National Lampoon GOOD-BYE POP 1952-1976, Vinyl, Epic WHITE LABEL PROMO (1975)

$

20

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 obscure record from 1975 is absolutely a Comedy Classic.
• It features Paul Shaffer writing and producing. And Christopher Guest writing and performing.
• Other featured performers and writers include the late Gilda Radner and Brian Doyle-Murray.
• This WHITE LABEL PROMO has never been played.
• The radio station timing/promo sticker is on the front cover and the gold foil Promo stamp is on the back.
• The complete lyrics (which are hysterical) are on the inner sleeve.
• The paper-on-board cover has tight seams and shows no wear.
• This is a one-owner that the Seller got new in his record store from the Epic Records rep in 1975. It has been in storage for 44 years.
