Description

This is a superb original EX to EX+ copy of the scarce, and EXCELLENT, U.S. Warner Brothers WBMS 117 PROMOTIONAL-ONLY "U2 - 2 Sides LIVE" RADIO SHOW LP, issued in 1981, and RECORDED LIVE at the Paradise Theater, Boston, MA, March 6, 1981! Please NOTE that this is the ORIGINAL PROMO (not the "pirate" or "bootleg" copy that surfaces from time to time)! Lovely vinyl, with 2 or 3 very small, very slight, superficial surface rubs, conservatively graded EX to near EX+!  Remember...nothing to us is mint!  Please read the label for tracklisting.
This album was part of the excellent "Warner Brothers Music Show" series, which was issued between 1978 & 1981 (approximately) for RADIO AIRPLAY! This is ONE of the most scarce U2 collectables, and it is a FANTASTIC LIVE SHOW! 
I don't use stock photos.  The pictures that you see are of the actual item being offered.  Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.  
I will combine shipping on multiple items, so if you buy more than one item, please wait for me to invoice you in order to save you some money.
Shipping: All vinyl is shipped in cardboard mailers to insure safe secure delivery.
US: $4.00 for First Class. International: You will have two options.  International First Class (which varies by country) or Registered Mail with tracking (which costs an additional $13).  Because International First Class does not include tracking, I cannot be responsible for delivery, but can provide proof from the post office that it was shipped.

Goldmine Standards for record grading used.

MINT-Perfect, Flawless, even some new records don't qualify for this rating. 

NEAR MINT-Usually the highest grade, plays like new. Will have little or no background noise when clean. No marks, scuffs or scratches on the record. The cover should be in like new condition with little or no wear. Records over 20 years old in this condition are rare and therefore demand a premium price when they are truly in NM condition.

EXCELLENT-Almost like new, maybe a mark or two on the record, but it should still sound like new. Vinyl looks shiny and clean. Dynamics, Clarity and Fidelity should all be excellent on the vinyl. The cover may have some wear, but certainly no ring wear or major marks or damage on the cover. Most collector examples.

VERY GOOD +  A Beautiful Album, Some wear on the record. Some marks, scuffs or light surface scratches, certainly no skips or constant ticks when playing. Fidelity and Dynamics should be excellent. The cover can have some light wear, ring wear or bruised corners.

VERY GOOD    Has some marks, scuffs and light scratches on the vinyl. Will play through without any skipping or major constant "ticks". Well cared for records, but evidence of playing them many times are there. Fidelity and Dynamics are still good, but maybe some light background noise between songs. Cover has ring wear and bruised corners, but overall front and back are in good shape. Some shine to the vinyl still.

GOOD+ Well worn record, has scratches, "ticks" and surface noise. Maybe a skip or two, nothing major, but would not be a collector example. Deeper scratches and noticeable shine gone from the vinyl. Will play with fidelity, but background noise will be present.

GOOD    Lots of wear to the record, skips and scratches are certain. Deeper scuffs are present. A record that has seen better days! Record still plays, but gone is the fidelity and dynamics that make vinyl magical. Cover has ring wear, seam splits, and writing sometimes. Not a cover you would want to frame. Only to be bought to sustain a need until a better example is found.


I am a 40 year veteran of the music industry and I’m selling off goodies and rarities acquired during decades of collecting. Many of these items are very hard to find or were not available to the general public. All items have been carefully stored in a smoke free climate controlled environment. If it’s autographed, I guarantee it because it was signed right in front of me or given to me by a member of the music industry who had access to the artist(s).
