This is the original red vinyl, white label promotional copy of the 1966 45 "Seasons Greetings From Motown", Motown Records. Included are Martha & The Vandellas, The Temptations, The Miracles, Shorty Long, The Spinners, The Four Tops, The Elgins and The Supremes.  This promo-only release (commercially released, stock, copies apparently do not exist and were never produced) was probably intended  to hype Motown's major artists' Christmas albums (by the Supremes, Temptations and Miracles) and consists of two brief spoken word Christmas greetings (segments of up to 20 seconds each) by each of the nine Motown artists listed above. Excruciatingly rare in any shape or form!

The PROMOTIONAL, RADIO STATION-, AUDITION OR DEMONSTRATION COPIES AND RELEASES (such as the one we have here) were often distributed among the radio stations before the record was released to the public, sometimes as much as four months ahead. These records are generally considered to be the "first among equals", which is to say the VERY FIRST generation and the VERY FIRST pressings of the particular title; a PROTOTYPE and the earliest known official pressing of the record. In this case, though, this is a rather moot point,  since this rare promo-only version of this record was never commercially released to begin with.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VERY GOOD+(+) . CAUTION: The vinyl is NOT MINT or NEAR MINT, but is nevertheless in a very nice and clean condition. There are some surface marks and abrasions, mostly light and superficial, although some may be longer than 1.1/4 inches (1 inch = 2.5 centimeters); NOTE: minor glue residue noted across side 2, very little of it in the groove area, mostly in the lip (intro groove) and trail-off vinyl (dead wax), not expected to significantly affect playing.

(b)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

COVER : This PROMO-ONLY pressing comes without any custom jacket, and will be shipped in a plain, generic, white cardboard cover; not separately graded, but in great condition overall.
