Chuck Berry's Golden Decade Vol. 2, Double LP, Chess WHITE LABEL PROMO (1972)

$

20

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.

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.

• By this time in 1972 GRT had acquired the Chess label and this is one of their compilations.
• This Double LP is a White Label Promo has never been played.
• The single piece board gatefold cover has tight seams, a stiff spine and shows no wear.
• The original die-cut inner sleeves are included. 
• This is a one-owner that the Seller got new in his record store from the GRT rep in 1972. It has been in storage for 45 years.
