Description

This is one of 300 promo copies distributed by the American division of V2 records- now defunct- of The White Stripes' 2005 album, Get Behind Me Satan. According to variety of sources, V2 released 300 copies in addition to XL releasing 300 (bringing the total to 600). 
This particular copy was hand numbered by V2 as #15 on the cover and on Side 1 of each of the two vinyl LPs. It was most likely given to a journalist. 
The sleeve is in Very Good condition but does have some expected, albeit minor, wear on the spine and corners as this copy was found residing amongst a large amount of vinyl in a shelf. As the photo of the spine shows, it is labeled as The White Stripes V2ADV-27256-1. (You'll notice some light wear in the image as well.)
As the pictures of the records themselves attest, they are Near Mint having never been played. (As these were promo copies, they were never sealed.)
The Wikipedia entry on this album goes on to state:
"Get Behind Me Satan is the only album by The White Stripes to not be commercially released in a vinyl format. The reason behind it was because The White Stripes had intended to re-record Get Behind Me Satan entirely live in a New Zealand studio and wanted that to be the official vinyl version. However, the studio that they were planning to record it in no longer had the recording equipment to make it possible. As a result, there was never a commercially released vinyl of the album. Yet, there are only a few copies of the album on vinyl LP that were given exclusively to music journalists for review, which have since become coveted collector's items. They were released by both XL Recordings and V2 Records and each label had 300 each, making the total 600 and highly rare."
I will cover shipping costs via UPS.
