Notes

From Elektra LP 60396 "Ride the Lightning". Promotional Copy - Not For Sale.

Double A-side, record has the same track and labels on both sides.

The sticker on the front cover shows:
The Friday Morning Quarterback Album Report January 25, 1985.
WQFM. Milwaukee. WI M.D. - Jerry Gavin "A while ago a certain Elektra Promoman came by with a copy of the new Metallica LP. I like many other M.D.'s around the country, was skeptical about what I was about to hear, but after I listened to 'Fade To Black' I knew Elektra had something there. Lo and behold 'Fade to Black', after about five weeks of airplay, tests in the 80's 18-30 adult and in the 90's 30-35 men. Don't let the name Metallica scare you off."

This is a beautiful copy of this rare 12" promo single. The cover had some ring wear and wrinkles. Also a bit of wear on corners and edges, but no splits.  
The vinyl is beautiful. I have looked at it in different angles and lighting and I cannot see any marks, scuffs or fine lines. Just some find dust!  It is truly NM.
