Diana Ross – Diana (1980) Vinyl LP - RARE White Label Promo (WLP)
Incredibly rare, highly collectible White Label Promotional copy of Diana Ross's seminal 1980 masterpiece, Diana. Produced by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards of CHIC, this album features the legendary cross-over dance-floor anthems "Upside Down" and "I'm Coming Out".
Unlike the standard retail commercial pressings, this rare radio promotional variant features the crisp, official textless white Motown center labels denoting its promo status. The matrix details (1-8A) point directly to a first-edition pressing, providing the highly sought-after, hard-hitting analog dynamic range that modern reissues simply cannot replicate. A definitive cornerstone piece for any serious Motown, Funk/Soul, or Disco vinyl collector!
