HERE IT IS FOLKS, A 1984 U.S. WHITE LABEL PROMO OF METALLICA "RIDE THE LIGHTINING" ON ELEKTRA / ASYLUM LABEL. IT ALSO HAS THE MEGAFORCE STAMP ON LABEL TOWARDS LEFT OF CENTER HOLE. THE FRONT OF SLEEVE HAS ORIGINAL PRICE STICKER FROM THE NOW RECENTLY CLOSED "SOUNDS" RECORD STORE WHICH WAS LOCATED @ 20 ST. MARKS PLACE (*a.k.a. East 8th Street* 2ND TO 3RD AVE'S IN NYC). IT ALSO HAS THE BEGINNING OF LIGHT RING WEAR AT THE TOP & BOTTOM. THE BACK SIDE HAS THE GOLD PROMO STAMP TOP CENTER & JUST ABOVE THAT, THERE IS A SMALL 2" x 1/4" PIECE OF SLEEVE REMOVED, IT'S ALMOST A PERFECT RECTANGLE.
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE HAS SMALL SEAM SPLITS ON ALL 3 SIDES. THE WAX IS TOTALLY IMMACULATE, STILL RETAINS THAT GLOSSY LOOK, NO FINGERPRINTS, MARKS, SCUFFS OR SCRATCHES TO REPORT. I WOULD HAVE RATED THE WAX MINT, BUT I KNOW SOME WOULD PROBABLY BE SKEPTICAL & OR DOUBTFUL. THE WHITE LABELS ON EACH SIDE ARE PERFECT, NICE & CLEAN. THEY ALSO HAVE "PROMOTIONAL COPY NOT FOR SALE" TO THE RIGHT OF CENTER HOLE. THE DEAD WAX HAS THE MASTER DISK STAMP & THE STERLING RECORD COMPANY STAMP, WHICH IS A LARGE LETTER *S* WITH THE LETTER *R* INSIDE TOP CURVE OF *S* & A LETTER *C* INSIDE THE BOTTOM CURVE OF *S*. THE MATRIX ON DEAD WAX READS;
SIDE 1 - STE-60376-A-3
SIDE 2 - STE-60376-B-3
BRIEF NOTE ABOUT WAX: THIS PARTICULAR LP COMES FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION THAT WE RECENTLY PURCHASED. THE OWNER WAS A FRIEND OF ONE OF THE ORIGINAL FOUNDERS OF C.M.J. (from whom I also purchased a collection from). ALL LP’s ARE ORIGINAL PRESSINGS. THE COLLECTION CONSISTED OF APROX. 1,000 LPs & 45 RPMs. THERE WAS A BOX OF STILL SEALED (some w/ cut outs) LP’s, ANOTHER BOX OF WHITE LABEL PROMOS AND AMONG OTHER GREAT FINDS.
