title was changed to "Sinatra Swings" as a result of litigation brought by Capitol Records soon after the Reprise release in 1961.
