AC/DC BACK IN BLACK, Vintage Vinyl, Atlantic PROMO (1980) Never Played

$

107

Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.

New and vintage vinyl is hard to grade strictly using eBay’s system because the record and the cover are two different components. Therefore, I call a record new and mint if it is opened but has never been played.  I use the grading category to describe the cover condition.

• This Promotional Copy is a First Pressing that has never been played.
• The gold foil Promo stamp is upper right front cover and the radio station timing/promo sticker is at the bottom of the front cover.
• "Back In Black" has sold over 50 million copies but this Promo is one of only about 250 that were pressed before the initial release of this classic album.
  
• The single piece board cover has tight seams and shows no wear.
• The original inner sleeve has photos and credits.
• This extremely rare Promo is a one-owner that the Seller got new from Atlantic Records in 1980. It has been in storage for 38 years.
