Saint Vitus "War Is Our Destiny" (SST Records PSST E52 1985) RADIO PROMO-ONLY 12" SINGLE

RECORD: NM-
JACKET: VG

Here's an unbelievable rarity for doom collectors, the SST promo-only 12" single for this classic Saint Vitus track.  1985 was damn early for doom metal, but they were there cranking it out.  SST pressed 7"s for radio only (such as Meat Puppets, Husker Du), but this is the only promo-only12" that I can recall seeing, and this is for sure the first time I've EVER seen this record.  The wax on this copy is outstanding and appears to have been barely played. There are no marks at all on the playing portion of the record (the track is 3:58 TRT, and repeats on both sides), the wax is glossy and despite a bit of dust, is very clean.  I dusted the record but didn't use cleaning solution.  Matrix etchings: "J. Robert Oppenheimer/ Edward Teller" on both sides.  This comes in its original white jacket, which has some signs of storage/handling. The cover has decal residue upper left and right, and faint ringwear at 6:00 and 12:00, as can be detected slightly in the photo.  Minor cornerwear is evident, but not significant. The rear of the jacket features lyrics to "War Is Our Destiny", decal residue upper right, and somewhat more significant ringwear from 12:00 TO 6:00.  See photo.  The jacket is intact however, mostly clean, and has no seam splits, or tears.  MetalArchives listed this record (although they listed it as a 7", which I do not know if this is an error) as being "almost impossible to find" and that much is true--- it's not on Gemm nor Musicstack, and looking for it online is a real headache.  Doom collectors and Saint Vitus fans will NOT want to miss this piece, as it doesn't come around often, and it sure doesn't pop up in this good of a condition (those who've worked at a college radio station, where these were sent, know what I mean).
