The Clash LONDON CALLING, 2-LP Set, Epic WHITE LABEL PROMO (1979) First Pressing

$

100

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 soft poly inner sleeves.

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 White Label Promotional Copy is a First Pressing of the original 1979 release.
• It is a Double Album.
• This copy has never been played.
• The gold foil Promo stamp is top left back cover.
• The single pocket, single piece board cover has tight seams and shows no wear.
• The inner sleeves have lyrics, credits and photos. I have added soft poly inner sleeves.
• This is a one-owner that the Seller got new from Epic Records in 1979. It has been in storage for 41 years.
