Up for auction here is the album seen in the pictures associated with this listing, an ULTRA-RARE DJ PROMO COPY OF  Wigwam "Tombstone Valentine," a 2 LP stereo white labels double vinyl set from 1971 on Verve Forecast Records. This is an American DJ Promo copy produced by Kim Fowley. It is VERY RARE AND HARD TO FIND! Cosmetically speaking, the vinyl is quite nice for its vintage age, with a decent shine and reflective quality to it as well as the fact that the vinyl has very minimal surface-level scratches throughout. These are not massively easy to see unless examining closely under well-lit circumstances. The playback on these albums is good even on my cheap old turntable...There are places with light pops and momentary crackles. A large portion of this impact is from the need for these to be cleaned by a pro that best knows how. They were VERY dusty when I first got them but I did give them a careful cleaning...only to find that they are still somewhat dusty/have some storage-oriented light debris. The labels are excellent...no writing on them, bright black and white print and print contrast, strong holes without damage and the unique appeal of them reading "Special Disc Jockey Record." The gatefold cover has quite a lot of wear. There is a great deal of splitting (best seen in the last pictures), corner bumping wear and the outline of the album (best seen on the back cover). There is also an orange and black "DJ" sticker on the back cover of the album.
