Description
Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted.
Grading is based on visual inspection.
Album ships in a 2 MIL poly cover sleeve and a 2 MIL poly inner sleeve.
I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.
New and vintage vinyl is hard to grade strictly using eBay’s system because the record and the cover are two different components. Therefore, I call a record new and mint if it is opened but has never been played. I use the grading category to describe the cover condition.
- This is rare and highly collectable.
- This 1984 release is a Limited Edition, Promotional Copy on Purple Vinyl.
- It has never been played.
- The record has a custom label.
- The gold foil Promo stamp is lower right front cover.
- The purple hype sticker is above the Promo stamp.
- The single piece board cover has tight seams and shows no wear.
- The semi-gloss inner sleeve has lyrics, credits and graphics. It has 3 seam splits. I have included a soft poly inner sleeve.
- The original poster is not included.
- This is a one-owner that the Seller got new from WB Records in 1984. It has been in storage for 33 years.
