Aerosmith / The First Decade / 9 x Vinyl, WLP
1982 Columbia / US / Promo Cream of the Crop - Holy Grail

A collection of white label promotional only albums of the groups first eight Columbia releases housed in a sturdy box with  "Aerosmith" graphics and a borderless stamp that reads "Demonstration Not for Sale." The outer box is held together with black tape (from the factory) which more often than not would deteriorate with the passing of time.  These were given to radio station VIP's and (the white labels) were in very short supply. Extremely rare. In 43 years I have only seen four sets with the all white labels, there is a variation that has red labels. Those have a border around the "Demonstration Not for Sale" stamp that is located on the front of the box. At the top corner of the back of each album is stamped in gold "For Promotion Only - Ownership Reserved By CBS - Sale Is Unlawful" Labels are white on all of these.
Also includes a B/W 8x10 press photo of the band, (This was not included originally with the set).
All album covers and vinyls are in NM condition and appear to have never been played. A must have for the serious Aerosmith fan.
Albums include: 1. Aerosmith (original inner generic sleeve) 2. Get Your Wings (original inner generic sleeve) 3. Toys In The Attic (original inner generic sleeve) 4. Rocks (original printed inner sleeve) 5. Draw The Line (generic inner sleeve) 6. Live! Bootleg (original inner printed sleeves and poster - this is a 2 lp set) 7. Night In The Ruts (original inner printed sleeve) 8. Greatest Hits (original inner printed sleeve)
OUTER BOX: EX- (water stain inside at top left corner, two corners are split) COVERS: NM
VINYLS: NM
Record Grading STILL SEALED (SS) - Still in original shrink, never opened. Any shelf-wear, drill hole, saw mark or cut corners will be noted. Please Note that a sealed album doesn't mean a mint album. Some imperfections are only discovered after an album is opened, inspected and played.
NEAR MINT (NM) - The album has been placed in a plastic storage bag and placed on a shelf between other records. The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times if any. There are no marks on the vinyl or album cover and the whole package is complete.
EXCELLENT (EX) - Not as good as NM but better than VG+
VERY GOOD + (VG+) - Used but very well taken care of. Covers will show signs of use. May exhibit slight ring wear, corner dings, creases, slight color fading. Vinyl may have light marks, scuffs or scratches. May exhibit slight warps that do not affect play. May exhibit slight surface noise, crackle or pop that won't over power the overall listening experience. Will satisfy all but the most demanding collector.
VERY GOOD (VG) - A used well-loved, reasonable copy. There will be obvious signs of wear to the cover. The vinyl too will have marks and usually light surface noise between tracks and during quiet passages.

Most of the albums I sell are hard to find, rare and higher priced and don't need to be sitting around in a mail cart for days or weeks using media mail. Postage charges are automatically based on your location.
All records are removed from the album covers (except sealed albums) to prevent seam splitting of the album cover during the shipping process.

Sorry, but we do not sell outside of the USA.
