Isley Brothers "Forever Gold" T-Neck Records PZ 34452,1977 RARE WHITE LABEL LP

$

30

If interested, this seller has simultaneously listed 5 other Isley Brothers albums from the same time period.  All in similar condition, very clean promos and NM vinyl. 

The seller received this LP as a promotional copy from the label at the time of its release.  The disc was visually inspected and appears to be in NM to Mint condition.  The disc has rare non-standard WHITE LABELS, which were used on albums destined for radio DJs, record stores/buyers, and media personnel to promote new releases.  These are typically first pressing copies, which are coveted by collectors.  Printed on the labels is the wording "Demonstration Not For Sale".

The cover is in VG+ condition.  It has a gold promo stamp on the rear cover, and a DJ timing sticker and a hype sticker on the front.  The cover is structurally in good shape, but it does have some scuff marks, mostly around the back edges.  It has the original custom inner sleeve, which has a 5" seam split on one side, and a 2" split on the bottom.  It is made with glossy paper and features lyrics on one side and photos promoting five other Isley Bros LPs on the other side.

The album has the original 8.5 x 11" insert,  which is an order sheet to buy Isley Brothers T-Shirts and Hats.  Sorry, but the offer expired on 12/31/77!

Please zoom in on the provided photos to see the overall condition of this item.

(Wikipedia Excerpts)  The Isley Brothers are an American musical group originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, that started as a vocal trio consisting of brothers O'Kelly Isley Jr., Rudolph Isley and Ronald Isley in the 1950s. The Isley Brothers performed soul, R&B, funk, gospel, Motown soul and doo wop. With a career spanning over eight decades, the group has enjoyed one of the "longest, most influential, and most diverse careers in the pantheon of popular music".

The Isley Brothers have sold over 18 million units in the United States alone. They have had several hit songs including four Top 10 singles on the United States Billboard chart. With their first major hit charting in 1959 ("Shout"), and their last one in 2001 ("Contagious"), they are among the few groups ever to have hit the Billboard Hot 100 with new music in six different decades. The brothers have been honored by several musical institutions, including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Hollywood's Rockwalk, and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame. They received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014.

Seller is the Original Owner. I have recently begun to list my 2500+ record collection on Ebay, so please check back occasionally to see my new listings. My collection has been securely boxed and stored in a smoke free environment since 1983. Most of my vinyl records have never been played, and many have their original shrink wrap. Seller was in the retail record business in the 1970's-1980's and acquired many promotional and collectible LPs from that era.

Grading methodology is as follows:

M (MINT) - Album is brand new, sealed, and has never been played.

NM (NEAR MINT) - Vinyl looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap. LP cover may have some light rub marks.

VG+ (VERY GOOD PLUS) - Vinyl may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned corners, or a slight seam split. May have slight signs of wear also may be marred by a cut out hole, sawcut, or cut corner indicating it is a promotional copy.

VG (VERY GOOD) - Vinyl has light wear, scratches, or scuffs. Covers may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached, etc.
