Description
From the band that brought you “IN-A-GADDA-DA-VIDA” in 1968, that became a psychedelic-era anthem, this is a PROMOTIONAL ISSUE of the band’s third LP.
As you probably know, PROMOTIONAL RECORDS were ONLY released by record companies to the radio stations and DJs for on-air play or to VIPs in the music industry. They were produced in very small/limited quantities, and they were NOT available to the general public to purchase; therefore, for these reasons, they are valued more by vinyl collectors. Many promotional records are particularly hard-to-find these days and have become highly sought after by vinyl collectors and especially the fans of certain recording artists/bands.
In this auction:
-
“BALL” LP by Iron Butterfly
-
This is ATCO (Atlantic) RECORDS SD 33-280.
-
It was released in 1969 in a GATEFOLD COVER.
-
This is the WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL PRESSING of this LP.
-
There is a circular orange sticker on the front cover with the printing “Promotional Copy NOT FOR SALE”.
-
The COVER is in STRONG VG CONDITION. There is light overall wear on the cover. A name is written in black marker at the top left corner of the rear cover. There are small pushes on all four corners and moderate wear on the bottom right corner.
-
The VINYL is in VG+ CONDITION with some very light surface scuffs/hairlines (none are “feel-able”). However, the grade would probably lower to VG, NOT due to the vinyl condition, but because the name “Jay” is written and underlined in thin black marker on the Side One Label.
-
The PROMOTIONAL WHITE LABELS are nice and clean (aside from the name written on one label). The labels have “SAMPLE COPY NOT FOR SALE” printed on them.
FYI: I used Goldmine Grading Standards (P for Poor, F for Fair, G for Good, G+ for Good Plus, VG for Very Good, VG+ for Very Good Plus, NM for Near Mint, M for Mint) to VISUALLY GRADE this LP, so please know the descriptions of these grades before bidding.
