Bee Gees TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, Vintage Vinyl, ATCO PROMO (1972) Never Played

$

35

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.

Album ships in a 2 MIL poly cover sleeve and a 2 MIL poly inner sleeve.

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.
• It is on very thick vinyl with the ATCO color wheel label.
• It is a Stereo recording.
• The single piece board gatefold cover has a top seam split, a stiff spine and shows some slight edge storage wear.
• This is the original version with the gatefold "Pop Up" of the group.
• The Radio Station timing/Promo Sticker is lower front cover.
• The original inner sleeve features Atlantic/ATCO catalogue album covers. I have included a soft poly inner sleeve.
• This is a one-owner that the Seller got new from the Atlantic sales rep in his record store in 1972. It has been in storage for 46 years.
